| RaptorChrist said: So yeah, you're paying $70 for cardboard... But can't you say the same about all videogames; just swap out cardboard for plastic (the disc). Not saying your points aren't valid, but it's just been bugging me a bit to see people not make that connection. I haven't bought Labo yet, and I may never (at the price it's currently at). I'd love to get it and put it together with my daughter, but it doesn't look like these are things meant to be taken apart, and I have little room to store extra boxes, so it would likely get thrown away. Can't imagine people wanting to buy a used Labo kit, but who knows... |
I would say that beside people being used to pay 60usd for a game and knowing that the development cost for some games are several million and sometimes hundred millions for games they enjoy for a long time (both play time and that the cartridge or disc keep working for a very long time), they don't really see that same value/cost/durability in a cardboard box that they have seem cardboard for a long time costing pennies.
