How much would you pay for a demo of Brawl?

[HeroXL]

Say the demo for ssbb was being sold at some ridiculous price. How high would it have to be before you draw the line?

 

[Withouthatred]

$20, that's it.

 

[Ban Heim]

Well, finding out that I have $1,100 today, I'd probably dish out a good $100.

Oh, and my soul.

 

[Ch-Akruru]

I would just wait for the real thing

 

[Johnknight1]

My sister, my brother, my peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and all my dvd players (I have a PS2, so I don't need them).

I'd pay a lot!

 

[SolidSonic]

I'd pay ten bucks.

And I would have sects with no one in particular for it.

 

[_Phloat_]

35$

Something to do in between melee matches, and the real game will be out soon enough.. But it IS brawl, cmon.

 

[vesperview]

It would have to be included as an extra in another game, like Mario Galaxy as an extra disc otherwise I wouldn't pay anything for it.

 

[Fanewgie]

I'd do 20. Anything higher and I'd just be happy waiting for the full game. I actually do have other things to do to pass the time with until then.

 

[HeroXL]

I figured it was 50$ for a reservation at E for All, so at least that much?

 

[Deleted member]

About 10 dorra.

 

[Rex+]

It's only a demo, so I'd shell out ten bucks, max. I can wait.

 

[M3tr01D]

$35 is as high as I'd go.

 

[Dacvak]

If I got it RIGHT NOW, I'd buy it for $150. Any time between E for All and December, I'd pay $100. After January 1st, I'd pay $50.

If my GameStop gets the demo in, I'm going to steal it. End of story.

[Sprigginz_Caldo]

eh, $30- 35 would be my max. Sadly, I'm not made of money...

 

[MARK YEE O SAV]

$5-I'm not rich, man!

 

[SolidSonic]

Anyone who states over 20 dollars, is just talking about spending their parents money.

 

[spikehappy07]

If I went to a hospital and they were asking for people to donate blood in exchange for a demo, I'd give up a gallon-yeah, that much...

 

[Bendu]

QFT.

I'd pay like 5-10 dollars considering that paying anything for a demo is ridiculous in itself. Demo implies promotional, thereby implying free.

But, I kind of impulsively buy things every once in a while and spend more money than I should, so who knows.

I can already play the conversation in my mind...

"Mommy, can I borrow $50?"
"For what?"
"A game demo. The full version comes out in February."
"Oh, you can wait."

Classic.

Not really buddy.. If you think about it, I would just have to make some small saves for a little, its not THAT much money, although I would need to see it first...

 

[kaibyaku]

$5, we're going to find out enough about the game soon anyway. I can wait.

 

[Bendu]

Wait until you get to college/live on your own. When you have to start budgeting yourself on everything (until you have to supply yourself with food, I don't think anybody really understands money), then you'll understand what he really means.

 

[tennisthehilife]

Depends on how much stuff is in the demo, but just basic free for all with 10 characters: $7 (between $5-$10)

 

[I_R_Hungry]

Zero dollars

sorry guys, phoenix wright, AWDS2, Fire Emblem DS, Fire Emblem 10, Battalion Wars, SMG, etc etc etc are a bit too much to pass up for a dinky demo of a game I'd be able to experience in full by just waiting a few months.

 

[Johnknight1]

If I got it RIGHT NOW, I'd buy it for $150. Any time between E for All and December, I'd pay $100. After January 1st, I'd pay $50.

~Dac

Same here. Hopefully that GameStop rumor is true, though 99.9% of the Brawl rumors have been proven wrong. The .1% was Peach was playable after her Subspace Emissary apperance, the Brawl demo character select screen, etc. Still, Nintendo should release a demo of some sort, definitely!

I kinda do...

What i mean is I would pay that much if the demo was most of the real game, not in the state it was in now....

Meh, I've always had the fortune of finding really good jobs, I guess there are some aspects I don't really understand.

 

[PukeTShirt]

$9.48. That Is My Limit!!!

 

[SSoH]

0$

I'd rather not tease myself and just wait for the real thing.

That and one of my friends would probably get it anyways, so I'd just be at their house.

Or they aren't a kid/lazy bum like you and actually work and have money?

I can already play the conversation in my mind...

Classic.

Wait...is this supposed to be some sort of joke? I don't get it. What's "classic" about this?

 

[I_R_Hungry]

you do realize that successful people

don't

spend unnecessary amounts of money on demos of video games that are soon to be released

 

[Ban Heim]

Great example. Successful people also don't buy video games. Donald Trump doesn't play games. Warren Buffett doesn't play video games.

We're not talking about "successful" people. We're talking about regular high school/college students with a job and with a minimal amount of bills. I'm 20, I go to college full time, and I only work Saturdays and Sundays. I make around 800-900 a month before taxes just working two days a week and even though I'm putting myself through college (and I commute so that means an extra $130 a month for that), paying my own loans, phone bills, gym membership, and who knows what else, I can afford to dish out over $20 for a demo. And hell, I pay more for **** each month than the average student does. The fact that most people here are only high school students means they also have to pay for less and can work more, which means more money for them.

Here's how I read SolidSonic's comment: "my mommy won't give me over $20 for a game so I'm going to make fun of people with money." Either he isn't old enough to have a job and has to rely on mommy and daddy and his allowance isn't big enough (boo hoo!), or he is over 16 but is too lazy and doesn't have a job.

 

[silver777]

only if it was included with another game. (aka. Super Mario Galaxy)

 

[Rx-]

My friends and I have discussed this. I'd honestly pay $100 right now as long as I got to keep it. I've got alot of things I want to try out.

 

[Croco]

I'd pay 50 bucks for it.
I'm crazy like that.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Nothing.

I'll be glad to steal it from you though.

 

[Katy Parry]

I'd give them Johnknight1.

 

[LuigiTheButcher]

Id pay about 30 bucks, but I'd charge people who don't have it to play...yah I am an ***...>.>

 

[blayde_axel]

Hmm... 50? No, not seriously. Maybe 20. But hopefully, it'll be bundled with some other game. We've heard the examples before.

 

[dragon duce]

5 buckaroos, why would i pay a lot for something I'll replace.
