I'm gonna go out on a limb and say fifteen bucks a month is expensive. There's no way I'd pay nearly two hundred dollars a year just to play a game, no matter how fun it is.

This is also fair to say. All of this depends on the individual's financial situation.

Read the second part of my post.

Whether or not you're paying $180 every year is not the point. I'm saying that a $180/year, while the same statistic as $15/month, seems like a lot more, and in my opinion, better puts the cost in perspective.

But if you really enjoy the game, that $180 is worth it. Then again like Invert said, it also depends on your financial situation.

Again, read the second part of my quote. WoW offers a prepaid option. You buy minutes when you want to play.
If you dont play a lot, this is a much cheaper option. I guarantee you I don't pay anywhere near $180 a year.

wtf does prepaid have to do with anything. it's not cheaper. you're still paying $15 for a month of prepaid time. (if youre talking about the cards). i pay monthly with my credit card, and i'll cancel it every other month. i pay when i want to pay. prepaid is more liek blowing it, if you ask me, because it's 2-3 months back to back, when im only paying for a month, then skipping a month, then paying for another whenever i want. WTF WARRIOR. L2BRAIN.

Beta, what he's saying is he doesn't pay for the time he doesn't use. What he doesn't seem to realize is that the rate is still the same: $180 for 525,600 minutes, whether they're used in a row or not. I don't think that price is justifiable for a video game, but then again, I place very little value in any game.

With price also comes usage, my method allows you to pay-as-you-use (as opposed to the method warz uses, which is recurring and one slip up and forget to hit "Cancel" and you've got a double charge, additionally my method makes a great gift ). There's a huge difference in paying $15 a month and not even playing some months, as opposed to paying as you go and paying only what you play for.

I wasnt attacking the final cost, it's static. I was attacking your figure which with my method becomes invalidated, since it can potentially be $180 spread over more than a year -- which I'm certain is the case for me.

I think the problem is you're saying that a per year statistic is over the course of a single year, whereas I view it as an allotment of time, with no regard to whether or not its broken up. Meaning, you see it as a real "year" when I see it as a quantity of time.

That's a really weird and misleading way to look at data.

That's the way businesses tend to do things.

Completely irrelevant, but ok.

ive never forgotten to cancel. only a noob would be dumb enough to do that. besides, its annoying to have to run to the store to buy more lame prepaid nigger cards. im white, i have a credit card.
