Hello,

The price shown may have been the non Gold member special price (in green) with the Gold member special price (in yellow) above. Sadly when items are on sale they do not always show the original price. All sales have a date range and often a limited time
forcing us to make quick decisions.

I'm sorry you missed it but it may go on special again.

Good luck & happy gaming

The deal is currently being advertised on Sales and Specials. If it is no longer available I do not understand why it is being faslely advertised on Sales and Specials. If it is being advertised for one price it should cost that price.

Get used to it. Games are becoming more and more popular and with that will come higher prices . They increased the price because there was a higher demand. I guarantee that some random unpopular game couldn't get away with the same price per content
as Call of Duty.

Just look at that statistics. More people have bought the map packs in MW2 and Black Ops than any other piece of DLC. Why would that be an incentive to charge less?

I was actually charged an extra 5$ for Dying Light. So I ended up paying $84.99 were as the price is shown as $79.99. You have to love the taxes added on after they changed from MSP to a cash based pricing system.
