The overpriced Modern Warfare 2 DLC that arrived on the Xbox 360 a while back is now finally making it’s arrival on the PS3.
Tomorrow morning you will be able to download the 3 new maps and 2 refurbished maps for the not so tiny price of $14.99.
You can read up and view a video about all the maps by clicking here.
I was honestly hoping that the community would revolt against the pricing that Activision tried out with this map pack but after it was downloaded by over a million people in the first few days it has become apparent that we are willing to pay whatever is asked of us for DLC.
Modern Warfare 2 is still one of the best games I have played in this generation and I highly recommend anyone who hasn’t tried it to head down to your local retailer and pick up a copy, but this DLC is just too much for me. Which is sad because it effectively killed my online gaming time with MW2 since so many people picked up the new maps.

I actually have 2 jobs :), but that doesn’t mean I need to pay more for something than it’s worth.
It’s not about not being able to afford $15, I think it’s safe to say we can all afford it. The question is whether or not it’s worth that price.

yea stop bitching bout 15 bux you cheapskates. its smart marketing as it represents about the max that people would pay for it. therefore they are maximising there profits. considering its one of the highest selling most sucessful games of all time and arguably the greatest multiplayer shooter in the world i think thats warranted.
HOWEVER! its fucking 10.30 and still no stimulus where the fuck is it you dodgy cunts!

I’d like to formerly apologise to my 12 year old friend, because I’d rather spend $15 (R150) on two movie tickets (with popcorn) or a new DVD, rather then on three or four maps.

Just a heads up, the 2 previous commentators are from Australia where I just paid $18 a ticket for a crap movie for the wife… excluding popcorn.
See what happens when you allow companies to rip the ring? You start defending it

Lol! Geoff and Gavin, in Sweden it’s almost 100kr (about R100) for ONE movie ticket and about 50 – 70kr more for buttered popcorn and coke.
I also made the mistake of not checking to see if the movie was dubbed in Swedish or if it was being played in English. Just my luck it was in Swedish. I felt like such a dumbass. 🙁

In South Africa, we actually have some of the cheapest movie ticket prices in the world. lol!

But that would be better than a Twilight movie… maybe if I could watch Twlight in Swedish it would be better?
Bobby Kotick is an impoverished bum

It’s amazing that not so long ago there was such an outcry over Bethesda and their horse armour DLC for Oblivion, but now you’re automatically a cheapskate bum (for demanding a more reasonable price for DLC – $15 for 4 maps is not reasonable). Clearly this recession hasn’t taught everyone those valuable lessons that our grandparents took for granted 😛 :whistle:
