Halo 3 is putting up its price

Eduard — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 03:44:16 +0000

The latest of a series of price questions has been raised against Microsoft’s Halo 3. The game was announced earlier as just an expansion pack, and definitely not a full game, or stand alone title. Jo Staten said very definitely that this game wasn’t meant to be a complete retail experience, and microsoft was looking to price it something ‘value based.’ But OSDT has been announced as a complete, stand alone game, with the standard $60 price tag.

The question being asked is why. Microsoft has justified the price on the base of content, with a full single player campaign, which is brand new, and a new co-op fire fight mode, as well the complete Halo Multi-player collection on a single disk! It seems a lot. But if you’re playing multi-player you already have most of the content, except for the 3 new maps.

So its hard to say if the game is really something new, or just a new story in the same overall world… I mean instead of telling the story of character a, you’re playing the story of character b, everything else remaining constant.

Well I dont know, how different the stories are, might actually make the difference in the end. So we’ll just wait

The Bargain by- gamers Vs. developers

Eduard — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 03:32:57 +0000

So these days everyone needs wants more money, the recession has hit everywhere! Even the gaming industry, naturally is suffering, but its suffering rather interestingly! People keep questioning pricing decisions. I’ve already done a piece of the PSPgo, and on Left for Dead 2, and now its Halo 3. Though the game was indeed announced as an expansion, it has since then morphed into a complete campaign game, with a decent amount of new multi-player content as well, including I think what is a new kind of Multi-player game.

So, somehow I never saw people really questioning the price of games, quite frankly, I thought you just buy what you see, and if you don’t like the price, look for something cheaper! But I suppose what has changed is that with Franchise games coming out in several sequels etc. The gamer feels entitled to continue that relation ship with the game series, and so has a legitimate demand for a price that is accessible to him.

But the nature of ‘bargaining’ is sort of dif. Because while in the case of most products, sellers can keep the actual contents and quality secret, and actually charge you premiums on assumed better quality… in the gaming industry, the quality bit is really not something gamers bother with.

Quality is just sort of assumed! And rightly too, cause game developers will try to keep ahead of the pack to attract newer gamers, and so the quality is something gamers don’t necessarily need to pay for, the competition takes care of that. Actually also, the quality of the physics and stuff in a game are sort of pre-determined by which generation of gaming we’re in.

So the bargaining is actually a very basic sort of we want more for the same price kind of peeve. Which makes me wonder, whether or not its just the usual every guy wants more for his dollar kind of syndrome or do these guys really have a point?

And I guess the answer is, it varies from game to game, and what’s going on!

I’d really like to figure out how powerful the gamers are in such a negotiation. Like the proposed L4D2 boycott having any effect on the developers? And what could the possible repercussions for the game be, if the boycott actually is successful… with every franchise attracting a core set of die hard fans of the game, its becomes truly difficult to see the real effects of this whole negotiation will be.

Sony looking for a jumpstart with the Go

Eduard — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:33:18 +0000

The PSPGo, is supposed to be the next big thing in handheld gaming, but is it? It isn’t much of a step up really from the PSP3000 and has all the same features, the only additions being 16gb of onboard memory and integrated bluetooth! Which is okay, in terms of upgrades, but the problem is honestly the price range. With production costs being as low as they are with this machine, and almost no development, you have to wonder why it commands a price of $24, which is basically what the PSP1000 cost when the whole idea was entirely brand new.

Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan Securities says the game really isn’t much of anything. Thougg its forty percent lighter and fifty percent smaller than the PSP3000 its hard to justify the price, cause a lighter, smaller machine should cost less. He also mentioned that development costs for the PSPGo had been slashed by 80%. He says that producing the PSP3000 is cheaper than the PSPGo, and hence it should cost less? In his opinion the Go is priced to high to entice early adopters and then the price will later be slashed when demand dries up. This sort of an underhand tactic will earn Sony millions.

Well I cant really comment on whether or not the price is justified, and even if it is, I wont be buying it! Quite happily, more than half the time for me, the question of value for money, in the case of many gadgets is just academic…
