Stimulus Pack Sets LIVE Record

Microsoft today confirmed that the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package has shattered Xbox LIVE records as more than one million gamers worldwide downloaded the new map pack from Activision and Infinity Ward in the first 24 hours alone, surpassing the 2.5 million mark within the first week.

Considering that the new pack cost 1200 MS points, we are guessing that it has made Activision a pretty penny. Remember that the pack has still to be released on the PlayStation Network as it is exclusive to Xbox LIVE for a month, therefore Activison can expect even more money in the bank.

It just goes to show that people will pay anything the publishers ask, even if on this occasion the price may very well be a bit over the top.
