Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8398We have never been in a depression this century and still are not. This is a media created recession that is as false as the equity in your home. You can't say that type of comparison, I doubt fat people are outside sleeping in the doors of stores to spend 149.99 on the latest hamburger, they got to Mcdonalds and get burgers for 1 to 2 dollars. |

PS - To the OP, you are exhaggeratting. The $150 collectors edition is hardly the most popular copy sold. The basic version @ $60 is the one 90% of the people will buy. |

Most people are paying $50-$60 on this. The $150 is not the most popular. what do you spend on your internet bill? Ever stand in line for a sale for Christmas? Ever stand in line for a movie? How much is your cable bill? All of these things is comparable. It appears you just don;t understand that many people find video games more entertaining than movies and TV. You do know there is online gaming that can go on as long as you like, right? You can replay the game in a wide variety of difficulty. So people will play this game, have a good time, and get better value and most likely more hours out of it than a monthly cable bill. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 331367 Austria 11/10/2009 01:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am not a gamer (to old, to slow) but computers are a pretty cheap way to keep entertained or more. Even more in a world with various work times, overtimes, people doing work abroad .. it would be really difficult to get people together on week days for some cards or other stuff people entertained themselves before tv and internet. And online playing (i play some text based role plays .. very old school) has it´s advantages. I am in europe, while my group in america is mostly at work or still asleap i can watch out or react to alerts some guys frome asia mailed me before he went to bed. That adds some nice 24h realism to the game. |
