Console gaming = more money

can you get all these games for $6 on a console?

i dun tink so

Not to mention a good portion of console gamers own multiple systems...

But at least as a console gamer you have the option of paying $60 for a game and selling it to Gamestop for $13 so you can purchase a used game for $55...

I spent $1200 this gen alone on PS3s breaking and having to pay for repairs. No other console of mine ever broke on its own. My NES and Genesis still work so it was due to poor care. When something goes wrong with my PC (usually as a result of my own doing) all I have to do is make a couple Google searches and find the fix myself. I sent y PS3 to Sony once for repairs and after 2 months of waiting, they sent me back a refurbished unit so I lost all my saves and the game that was inside my PS3 was not returned until I made a separate claim with Sony.BPoole96

So let me get this straight... you guys brag about cheap games, yet insist that we're the ones on welfare? lowe0

I can think of 2-3 posters who recycle the argument, and I know one of them is just joking and having fun (tenaka)...

So, since when do the few exceptions make the rule?

Also, be kind enough to show me where did the TC ever said you or other consolites are on welfare...

Wow.. Can a 7 year old PC run the games you listed? :|

So a handful of games that all came out a year or more ago is a deal for dirt chea? It's nice but you can still walk into gamespot and dig into the bargain bin of games that are 1-2 dollars on sale, and have other buy 2 get one free deals going. You might end up paying $10 instead but at least there is also more variety.

Also, the Humble Bundle is different, it lets you pick the price... and the one thing your telling devs for paying $6 for hundreds of hours worth in games is, you dont' give a **** about them, or supporting them, you just want games at stupidly low prices.

Sorry no 4 hour movie-games for you in that list though.

[QUOTE="OhSnapitz"][QUOTE="tagyhag"] And what does it mean when you buy used games that developers won't get any money out of? :Pclyde46

It's been proven that console gaming is more costly than PC.

High-end PC hardware is obviously expensive, but when you sit down and think about it, you would realise that PC is cheaper in the long run.

I'm planning about creating a thread about this, full explanation.

That isnt the case here with the humble bundle. Since it's meant as an enticement for people to help donate money to charity, not because no one was buying these games. It's not a bargain bin

Well actually if you were smart you would have pointed out that the 3 million is actually split among 3 entities at the discretion of each buyer. The default split appears to be 65% to THQ and 20% to charity. But giving some money to the developers is better than none, unlike those bargain bin gamestop purchases

I always thought console gaming was cheaper because PC it seems like you spend more money.

do you read your own article?

The study also looked at what they spent on, and, not surprisingly, money spent seems to be shifting to scarce goods -- the things that can't be "pirated." In the music world, that includes merchandise and live, as well as online subscriptions, rather than "buying music."

They are spending money on things they can't steal easily, this isn't helping your cause when its a study that cleary shows people stealing what they can and paying for what they can't steal.

Secondly if you look at this at a gaming perspective, you think developers make they're livelyhood on live shows and tshirts?
