Amazon slashes $20 off Black Ops, discounts all Call of Duty games

February 14, 2011 By Jeffrey Van Camp

Amazon has cut the price of all recent Call of Duty games, dating back to World at War. The deal is only good today.

It may be Valentine’s Day, but there’s no reason you can’t show your console a little love. For today only, all Call of Duty versions for all consoles are on sale at Amazon. Every recent title in the franchise, from Black Ops to World at War, is 20-50 percent off. Better, newer releases like Black Ops are discounted the most. Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3, XBX, PC) is priced $39.99, a good $20 cheaper than its regular $59.99 price. The PS3 version of Modern Warfare 2 is also $20 off (Xbox 360 version is $10 off).

The Call of Duty franchise has become a staple of first-person shooter gaming in recent years, especially in the console space. Activision Blizzard’s last two iterations, Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops, have each well-exceeded $1 billion in global sales, eclipsing most Hollywood movies and other forms of entertainment. Black Ops was even the most-played Xbox Live game of 2010. In fact, the game has been so popular that the CEO of Activision said playing Black Ops rivals activities like Facebook and texting.

Cornelius Wilson at 9:23am 14th February 2011 Forget the $20 price cut, everyone has the game already. All PS3 users should get $20 refunded back for the crap of a game we bought as it has been unplayable. I wish they would release more information on Modern Warfare 3. I just read here http://mwarfare3.com/modern-warfare-3-to-be-95-bu... that they will make Modern Warfare 3 at least 95% bug free according to Sledgehammer Games. Which is great because Black Ops was extremely buggy and the experience was just ruined. And don't let me start with MW2...
1. Jeffrey Van Camp at 2:44pm 14th February 2011 Hey now, I thought Black Ops was pretty good. Also, how can you know how bug free something is? Wouldn't that require knowing how many bugs you haven't fixed? And if you know, wouldn't you fix them?
