Scope for a league game

[Mario]

The first Madden was actually Madden '89, which came out on whatever gaming systems were around in 1988. I've never played that version of madden so I cant comment on whether it was or wasn't good, but this rugby league game is about a level with madden 98 or maybe madden 2000 at a stretch (the anomaly in comparison here being that madden 99 was an unmitigated disasater). Still, that is four full years behind. People have come out and made excuses for the manufacturers (it was their first effort, lack of money etc.) but if that is the case, why are they charging a similar price to madden 2004 for their game? That's like charging the same price for a ford laser as you would for a mercedes! Plus the amount of bugs are absolutely inexcusable for any game, or that matter, almost any consumer product. You surely cannot tell me that you would accept a car, or a toaster, or Tv set, or anything that you bought with that many faults!

I think people are using the wrong analogy here. Videogames are an entertainment product with retail pricing points being set by the market in a similar way to music CDs and DVDs. Its all about supply and demand, and perceived value.

You and millions more may enjoy the Black Eyed Peas' Elephunk more than you enjoy the South Hampton Tabernacle Choirs Greatest Hits, but you'll still have to pay the same price for them both at retail.

The solution is - if you don't feel that something isn't giving you value for money, then don't buy it.

WRONG MARIO
I'D UNDERSTAND UR ANALOGY BUT

BLACK EYED PEAS HAS NO SCRATCHES
AND South Hampton Tabernacle Choirs Greatest Hits HAS SCRATCHES

I LOST ALL MY NRL GAME DATA LAST NIGHT

KIND ALIKE HOW U'D LOSE A SONG TO A SCRATCH

I WOULDNT PAY $30 FOR THE SCRATCHED CD
I DID PAY $100 FOR A SCRATCHED NRL OR A FAULTY NRL
BUT SEEING ITS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE, ITS NOT A FAULTY COPY, BUT A FAULTY GAME ITSELF ACROSS THE BOARD, MASS PRODUCED

ID BE HAPPY IF South Hampton Tabernacle Choirs Greatest Hits WAS CLEAN AND NO SCRATHES, THEN I'D PAY $30 FOR IT
SAME AS HOW I'D PAY $100 FOR NRL, THAT WOULD NOT DELETE MY FILES, BY THE MYSTERY GHOST WITHIN THE DISK.

EITHER EDUCATE THE MONKEYS OR USE HUMANS TO TEST THE GAME, AND MORE THAN 5 MINUTES NEXT TIME PLS.

NOT HAPPY - 5 VIDEOS UNLOCKED - MARIO - U KNOW HOW MANY HOURS THAT IS, THE AMOUNT OF TIME PUT INTO, AND NOW I HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.

IF U CAN VALIDATE MY $100 TOWARDS THIS, I'D LIKE TO HEAR IT PLS.
BY THE WAY - MY MEMORY CARD IS FINE B4 ANYONE SUGGEST OTHERWISE..........ALL MY OTHER GAMES ARE THERE AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, AND STILL WORK.
