Part 1: Call of Duty: World at War
I was at the EB Games near my work, and I was watching the people buying COD:W@W. Let me back up a bit, first thing I noticed was that it cost $65 cdn, (and C.E. is $80)!!! Usually a game comes out at $60 cdn!! The only thing I can think of is that because the Canadian dollar is low they are raising prices. Which is strange considering when the dollar was strong the prices didn’t drop?
COD:W@W has about 7 skus, 7!!! 2 for PC, 2 for PS3, 2 for 360, and 1 for PS2. PS3 + 360 cost $65 bucks with the C.E. costing $80, pc costs $55 with the C.E. costing $80, and ps2 cost $45. Activision is sure to make a lot of money off this game. ALOT!!!
Any way I was watching the people buy COD:W@W and there were a lot of them. And they weren’t just buy the regular one either I saw at least three(3) C.E.s sold.
So what I am getting at is this: I am not going to say that COD:W@W is a bad game. That would be wrong seeing as I haven’t played the game yet. What I will say is do we really need a new COD every year? Why couldn’t Treyarch just make DLC for COD4? Or new MP maps? And why WWII? I think that I would be a lot more receptive if it wasn’t WWII.I will give this game a rent for sure but I can’t see my self giving COD:W@W the same amount of time I gave COD4.

 | Posted: 2 months ago Gundrill is correct. The money made off of DLC is a drop in the ocean compared to what they will make on the sales of a new SKU. And public companies have to 'comp' against the sales last year at the same time, which is why it's launching at almost the same exact time as 4 did last year.For the record, I'm not paying for it! /but I'll play a free copy ... lol! --------------------------------- 'I wanna get my knees dirty.' -- Gunnz, Netcast 37 |
