OK, but I wish that you or someone else would enlighten me as to where they are coming from, because really I don't understand it at all, and to me it makes no sense. You're talking about the argument that "The only way to do this game right is for it to have hard copy manuals?"ORIGINAL: Aurelian
Making sense is subjective. I certainly see where they are coming from. So to me, it makes sense.
um ok. if you're saying that there was a valid economic reason for only giving customers choice of one color of car, it seems that here there is no such reason with these books,and Matrix itself said that it's margin is lower because of the books. maybe I don't understand what you're saying.ORIGINAL: Aurelian
The any color as long as it's black comment does not. We're not talking how Model Ts went from color choices to one because the black paint dried faster that say, Brewster green, (day and a half vs two weeks.) Nor are we talking about a car that at its height was produced at the rate of 1 every 10 seconds.
No one is complaining about buying a computer or anything else that you need to buy the game, like your CD or DVD drives. Specificially it is paying $$ for postage for stuff that you don't want or need which has people excited.ORIGINAL: Aurelian
And way back when, I had to buy a CD drive to play TIE Fighter. And a DVD drive for games that required one. So what? It's a hobby.)
For the record, I decided to buy the game by having the books sent to my parents in the US for $9, which is tolerable (but still irritating because there is no need for it).
