Or, if you want to stick with entertainment, compare it to movies. You may spend $10-15 on a ticket at a movie theater, which gives you 2 hours of entertainment. Whereas a game of that price should give you tens of hours of fun.

Or you spend these $10-15 on a month of Netflix or Amazon Instant Video, which gives you up to 720 hours entertainment per month.

But I agree, video games have also a great value.

Those are some expensive wings you had. I just bought a whole chicken for £5

Well they were delivered, and that price includes a $2 tip to the driver.

Nail on the head with good game = worth $60 and bad game =! $60, but restaurant food is generally bad value in most countries, so that example is so-so

Nothing comes even remotely close to music.

The wings have the higher value, because they sustain your life. Games and movies will do nothing of that sort, no matter how hard you try.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I must agree with you there! But let's not forget that games do also have music in them!
