Development costs and currency pressures push game prices skywards

Consumers will pay more than expected for new game releases this Q4, as the weak pound and record development costs force publishers to increase trade prices.
Activision has confirmed that the eagerly-awaited Modern Warfare 2 will carry a hefty RRP of £54.99 – and retailers have been warned that other publishers are likely to follow suit

Arey tension nahi bhai.. Crysis was priced at aroun $59.00 in US and EU etc etc. but here in India it was available for Rs. 999.. so Modern Warfare 2 will be around 1k-1.3k..

DirectX 11 cards won't be that cheap at the time of their launch as the one I mentioned above.
