Yes, i knew that, but it said that players are buying less of the longer games.

I hate the fact long and short games cost the same price.

Less time is spent on a short game, and they say games are priced so high because they last longer than say a one and a half hour long film!

That is just cod-b.....ks! And really annoys me about the game industry!

And the reason why I hardly ever buy a game over £15 anymore!

They mean, the games are long, so they don't require to buy a new one as they (should) currently satisfied and not reqire to buy a new one.

Let me put it like this:

Games take 1 month to finish, 12 games bought per year.
Games take 3 months to finish, 4 games bought per year.

DO you understand?

"Some games can take months to finish and the result is players are buying fewer of them."

Is that true?

I find that the longer the game, on the whole, it's better. I'd rather pay for a long, lengthy game, like Skies of Arcadia Laegends, than a short game, like Jak & Daxter or Pikmin.

No games should be priced above £20 anyways. Like DVDs! Unless they come with a bunch of bonus disk full of extras like Lord of the Rings!

Games are SOOOO overpriced!

I'm not quite sure how good your reading skills are, or indeed if you have any at all, but those two names sound very different to me.

Yep.

'Claims'

Know what that word means?



Let me help you out:



In this very thread, I'm announcing to you all that my console, Super Whitestripes Entertainment Fun Box, is currently sitting in second place, having sold more units than Microsoft's Xbox and Nintendo's Gamecube.


See, I'm 'claiming'.
