Would you pay extra for a early release ?

dorismary · 01-24-2009, 05:25 AM

With a month before the release of MLB THE SHOW 09 I often wondered if SCEA or any other game company offered a (FINISHED FINAL PRODUCT)exclusive early release would anyone pay double to get the FINISHED game a month early ?
I know I would with The Show and maybe a Hockey game how about you and do you think anything like this would ever be done by any game companies in the near future ?

No way in world would I pay double for a game that I'll get eventually! You could use that other $60 to buy another PS3 game. One reason I HATE Microsoft, spend this yearly fee on Crapbox Live when that $50 could be going to a game to use on the life support System. But to get back on track, no, I wouldn't do it as I believe it would be a complete waste of money. Hypothetically speaking, what IF '09 was the worse baseball game ever? Now you're out of $120 bucks instead of $60. I'll take my chances with $60

*Knocks on Wood about worse baseball game*

Bring me Glory, SCEA!

Thats what I love about PSN no fees or wasted $$$ plus I really dont play online but im able to get all access and everything updated free unlike xbox live , The Ps3 just does so much I even used it as my CPU when my laptop went down for a bit.
If it was offered I would do this for this game and if a someone wants a game bad enough early and is willing to pay double to get it as a company I would do it call it a Club Exclusive Offer . Its a win win at least for me as I only buy 4 to 6 sports games a year .
What do you say Kolbe/Russell do you take Preypal ? $120 right now

damn yeh

countryboy · 01-24-2009, 08:08 AM

nope.

Its would be worth it for me... I am only going to be playing the Show for the next 6-8 months or more...
Why would I not want a head start on getting all my roster tweaks, sliders set and my franchise inline?
I am not knocking anyone's preference but if I can get it a month early? Hell f#$%in' yeah!

No, I wouldn't. Besides the fact that $120 for a single game seems ludicrous IMO (thanks Mike Tyson), I kind of like when the game is released as the Spring Training schedule is starting up. I like to try to play in sync with the real schedule throughout ST and the season. These past few years, I actually look at the game as sort of a companion/enhancement to go along with the real MLB season as it unfolds (might sound wacky, but it works for me).

I might pay extra for a few vintage stadium packs as DLC though (sorry, I still have a bitter taste in my mouth on this one).

magoo, just out of curiosity...
if for instance u lived outside the US like me and had to import the game every year, meaning that would cost u over 100 dolars per game, would u still buy the game?

im just asking because u said that 120 dolars would be "ludicrous"...
