the part thats stupid also is that they were like releasing it on the 18th i think and now modern warfare 2 is being dicks and moves the date up

Look, its called supply and demand. Id do the same in some aspects. Mayb e not 1200 but definatly 800 lol
Its all about money. Money runs everything, Bill G will tell you that. Email him bill.g @ microsoft.com
tell him what you think lol

i dont care about the price becuasei have alot of points i just cant wait for the map packs !!

OP mentioned the rotation system in CoD4 and then mentioned listening to the Podcast. Im guessing he meant the Major Nelson cast.
If he did then he will have heard about the patch coming out same day.

This patch will include a HC Mosh Pit and also extra map rotation in Headquarters amongst other things.

So they have taken the rotation issues into account.

Also the monies received by all 3 companies from the sales of points will hopefully mean future developements will be even greater.

Hopefully it will mean better testing phazes to stop the bugs (not the glitches because they cant find them all till the fine members here at TTG find them)

Either way its all supply and demand. People demand new stuff they supply it and because they know people want it they can whack these prices on

A staggering 1200 MSP? Thats not really too expensive. As snowhiter said above, its only 5 maps(also stated on xbox.com) however, maybe xbox are only mentioning those 5 and there will indeed be the ohter two COD4 Classics.

1200 msp is like 400 more than normal . its like 14.99 so its not expensive

Mentioned on the Podcast by 402 its Overgrown and Crash and then the 3 maps so 5 in total.

If they suprise us with more then I for one will sh*t a brick with excitement as IW/Activision/M$ dont normally do this lol

i'm hoping they have new guns in to make it worth the money/points

There were several rumours of new guns for each Category, along with new challenges/emblems/titles but not mentioned in the podcast.

I think they are trying to keep it secret or sumin
