Are games today really worth the asking price?

I love how people use Angry Birds as the epitome of what can be done for a buck.

I subscribe to "Apps Gone Free" and almost everything there is not worth the price that is charged on that day -- which is nothing. (For example, Angry Birds Seasons was included and my son's reaction was ''Delete it" -- and full Angry Birds is $3 on an iPad, BTW).

Games have a high price tag. But if you 9 hours of enjoyment out of a game, it is the equivalent of paying $10 for a 1-1/2 movie in a theater (in dollars spent per hour).

You don't even have to talk about concerts and sporting events with much higher price point tickets to demonstrate that games with high reply value are actually much better investments than other forms of entertainment.
