No_Nickname Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 sad that they now care more about the stockholders then the actual people that buy the games. What's next, another raise on game prices??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartyPooper Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 ....you just had to say it.... $70.00 games, here we come If only... Aussies already pay around the $89.00 mark for new releases even though we have dollar parity with the US.

buttscratcher Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 it costs money, it has to be great! People paid for Spectat for Bc2, so why wouldn't EA come up w/ something else for the lemmings to spend their money on? :) ....you just had to say it.... $70.00 games, here we come Think Blops is up to $120 now w/ this last "map pack" butt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttscratcher Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 last one has ports of CoD:WW maps...... not even new stuff for your dosh Yeah, someone mentioned something about that this morning when we were populating. Treyarch gives each server renter one free token, so have not had to pay for them. We still run a mix of the initial map list, as to keep a full server. Will eventually have to check out the new zombie map though :) Sorry for getting off topic butt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=GoMg=THE__DRIFTER Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Simple, bought / preordered RO2 for $39.95 and the FREE mods will be available. EA, well, no thanks.
