What is it that I am missing!? Oh I know, Super Mario RPG is the greatest game of all time!!!! Is that it, the game is of such good quality that it is worth more than the price of todays games on the market, it is so good that it is in fact worth to be bought for over $550, it is so good that it is ultimately being offered for a bargain at only 900 WiiPoints!!!!!!!!! Is this it, is this what everyone in this thread proclaims!?
I will admit that I was about to make some extravagent claim of "illogicality" but I will take a different card and take the non naive way out. Sure I cant really justify the quality of the game because I never played it (impossible claim to make, if that was the case then apparently there is 0 value in reader reviews, ratings systems, magazine spots and even this perceived value and worth of a game)!? But ultimately I have always wanted to play the game, but it is developers and companies like these that cause it to become a sacrifice to scrap together the funds needed to afford these titles. Anything over 500 WiiPoints is a premium price to pay. Anything more than that and I can use the money on real disc based games, clothes, shoes, CD's, concert tickets, steaks, restaurants, an entire onslaught of merchandise featuring my favorite entertainment icons!
I have been praising the Wii VC system though its most major flaw is that the pricing scheme is skewed in the wrong direction. The maximum for any game should be 500, the average 250, and the most basic of games would be 100. Ultimately, Companies have put their faith in ridiculous high prices. What is the difference between making profit, when they can easily make profit off of a 5 cent increase overt the coast of making the item versus charged 5 dollars over the cost to manufacture the item. See it is this problem that has caused so much difficulty for me, for it shows that these companies are profit oriented and will charge way too much to make too much profit.
Look I will admit that the Garage Sale is a unconventional example to use, however it (reminds me of that grocery store and tomato one, zomg I am so good with cogent examples) is definitely perfect for this occasion. It was used to prove to you how heinous the idea that the game was never sold for 5$ is. People sell SNES games all the time at garage sales, the game is only worth at most 5$ and anymore is wheyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much! People sell it for this cheap, it is still being a bargain to buy it in these garage sales, and the sun sets and rises and nothing has changed since 4.5 billion years.
