Despite the $15 price tag, Modern Warfare 2‘s Stimulus Package managed to sell a riduclous (and we mean very ridiculous) amount of virtual copies. Pretty much everyone agrees that for 5 maps (2 of which are old) $15 is way too high. Well, to one analyst by the name of Jesse Divinch, that price is too low.

Yes, Divinch has actually said that Activision could have charged $20 for the pack and people still would have bought it. He explains below:

“It is evident that 2.5 million Xbox Live players felt that $15 was either just right or a good bargain and given the enormous quantity sold (2.5 million), I’d argue that Activision could have charged more and still obtain the same results.”

I refuse to buy the maps at $15. I can afford them, I just don’t like how Activision priced them (Blizzard, don’t worry, I still love you). But $20? Hellllll no.
