(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I just called Gamestop to ask if they had the MW3 Hardened edition for PS3 available for pre order and the guy answered "excuse me sir but what's that" and I had to say the special edition that's $100. He then said no sorry it's not available and then I asked him if I could pre order COD Elite and he said "sorry sir we don't have that version of the game available" I just had to say forget about it before screaming "n00b" through the phone.

If I buy the game with full intent to purchase every bit of DLC I wont feel ripped off. I don't disagree that DLC is over priced but as long as my money goes to the devs im not complaining.

Firstly just do the mathematics, you're being ripped off. Secondly, the majority of the money goes to Activision(the publisher), not the devs(which is ironic, given that Activision are the ones over-pricing the DLC).

the workers at my local GS are tryhards. haha
yours sound like straight up noobz!

same here man, this girl is pretty hot and always i mean always when i go and trade-in games or pick them up, shes there and flirts with me all the time, like im in the gamestop store for probably 30minutes to a hour, but she does know her games lol, even when i go in there with my girlfriend she still flirts with me, man my gf gets pissed, lol when i leave the store i get the quotes "you want me to get her number" "nice flirting in front of my your F***ing A**hole" lol

So you flirt back at her?

depends on the type of day lol, just kidding

Surprised? How many home depot employees don't know jack about home improvement?
And all the game stop employees at mine are full blown gaming geeks!!

MW2 shipped with 16 maps, so the 15 dollar pricing seems fair considering that they also have to digitally distribute it and re-advertise it which probably cost more than the development. Supporting video game devs is the same as buying an album, you might be paying 10 dollars for an album, but only 1 dollar will go to the artist. Im more than happy to pay those 9 meaningless dollars as long as the other 1 dollar goes to the original producer because I can recognize how hard they work.

1) Digital distribution is infinitely cheaper than making physical copies of games. Anyone should be able to figure that out.
2) Advertising costs a minimal amount, not even near what they make in DLC sales. Not anywhere near.
3) I don't buy albums because of that very reason(well, and I'm kinda poor for slow-solicitor reasons, long story :p).
