I'll gladly deal with (un-obtrusive) ads to get free content. Such as with Hulu, and network TV. But when ads make up about half your content, the value of your medium reaches $0.00, which is why I don't buy magazines or cable tv.

Bugs the crap out of me that if I spend $8 on a single magazine, that about 50% of the printed pages are covered in ads. Choose one revenue stream, and if that's not enough to cover your costs, find a new medium.

Seriously. I wouldn't blame "the ability to lie" for losing sales. There's got to be a lot to be said for: The Crappy Economy; CRAZY EXPENSIVE lift tickets (minimum $45 to almost $100 a day — $600-1500 for a season pass); the uppity attitude at "resorts"; Global Warming/Climate Change causing less snow, the laziness of the average American, etc.

DROP PRICES and they'll do more volume. Simple as that. Don't get me started on $15 cheeseburgers, or an $8 slice of pizza.

I wish I was exaggerating on the prices!

Titles not available, the 4 imports, and TMNT. All cost 600 points.

Any NES title "worth 500 points" Which seems to include 78/83 titles available for the NES VC. TMNT is not available. I didn't know there were any others not worth 500 points, wonder why the others aren't available.

There's a special menu option to "select a free NES game", it's not exactly 500 free points. I was kinda hoping it would be 500 points, so I could get some DLC for Guitar Hero or Rock Band. Or part of a SNES game for that matter...

It seems only 78 of the 83 NES VC titles are available.

And I just know the day after I make my choice for a free game, they will find a way to license Battletoads from Rare/MS.

Seinfeld, on the other hand, did have an SE/30. Amirite?

Heh, for some reason reminds me of a bit from the Onion Movie. "Call Kostman's, The P*nis People" Shrugs.
