Add as a preferred source on Google

So the original point of this article was to find and pass on our five favorite Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 video posts of the week. Every day more and more people are taking advantage of the ability to post their own content directly from their games onto YouTube, and some of those clips can blow a mind right out of a head.

The idea was to look for some insane kills and a few tips from pro and amateur gamer alike. We’ll keep that in mind going in to next week, but for now, the best Black Ops 2 clips this week aren’t from gamers, but from Activision itself.

Earlier today, Microsoft raised the price of its Xbox consoles by up to $150 in the U.S. Just a few hours before that, Apple announced a similar move for its Mac and iPad portfolio, while also raising the sticker price of its Vision Pro headset and several other products except the iPhone.
