Hi,
As they say in the business world that's the price of doing business. 
You have to spend money to make money, and all that.

 Hi Richard,
 Yes, I will explain this. Initially I was going to offer a discount of
 $30.00 to everyone during the month of December. however, as I was
 finalising things I remembered why I needed to tack an extra $5.00 on
 the initial sale price. Around $30.00 I keep for myself and USA Games.
 The other $5.00 covers things like taxes and the Paypal.com fee for
 processing credit card orders. As I soon realised if I put the game on
 sale for $30.00 this early in it's development I wouldn't be clearing
 much off of the game after taxes and credit card processing.
 I hope this clears things up, and gives you insite as to why we decided
 to stick to the plan of $35.00 USD.
 Thanks.

Hi William,
Sorry to everyone who read my earlier quote of $30.00. As I explained 
ihn a previous post I did some calculations prier to posting the final 
price for the Beta and forgot to figure in the price for credit card 
transactions and some sales tax. The extra $5.00 USD is used for sales 
taxes and credit card transactions.  Bringing the total to \$35.00 USD 
for the game.
It is true about $30.00 is what I keep out of the transaction, but the 
rest goes for just day to day business expense of selling the games.

Hi Ian and all,
I'm fairly certain paypal.com processes Mistro cards as well. Paypal.com 
is doing our credit card payments and they generally except payments 
from all over the world with several types of payment methods including 
electronic checks.

[Audyssey] Montezuma's Return pre-ordering now available.

2007-12-06 Thread Thomas Ward
Hello gamers,
USA Games Interactive is happy to announce that we are now taking 
pre-orders for Montezuma's Return for $35.00 USD. You can quickly pay 
now with your Visa, Discover, American Express, or Master Card with our 
express checkout system using Paypal.com's IPN service. To begin your 
adventure with Angela Summers and Montezuma's Return buy it now at:
http://www.usagames.us/store.php
What are the advantages of pre-ordering Montezuma's Return rather than 
waiting for 1.0? Be able to unlock any and all betas between now and 
1.0. Have your key before Christmas, and be able to buy Montezuma's 
Return for a friend or loved one as a Christmas present. Be able to help 
find and fix bugs before Montezuma's Return reaches 1.0 stable without 
being limited to a demo. Be able to give suggestions and pointers you 
think might improve the game before it is finalized. With all these 
reasons why wait?

Sincerely,
Thomas Ward

Hi Thom,

In a previous post today, you said,

snip
Currently, monte is scheduled to go on sale for $30.00 USD during the 
month of December, and in January it will go up to $35.00 USD so it is a 
bargon to buy while it is in pre-order.
end snip.

Then 2 hours later, you said,

snip
USA Games Interactive is happy to announce that we are now taking 
pre-orders for Montezuma's Return for $35.00 USD.

would you please clarify what the preorder price is.

thanks in advance.
