50 dollars and play to pay or 150 and Play

[MarkHawk]

Would you rather buy the game for 150 dollars or pay to play 10 dollars a month but only pay 50 for the game?

[Streamline]

Hmmmm????

10 x 12 = 120 + 50 = 170

vs.

150

is this a trick question?

For peps that want to play more than 10 mounths-150 dollars when it comes out

I would rather pay 150 evan though i don't have but i would find a way. And the thing a hate about the monthly fees is that sometimes u need a credit card and my parents no longer own a credit card. So is it possible to pay by cash i know they usually make it more though if u pay by cash?

[simba]

air I have the same question, I have no idea how 2 pay. Can someone tell?

You'll probably be able to pay either with a debit or credit card or with game cards. Game cards are similar to Phone cards, you buy them at a store and they count towards a month or two of gametime or however long they're worth.

Hamma thinks that there will most likely be pre-paid cards, or you pay with a credit card.

It won't Happen, the huge pay once retial but no montly fee, But its a nice thought

He knows, he was wondeirng what people thought would be better.

I wonder why people vote for the monthly one quite frankly..

Sure.. u may pay lots up front but what if u wanna play the game for an extended period of time... I mean really.. u'll end up paying that 150 once or over and over and over in monthly paying.
I find this a very simple question.

On the other hand I know the 150 once thing will never happen for pretty much that reason there. If the game goes a fair amount of time.. 1 year+ then they'll end up losing money which they don't want.

Just my opinion

My brain hurts after reading this thread

Doubt 150 will do the trick,
try more along the lines of 50 +(48*15)
or around 770 dollars, that's about how much you'll pay to play for 4 years

I ussually get bored with offline games in a month, like unreal tournament offline, that bot AI sucked. The ones with good replay value get 4 months, I haven't played a MMO yet though so I have no idea how long PS will keep entertained.

Hopefully they will offer this option as it would save many a LOT of money! Hence the above sentence, they probably won't.

[Ticky]

Another thing about the 150 up front is, what if I don't like the game? I just lost 150 bucks. If I pay to play it, I can cancel at anytime. But on the other hand, if I like it, I might play it for years. Also on the no credit card thing, when I played Everquest, they had pre-paid 90day cards in the stores. So if they do the same thing for PS, then you won't have to have a credit card.

I think the original question was...

Would you rather pay 150 dollars, and never ever have to pay to play again, or pay 50 dollars and pay per month?

Honestly? I doubt -any- MMOG that plans on actually being successful will do the 150 dollar thing. So it's a moot point.

those pre paid cards cost more at the end because its easier for you. since its easier for you tha means more money out of your teenage wallet... what about people with girlfriends ... errrrrrrrrr i rather spend money on her then a game! .... unless its like a really good game lol j/k
