[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]Well most importantly, one goes "Bling" and one goes "Bloop". RTUUMM

The trophy levels are a better idea then flat out points. Getting a Platinum trophy on PS3 is much more compelling then trying to get 1000 GS on the 360 imo.

[QUOTE="PandaBear86"] I have real-life experience of non-gaming parents who buy games for their kids on the spot without thinking "I wonder if I could get a better deal off Amazon". My sister is like that when she buys games for her kids. She has a PS3, and she calls it an "Xbox" because she can't tell the difference between them. Good luck depending on her to find the best deals on games. I never said being non-tech-savvy = stupid. It just means you understand the market less. Why are you putting words in my mouth?roxlimn

[QUOTE="PandaBear86"][QUOTE="roxlimn"]Little Johnny down the road doesn't have any money t buy games in the first place. He'll ask his Mom to buy it for him, and you bet your bottom dollar those 40 year old soccer mom are cheapskates! They'll pinch whatever penny they possibly can, and the blogosphere (where they communicate) ensures that they are well-informed. Just because a person is not tech-savvy doesn't mean that that person is stupid. That's an unsound correlation.roxlimn

And I never said being non-tech-savvy = stupid. It simply means you understand the market less, and find it more difficult to find better prices on certain things.

"Nintendo is greedy" is an idiotic reason. Of course they're greedy! They're a for-profit company. They ALL are. When a company drops its prices after a few weeks, it's not for public service or for the good of gaming or any similar such nonsense. It's to maximize profits by following the equilibrium price on the supply/demand curve. This is basic economics folks. Get a book and read about it.roxlimn

oh, well tahst good to know. TC= pwned

and has anyone looked on amazon.com for videogames? its the cheapest way to get them.

"If you know where to look".... in other words, its really difficult to find them at that price. That still fails, you shouldn't need to spend time searching dozens of websites and stores just to find a decent price for a game. Thats like saying "Stonehenge is a portable sundial.... as long as you have enough people to help you carry it around".

In other words, it's difficult to find them at that price? Did you even bother to click the links I so generously provided before you made that comment? Do you want me to provide all those great price comparison websites that I have bookmarked? Judging from your comment, you don't even know what price comparison websites are since you still think that a user would have to navigate numerous different retailers to find the best deals and that is, quite evidently, a fallacy.

Well, you can actually find both Super Mario Galaxy and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for approximately €30 if you know where to look.
