Just came back from playing a little bit of COD4 this morning. Nice to see the 13m mark. It is truly a good game. But on an unrelated note, I've seen a strange flucuation in the pricing for the game was well...

As in that the price has gone up again after a decrease?

I remember snagging a copy of CoD4 off steam when it was 49.95 back when the economy was sky high, like 92 cents per USD, best buy ever. In the following 2 days or so it was sky rocketed to 89.95 JUST for aussies, and its the ONLY game on steam thats done that.

Anyway about CoD4, good on them for making such an aweshum game, I have indeed had many enjoyable hours in CoD4, very much looking foward to modern warefare 2. Treyarch did a decent job for once in WaW but I still don't like this whole switching back business, should of stopped at UO.

13 million is an amazing number - most game developers would be estactic with even a 1/10 of that.

And achieved probably with not too many Japanese sales either.
