Tech by PC

There are some things that never change. One of those is people’s need for distraction. Seems like it would be a good time for video game and entertainment companies to make a killing. If they are not, it is probably because they are charging too much. We finally got a console game system, a Wii, with the intention of using it for family time and fitness. The problem is that in order to do anything on it, it just costs so much money. Looking around on the Internet you’ll find GameFly with about the best prices and deal if you are an average to big gamer. If your kids can play through a game in a few days, then it doesn’t make sense to spend $50 for something that will be boring to them in less than a month. With a GameFly subscription, similar to Netflix, you can borrow games and send them back when you are bored. Their prices on used games are also very cheap.

I’m not subscribed. My kids are just not the gaming type (yet), and I certainly don’t have time. If I was a gaming company exec I’d try the move of reducing the cost of all my games to see how much better they’d sell in this economy.
