Me? I wait for Assasin's Creed II and pass on MW2...
I would turn around and put that 60 towards some Sennheiser HD-555's...

No questions about it, I'M STILL BUYING THE GAME! question is do the people who bought the Prestige Edition buy it again???? But This game is still a must have in my eyes! everyone complaining at an alarming rate has got to either Trade it back in so someone can buy it cheaper or just do what is intended to be done with this game PLAY!
You know what, the large number of complaints are a direct result of the huge number of sales.
A little math:
If 5% of the people who buy the game complain that it sucks, and there are 100,000 copies sold then that is what, 5000 people complaining right? But if 9 MILLION copies get sold and the same 5% complain, that number is 450,000 complainers.
Holy crap! Where's the tylenol...

I really want some of those 555's. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I am looking into some better quality that my 50 dollar Sony MDR-V300 headphones can't do. Only problem is that I may have to look into an amplifier as well to run them with better performance... and that costs more money.

Six, in your OPINION do you deep down in your gaming heart feel that all these complaints are justified???? or people just complaining for the fact of complaining I mean sure the matchmaking isn't great and the host migration could be better but a bad game THIS DOES NOT MAKE!
You know, the amazing thing about this game (and most others too) is that it seems there is something, somewhere in there that just grinds each and every players' gears. Now not everyone will bother coming here to complain, but by and large I just think (based on years of actual experience with professional complainers) that people just love to complain and feel it is their God given right to do so as a paying customer. From the stand point of "Hey, I paid $60 for this damn game and <fill in blank> sucks, so I feel cheated", I guess the complaints are sort of justified. As the old saying goes, "The customer is always right". On the other hand, presentation is EVERYTHING in this world so if you come in here sounding like your just nerd raging with no real point, then people will go "meh, another whiner". Bottom line to me is this; Bring your complaints to the discussion rationally and with malice of forethought and people will work with you on whatever is bugging you and more than likely give you a work around solution like "shoot DOWN the chopper gunner Johnny, and stop running out blindly to get killed yet again".
How's that for a semi-grandios answer?

What do you want them for? I am a musician and an audiophile, and I have found pure bliss with my Shure SE-210 musicians sterophones for around $100 these days. Nearly completely soundproofed when worn correctly, I can even mow my lawn and not have to turn my MP3 player even up to 1/4 volume. That is a real hearing saver. Moreover, they sound really great with good bass response (not muddy) and give extremely comfortable extended wearability. Check them out if you get near a Best Buy, or at least that's where I bought mine for $150 two years ago.
Geez, I sounded like a damn commercial there

So bottom line people are complaining to hear themselves TALK.."TYPE" could be a valid explanation but not a good one in my opinion because when it comes down to actual FACTS, the GAME IS NOT BAD! Sure it was over hyped and maybee that's what set the bar up so high for failure in peoples eyes but all this complaining is getting out of hand! quick note people compare this game to UC2 but when UC2 released everyone started complaining about multiplayer and how it took so many shots to kill people or people run away from them blah blah! Maybee just maybee MW2 isn't for everyone might not be your type of game but no need to BASH it!
Ah, the perils of a free society
