u mad cuz ur ***git
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.
The following 2 users say thank you to Shepleklet for this useful post:

i got 2 more slots open for game shares when the maps come out, the first 2 that hit me up gets it at no charge. Reason why i say 2 slots because my other friends have my acct too and you know how ps only lets u have your acct in 5 ps3s only including yourself.......You know u gotta be generous for those who cant get it on time or cant get it at all

Haxor!
I dunno. I think they should be 10 AUD im not cheap but im a kid. I think they're just greedy and probably make map pack maps pop up in games where people don't have the map pack just like in WAW to make us buy it. I rekon it would be harder to get killstreaks on the two flashback maps as well. probably share the download with a friend. Im not cheap; it cost 20 dollars for 5 maps two of which didnt even need any work except for a few retouches

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.
