If this is the man you are referring to, you are spelling his name incorrectly. I'm just completely lost by this series of comments though because I would more assosiciate Seinfeld with jokes which start with "What's the deal with X, don't you hate how they always try to get you to Y their Zs? I mean, what's up with that?" not % based humour, perhaps there is a maths based comedian named Seinfield who I've not heard of, if that is the case then I would love to check him out. Sounds fantastic!

I feel as though this has taken a very strange and turn for whatever reason.

Certainly some of his stuff, would starts with things like "what's the deal" or something around those lines. That being said its a bit one dimensional for Seinfeld to simply do that. I think its just the nature of the reception people had. In any case, one thing he also did on occasian, was talk about how manipulative certain companies could be. Now I'm not sure if your intention with your original post was to cite their manipulative motive behind giving people a price cut because there is a higher chance they would purchase the at a reduced price than buy it a full price, but that is certainly what I got from it. The percent itself is immaterial to the whole thing, because in general I can imagine making a point like that in his routine. Whether he specifically uses percents or not did not even cross my mind aside from when I made my first post, which was more about the delivery.

Lower it another 67% and people might actually get it

Thread title updated.

Thanks. 

BF1 is the last EA game I bought at full price and before that it was Battlefront. Before that was probably BF4 and Fifa 15. Anyway the point is I don't buy a lot of EA games full price anymore and don't see myself doing it again. Battlefront 2 is out this November but about 2 weeks after launch it will be on sale for $40. I'm not complaining but if they added a pre order discount like this to titles I'd wait for the first sale, I'd probably pre order instead. Nice to see it though. Gaming has never been so affordable.

Now I'm not sure if you were trying to be funny, but this was downright hilarious. I just reread it in Seinfield's voice.

Didn't know there was much Math and percent based humour in Seinfeld (who I'm guessing you are talking about?) No point of that post is meant to be funny it's based on math, which is rarely funny.

If you do find numbers to be funny though could I suggest pressing the windows key and typing "Calc" you'll find hours of fun.

Numbers can be funny sometimes.Did you know NBA live 16 sold only 8000 copies in it's launch month? To put things into perspective, NBA 2k sold one million in the same time frame and NBA live still haven't passed half a million according to Vgchartz.

Ok, that might not be haha funny but did you know that EA's Mass Effect Andromeda cost about 40m and 5 years to make? I don't know about you but I find these numbers really hilarious.

I guess lets be honest who hasn't typed 58008 into a calculator at some time in their life and been blown away by the hidden message when you turn it up side down?
