    My question to Sony would be WHY ?

    This game was a very bad port of an Xbox  game and even after a ton of patches it still does not run properly on the PS3 - horrible frame rate problems.

    SO - why would Sony want to feature this game ?

    @1 and 4 - CoD are VERY popular games. Hope that makes you understand the "why". If you still do not...

    @ PSU - please ban #3 asap...

    I agree with 1 and partially with 4 on the WHY!  COD is a great game and franchise overall.  Is it perfect....NO, but well worth the money I invest in it every year.  But since it has already sold MILLIONS of copies, why would you create a bundle so late in the process?  This isnt exactly going to cause a huge boost for console sales when its packaged with a game that most people probably already own.  Sony needs to put out bundles with games when they first release (this bundle should have been available in NOVEMBER) to help GIVE a person who doesnt own a PS3 a reason to buy one as well as give potential Xbox owners a reason to cross over.  IT also will drive sales for current PS3 owners lookin to upgrade!

    Why announce a Black Ops bundle when MW3 is literally right around the corner? Should've worked a deal for a MW3 bundle or something.

    @4 You are absolutely right. I keep hearing how bad the PS3 port is yet I have it for 360 and it is almost flawless. So why would Sony pick this game?

    I know it is popular and all, but crappy port is a crappy port. There are so many other games that Sony could bundle.
