(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.

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).


1. Physical copies cost pennies on the dollar to make. In digital distribution XBOX Live Marketplace and the Playstation Store get a substantial cut of the sales. The only reason they choose to distribute digitally is because its a convenience to gamers.
2. Advertising costs millons upon millions of dollars. MW2 cost 50 million to make, but 200 million to distribute and market. I never said that marketing costs outweigh final DLC sales either.
3. Pirate much?

If you like something I think you should be able to defend and have an educated debate about it.

It isn't even out yet, its still in beta and people are already defending it. I could understand if the final version was out.
