Re: No thanks... said by Karl Bode:It's not yours, in the same sense that renting a game from Gamefly is not yours. Which doesn't bother me necessarily, as I find the $60 per game price tage these days obnoxious. I think the idea has merit if priced right and done right. I just doubt it's OnLive that does it right. We'll see. I know what you mean. I was getting multiple games for less than $10 a pop not even 10 years ago. |

Strange....I remember buying Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 games for upwards of $50.
The same with any top-of-the line system of the time.
Xbox360 games are $60, new PC games are close to that as well...
Of course, you could buy xbox and PS2 games for $5-10, but who wants to do that? |

Of course many here at BBR are determined to stomp their feet and complain bitterly when a company chooses not to ask for opinion on pricing matters. |

Now I rent console titles through Gamefly, and buy games through Steam when they go on sale. With very few exceptions. |

And you my friend are precisely why the rest of us are now forced to pay $60 for games. I loved that game...totally worth my after school money from working fast food! Seriously though, sixty bucks for a very short game or a game that sucks is highway robbery, but sixty bucks for a great 20 or 30 hour RPG or FPS with great online play is a pretty good deal IMO. |
