I heard abt CoD pricing being down low to 19$. Are you calling that big money ?
19US$ = 12€ it's hardly more than two pints of beer in EU (don't know how much it does in Milk bottles - sry)
19$ = 2 or 3 issue of your fav (bunnies ?) Magazine on witch I defy you to stare more than you can do playing CoD - well... depends on who's in the middle pages

)
19$ = 1 French Baguette, two
Croissants and two cup of coffee
noisette (but she was probably not the one of your life

)
19$ = Three tickets to get the metro in London during a day of strike (you'd better walk)
19$ = one single CD out of your favorite collector of the years long TV soap
19$ = two stupid Bat planes on a WWI sim who once claimed to have some
vertue (what will they sells as addons after: the Red Baron's braces ?!)
19$ = nearly nothing related to MS "simulator"
It might be that you come from a country where that amount of money really matters. I can understand that with no irony. But I just want to point you what it means for real on the US/Eu market where that specific price was marketed.
For the amount of works and efforts those guys hve put in, it's really cheap. I only hope that they won't get their ambitions over-sized after releasing BoM.
But Perso, with all the modifications they hve made since the first release, I feel satisfied. Certainly technically CoD lacks some points but so far the "deal" ended in fairness
