For the last few years, hearing gaming friends and even family talking about World of Warcraft, I absolutely refused to even try playing it, because I didn’t like the idea of buying a game, and then paying for it, and paying for it and paying for it. However over the last year or so, I began to realize, for some things, I was doing that anyway. For instance, Xbox Live, I pay yearly for that, just to play games online, Netflix, I pay per month for that, for one disc so I can stream all I feel like over the Xbox I am already paying yearly for. Some games I buy game currency to purchase pixels.
Then recently I read a post on the Entertainment Consumers Association that someone was pointing out that even though WoW costs money to play, you can get more fun out of it than going to a movie. Recently when I went to see The Blind Side, literally my ticket for a non matine movie without a discount was $10….$10 for an hour and a half to 2 hours of fun. It began to make more sense to me, so I went out and bought the battle chest. I am a Wow player now. Fell right in the trap, thanks Blizzard.
