You can buy a ballpark for $600,000 etc. And the kicker? The traditional game was selling for $9.99. The "new"? $29.99.

Are we sure this is true?<BR/><BR/>Speaking from a game-design perspective, this is a horrible idea. The LifePod is a single point of failure guaranteed to break very early. As it is a proprietary device it will be expensive (relative to the cost of a new game) to replace. It will also slow the game down as people cannot handle financial transactions simultaneously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11719208.post-17932164013582321102007-04-02T08:24:00.000-07:002007-04-02T08:24:00.000-07:00You'll know this insanity is over when the games h...You'll know this insanity is over when the games have plastic gold and silver coins as money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
