Pay-Per-View: Way Out of Line
August 19th, 2006 by FuzzI don’t often get a lot of time to myself. Sometimes when I have time, though, I like to play a little XBox. I’m mostly into sports games: Madden Football, Baseball, or Hockey.
Well, I was delighted to see that Madden ‘07 comes out on Monday. I might buy it, even though I will probably only get to play it a dozen or so times before Madden ‘08 comes out.
Here’s where the pay-per-view tie-in comes in… I was watching SportsCenter this morning, and I saw a commercial for Madden ‘07. This wasn’t a commercial for the actual game itself, though, it was a commercial for the new “Inside Madden NFL” ESPN pay-per-view show. IT COSTS $19.95 to watch a SHOW about VIDEO GAMES!!!! That is just friggin’ nuts!
What is more friggin’ nuts is that they wouldn’t put these things up for sale if they didn’t know that PEOPLE WOULD BUY THEM!
