For those who don’t know; the UK has been going through a recession for the majority of the year, with consumers spending less and less of their hard-earned cash on the high street. Activision has completely ignored this fact and slapped an extra £10 onto the price tag of their upcoming game – Modern Warfare 2.
The move is set to alienate and even frustrate many gamers, who have been opting for second-hand games as oppose to new titles of late. It also worth noting that the single player campaign will only take around 10-12 hours to complete, which doesn't do much to justify the rise.
However, if the move does indeed prove successful for one of the most hotly anticipated titles of the year, then we may just see rival publishers following suit.
Modern Warfare 2 is set for a November 10th release and should cost around £55 in most reputable retailers.
