US: Modern Warfare 2 gets PC price hike

Joystiq is reporting that Modern Warfare 2 on PC is priced the same as its console counterparts in the US.

PC games are typically priced cheaper than console titles, yet according to listings on Gamestop, Amazon and Best Buy, the PC game has an RRP of $60, which is the same as the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. However, the PC edition has a $50 price tag at Wal-Mart.

The same is not true in the UK though, with retailers selling the title for 10 under the price of the console editions.
