Default Call of Duty: Black Ops - free weekend

News - Call of Duty®: Black Ops - Free Weekend Coming, Pre-load Now!

Activision being the generous souls they are will be holding a Call of Duty: Black Ops - free weekend this weekend, and you can pre-load now.

Of course these things normally go hand in hand with a special price don't they:

(EDIT: See Jig's update below)

Base Game $89.99 USD - Oh wait, that's the regular rip off price for we Aussies
First Strike Content Pack $14.99 USD - Oh wait, that's the regular price too
Escalation Content Pack $13.49 USD - There you go a 10% discount

Don't you feel grateful.

* Of course they may add a discount price closer to the weekend.

They have a funny definition of "Free"

You mean allowing you to play it all weekend and not making you pay any money to do so?

I'm not sure which dictionary you get your definitions from but in mine that sounds like the one for "free" ...

Free isn't good enough, they'd have to pay me to touch that game ever again, or any CoD game for that matter.
