    They expect people to pay $60 after this trial? rather get BC2 at $30.

    I got it for $20 :D

    EA had a $20 off coupon and also had the game discounted for $10 for a few days making it only cost $20 tax/shipping free.

    A few days after the $10 deal was gone but you could still use the $20 off coupon to make it $30.00

    I think that coupon is over now so back up to $50 on EA Digital Download.

    Now sure where else its on sale currently.

    I actually got modern warfare pretty cheap too $29.99 + tax

    Yes, play for free over the weekend, and your option to purchase thereafter.

    I know Vicious, the BB price mistake on their ad. I did not buy it because I did not want to add any sales number for the stupid company. I am sticking with the boycott even if they price it at $9.99
