Re: (OT) Madden 2004 and game copy protection
missed the birthday part. happy birthday.
David, i get a lot longer enjoyment out of a game than a movie. maybe the higher price is worth it. also, do movie's have a higher audience?

Re: (OT) Madden 2004 and game copy protection
You missed one of his points. Movies do have higher audiences. They also have higher production budgets. They have more costs to cover than a game. A hundred million to Several hundred million compared to a few hundred thousand to few million. If you work off that then the games can still make great profits.
Also as another point I myself would buy far more games with far less worry about the quality of it if it was far cheaper. With game costs what they are I expect alot more for my money. As for movies... I don't expect as much. I go for a show and even if it is bad I can just sit around and make fun of it with my friends later. If it is a bad game I feel truly ripped off. That was $50+ not $5 to $7! ARGG!
I believe that his basic point is quite accurate.

Re: (OT) Madden 2004 and game copy protection
And all of David's points deal alot with nothing more then simple economics. I learned about how the price of something affects it's sales, and how you have to find the right ratio between the price and the sales to get max profit in a Highschool Economics class, and The game companies just can't seem to learn this. That fact is just sad, really. I guess they just don't understand that a lower price that induces greater sales can be more profitable then a higher price with fewer sales.

Re: (OT) Madden 2004 and game copy protection
That actually depends on the nature of the product and the market...
