Massively multiplayer pricing for Counter Strike Source

I love this idea!

Most of the weapons and equipment in Counter-Strike have had the same prices since the day the game was first released. These prices greatly affect the overall balance of the game. We at Valve know we're not alone in thinking that some of the prices in the game have never been exactly what they should be. (Uh, night-vision?) But rather than tweaking the values ourselves, we thought we'd rather let you decide. Coming soon in Counter-Strike: Source is a new system that sets the prices of what you can buy based on, well, what people are buying.

Starting on October 11th, the prices of weapons and equipment in Counter-Strike: Source will be updated each week based on the global market demand for each item. As more people purchase a certain weapon, the price for that weapon will rise and other weapons will become less expensive.

Bollocks to that. When i used to play pre-source i'd know how much money i had left, and what i could buy next round. Decide whether i need full armor and helmet, no armor at all, i could even decide if i want to buy a flashbnag or not. Then buy everything really quickly at the start of the round and run off like a mofo after buying everything really quickly at the start of the round.

With changing prices it'll be crazy you won't be able to prepare like that, and you'll be stuck trying to plan what to buy after the round has started! Silly.
That and downloading the price changes everytime you log on

THat said.. I don't play any more, so it doesn't affect me

I think it will add more interest to the game, I'm looking forward to it
