I will pay 60 for a good title that takes more than 20 hours to play and can be replayed or i just rent it. So didnt buy gears 1 or 2 or laura crofts, alawys rent those. I did buy fallout 3 well worth it.
I agree with the # of hours thing. $3/hour seems fair to me, so for a $60 it'll have to give me at least 20 hours game time. But I also agree with having a limit, so $60 is the limit for a game - I wouldnt pay $120 for FF12 for example even though it did give me 40 hours of game time.
Model trains are an expensive hobby. A dinner for two could cost $20, a movie $15. Gas, don't drive far. Snacks at the theater?! Wtf, $5 for a drink? Get plenty to drink at dinner. You have fun Mr. Moneybags. :D Same here. :( And EA is milking those Expansions. $$$ The topic is, there are many games that don't give you an…
The way i see it, if a movie costs about $20 and gives me about 3hrs(extras) of entertainment. That's the ratio i expect from games too as were in the same market. So if its $60 then i expect my 9hrs(including side quest/diversions) of entertainment. That's for a single play from beginning to end, not replayability as i'm…
One thing I have always found odd about games is the price rate has stayed the same since the Atari 2600. I remeber purchasing games back in 83 for 40 to 50 bucks and then the Nintendo was the same price and some more. Here we are over 20 years later and games are still on average 30 to 60 bucks. I guess it is a good thing…
Well looking at my shelf I can say I think games are worth 60 bucks. I could take my wife out to dinner for around 35-40 and a movie 20-30 and oh yeah the sitter. 30-50 bucks for the night. For a nice little 100-120 dollar night. Not counting gas, tips, extra drinks or snacks at the theater, etc. So for what would be…
I think $60 is fair, I honestly don't think anyone on this board is educated enough in economics or business (going out on a limb here...it is an art board) to know at what point would lowering the price increase the sales but then level off. I cant speak for the industry or the consumers but personally I don't feel very…
