COD Modern Warfare Limited Edition Console

Okay we all heard about the new COD Modern Warfare Limited Edition Console available right? Well I missed that one but i just went into GameStop to buy the new DIRT 2 and noticed the COD-MW2 clock counting down the days to what could be or at least is anticipated as being the largest game release in history. During the purchase process  the game sales clerk asked me if  I had reserve the new COD-MW2 console. I asked him more about it and he began telling me that its a limited edition with a 250G hard drive, custom graphics and 2 “black” wireless controller’s plus the new COD-MW2 game.

Well I thought for a moment…Do I need a new 360? No. Do I need a wireless controller? No. Is my current hard drive full? No. Do I need a headset? No. Do I have the new COD-Modern Warfare 2 reserved for $59.99? No. Well than that’s an easy decision. Sure I’ll take one! I didn’t even know the price but that didn’t matter to me. COD-4 is the only game Iplay online almost everyday for a few hours. Its my few hours to just veg out and play army, like every little boy does growing up- except I’m 48! He than told me about the Night vision goggles that i could have pre ordered but it was to late i missed out. But i am getting the console and all the goodies that come with it. The sales clerk said I might even shoot better using it. You know he just might be right. So what do you think is it worth it? If you add it all up seperately it is. An Elite 360 is $299 plus 2 wireless controllers at $49 and the game at 59 your looking at a total of $456, so I think $399 is a deal – right?

I also wonder how accurate the game reviews that are written are. If a game publisher has millions in advertising available to promote their new game title and wants to advertise it how appreciative would the game publisher be if the game got trashed? Maybe that is why I read the reviews but don’t always buy them hook line and sinker and go out and purchase the game only to wish later that I read the whole game review.

I personally feel that most of the reviews that I have read did have some redeeming qualities and insight that I found useful. I also bought many games despite what the review claimed. Sometimes they where right on and the game was really bad and other times I bought the game despite the review and thought the game was much better than the review gave it credit for. Just to see how you gamers think, take a second and check the poll on in the top right. Its informal and basic but might give some valuable insight into how important and valuable the game reviews are in determining buying decisions.

Game On!
