LBP DLC: Street Fightin' SackBoys

I wish; then the pricetag would actually be reasonable. The prices on purely topical DLC is so ridiculous, wtf!

No, feminine wilds

of course it seems silly to you

i would seriously recommend not buying it if you don't like it

I didn't say the price was unreasonable, I said that it's silly to make this shit in the first place.

I agree with Marty in this instance. It's like the Chimeran sackboy skin you can buy - you're paying for an advertisement.

I appreciate that this content is optional but really - why does it even exist?

"I didn't say the price was unreasonable"

Funny thing about what's reasonable, in this case, is that value is not measured by functionality. As an exercise, how many of you were pissed at the $2 horse armor (which actually altered stats, thus had functionality) but are ok with $2 sack costumes, which are just for looking at?

i thought the beef with horse armor was that it didn't alter the stats or actually protect the horse

Can't disagree with what rhymes.

What part of "SackBOY" do you not understand?

Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh you.

PUNy Eartlings.

+1 for both of you :D

If I knew who the hell Kristin Kreuk was, I might have something to say about that.

I think I'm just bitter.

el serp there is a wide range because sony doesnt disclose the cost of advertising games, neither do other companies. that is a fair guess though.


from how much LBP was advertised on TV across the nation and world for a long time now, it can be estimated that LBP advertising cost sony millions of dollars.

how much exactly do you think it costs to run a 30 second tv ad on a u.s. national tv network?
those ads were played thousands of times over.
(they cost about $ 10,000 - $ 500,000 for each 30 second national tv ad)

heres some info for your stupid head:
Media buyers pay an average of $419,000 to place an ad on “Grey’s Anatomy,” making it the most expensive fall show on network television, according to Advertising Age’s annual survey.

“Grey’s” is followed by “Sunday Night Football” ($358,000), “The Simpsons” ($315,000), “Heroes” ($296,000), and “Desperate Housewives” ($270,000).

“American Idol,” returning next spring to Fox, is expected to surpass “Grey’s”; it is “already fetching 30-second ad prices ranging from $500,000 to more than $700,000,” Brian Steinberg writes.

The least expensive shows are news magazines: NBC’s Saturday broadcast of “Dateline” averages $28,000 and the CW’s Sunday show “Online Nation” costs $23,000, according to Advertising Age. There is a noteworthy exception: “60 Minutes” on CBS fetches $111,000.

i was comparing the cost of making a costume to the cost of making the actual game.
sony spent a great deal of money making this game, which has not been recouped yet.
however making a costume is very cheap for a game designer and can offer some profit margin.

ahh el serp, the defender of sony products. only comments on what others have said. never has an opinion of his own. usually always wrong when he tries to think.

el serp reminds me of a cockroach i used to know in my old apartment. yeah a bug is the best analogy of el serp.

from wiki:
Marketing

Both Sony Computer Entertainment and Media Molecule undertook a large-scale marketing campaign in the run-up to the game's release.

where have you been el serp, these games dont sell themselves.
and it costs millions of dollars to market any big game release. that is common sense.
the actual cost is unknown, that is why there is a big range.
