Copied from elsewheres, and it made perfect sense to me (sadly) D:

It makes no sense to me, why the **** would you be a "Fanboy" of one system and then pay out the other systems and it's games?
Why would you argue about "The PS3 version has 2 less FPS than the Xbox360 version" then go on and defend companies that actively go out of their way to screw you over and give you less features than the norm (at a higher price point) for more profit?

Why don't gamers want more features and benefits in their games? if I'm paying 60 dollars for a game that probably didn't even cost a few million to make, why is my sense of "Entitlement" such a bad thing?

Movies cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make, their market is now smaller than the gaming market and they sell their products for ****ing $10.

Modern Warfare 2 - 40 million dollars spent on it by Activision (Budget hollywood movie)
$550 million opening week.
$69 dollar retail.

The Dark Knight - 185 million dollars spent.
$158 million opening week.
$16 dollars retail.

And yes, I understand you put a lot more time into a video game. This is purely in a monetary sense, so keep that out of here.

Makes sense, but if you think about it, with DLC(PC) you pay $50, but get to use it for like a year, which cost the same as 5 view of the same movie, which last about 1-2 hours, I'd say a game is more worth it, assuming you have the platform, of course.

Ta-da! Jailed and fined $25,000! But seriously, $50 for a good game and you're complaining, a movie, I suppose since they have worldwide sales. Games are generally centered around the area it's released.

Oh? That happens in your country? Too bad.

Brad Pitt has bought the rights of a Capcom game to be made into a movie.

That sure came out of nowhere.
Let's make a movie for a remotely dull looking game that isn't even out yet! I see nothing wrong with this plan!

(the "remotely dull looking" part is purely my opinion, of course)

That game reminds me of GTA. (not IV which was the only good 1) Where the only fun thing is driving in the vehicles and going off ramps, while in here its just flying around randomly in a jet pack you dont even get until like mid game
