Several people are still saying they are being forced to repurchase games they already own. So, let me break this down into an example that may help with those missing the point.
There are 8 Harry Potter films. If we say the average price of these eon DVD is $20, for the sake of argument, the total cost of buying each film individually would be $160. You've already bought films 1 and 2 on DVD for $40. But now, Warner Brothers is offering a box set of all 8 films on DVD for the unbelievable price of $40! That's 1/4 the cost. And let's say, you didn't like Prisoner of Azkaban, so never really planned on buying that one. You can buy the box set, and still come out $60 ahead, or you can be upset because you're being made to re-purchase the first two movies again, plus movie 3 that you didn't like. The math is: 8 movies for $20 each is $160 Minus movie three would be $140 total for seven films you want. Or… $40 for the two you already bought plus $40 for the box set. equals $80 $80 is $60 less than $140. Win win. The math is almost identical in this case, except I think Justin's deal is actually better than the scenario above. To me, if you're not paying anywhere near full price for anything, you're effectively getting the majority of the package for free. So you are not, in reality, being made to buy them again. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
