pricing perspective

Post » Mon Oct 25, 2010 7:02 pm

It seems that people feel that they are ripped off by spending $60 on this and other games that have a few issues. Well, just so ya know, back in the day it cost $49.99 for pacman on the Atari 2600. That was the price for all new Atari games. And even though pacman had only 1 board that you played over and over, we still loved it. I think we get a little more for our money now a days, don't you????? Just putting things into perspective.

Were in a climate now were consumers want there moneys worth..

Yes games ship with bugs but no were near as many as this game has shown... seems to be a worrying trend as of late.

They were $49.99 as priced in the Sears Christmas catalog as I spent endless hours dreaming about them as a boy.

I dont think every Atari game was that much though i do remember it being expensive for Pac. Thing is that was then this is now and they have standards to reach. If Halo or CoD came out in this state people would be commiting suicide left right and center. I love this game but i cant use that love to cover up the facts. This game was released half finished and the lack of PR is also adding to the frustration of not just me but everyone who has paid for this game. Its still got hope for it...i just cant see it lasting long under the current circumstances
