Will this sell less on PC and PS3? Maybe. People are more likely look at the cost and say "How Much?" whereas Microsoft's method of hiding real prices behind MS Points had people saying, 1200 Mickey Mouse Points, that can't be much...

If they came with a few Spec-Op missions, I would be tempted... but no!

I'm waiting for the inevitable price attached to the PC version.

"Infinity Ward mouthpiece Robert Bowling" - this always reminds me of the Mouth Of Sauron from the Lord Of The Rings.

Coincidence?

I dont think Grima was the mouth of Sauron. He was the official spokesperson for Saruman.

Why the hate for Bowling? It's his job to report to the community, it's not his job to set prices, etc.

Why the hate for Bowling?

Because he talks utter bullshit 90% of the time and he doesn't actually communicate with the community at all?

I'm wary of those dates.

Usually the PSN updates on a Thursday yet this is due to release on May 5th, which is a Wednesday or 4th in the US which is a Tuesday. Although it's possible that they've negotiated earlier store updates for their precious DLC I'm wondering if he hasn't confused his dates somehow.

Also, no price alongside the dates, I'm thinking another massive levy on PS3 porting, 1200 points is roughly a tenner but I'll say this will probably be �12 minimum, knowing Activision pricing I wouldn't be surprised at all to see 15 quid.

'Mouthpiece' is one word for Bowling. Must be a euphemism.

Will be interesting to see how they sell on these platforms

After all they use real money you see exactly how much they cost, i wonder how many people who bought them on Xbox know ho much 1200 points is or even class it as money so it will be very interesting so see how much they try and charge.

So this is the real reason why dedicated servers aren't supported on the PC.. to force us to buy their stupid map pack.

I can't believe people still play this shit let alone want to throw MORE money at this over-priced, over-hyped halo cut/paste.

several reasons why I'm not buying this final fantasy 13, bad company 2, being a typical poor uni student but the main reason stopping me is Activisions snobbish insistence that its a good deal and value for money and all the 12 year olds getting their parents to buy it for em or the people with more money than sense but I've played it for 4000 hours so far so it is good value.......... er no it isnt!! cunts
