To top off your already bad week in gaming news, prepare to be in disbelief at the outrageous price Infinity Ward are asking XBL members to pay for their upcoming DLC release "Stimulus."

For just THREE new maps, along with two of the more unpopular maps from CoD4 (Overgrown and Crash), IW are demanding 1200MSP. This equates to $15.99 USD, $19.99 AUD or £10.99 if you're English.

This is probably one of the most overpriced peices of downloadable content I have ever seen. I have to ask myself, is there anything that Infinity Ward can do to make me have less respect for them? No, probably not..... Unless Robert Bowling demanded a handjob from each of the people willing to download the DLC......

Seriously though, $15.99???
Comment below on whether or not you think this is a pile of bullshit.

I am not discoutning the idea behind your post. I happen to agree that it is overpriced, but I also know that if it were $20 I would still buy it. IT's all about making the profits, and supply and demand. I pulled this from another post I had a few days ago.

Value is linked to price through the mechanism of exchange. When an economist observes an exchange, two important value functions are revealed: those of the buyer and seller. Just as the buyer reveals what he is willing to pay for a certain amount of a good, so too does the seller reveal what it costs him to give up the good.

Additional information about value is obtained by the rate at which transactions occur, telling observers the extent to which the purchase of the good has value over time.

Said another way, value is how much a desired object or condition is worth relative to other objects or conditions. Economic values are expressed as "how much" of one desirable condition or commodity will, or would be given up in exchange for some other desired condition or commodity. Among the competing schools of economic theory there are differing metrics for value assessment and the metrics are the subject of a "Theory of Value." Value theories are a large part of the differences and disagreements between the various schools of economic theory.


I completely agree with you mate, im not bothered about the prices.. you have to get fun out of the maps, they know that so they know we will buy them.. the whole point of them being high priced is so that they can make some profit of it.
So yeah i will be buying them for whatever price they are.

IW has already said they are releasing new spec ops, while 20 might be unlikely, there will probably be another pack with 5 missions. like alpha has 5, and so on.
