Exactly. It might be more expensive in the long run, but the whole
point that some of us are making is that we should be able to choose
whether we want the whole package, or just individual parts of it.
I know what the next phase of this argument will be, though. Something
along the lines of, "but what happens if your DVD copies of your
movies get lost, broken, stolen, etc.? Then you have to go out and buy
them again." That would almost be a solid case, if you don't stop to
think about the fact that nowadays, there are services like netflicks
and Hulu that charge a flat fee, thus nearly eliminating the need for
DVD's in some people's minds. My point being, there's more than one
way to go about doing things, more than one way to attract customers.
This is, in my opinion, what BSC should be doing.

So, what you're saying, is you want Justin to devote time and effort to
write brand-new, individual key generators for each and every title, sell
them off piece meal, and charge full price for them?
Wow.
In the example…
Buying the individual films you want at full price would cost almost twice
as much. You have some strange logic there. Most people prefer to spend
less. :)

That's the whole point.

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.
