To add to this, the cost is not only reasonable, but the entertainment cost of even "premium" priced games like FM is pennies compared to most other entertainment options out there.
You pay $40 for OOTP, and you will probably get hundreds of hours of entertainment out of it. If you get 100 hours, then your entertainment cost per hour is $0.40. Compare that to a movie, at least in the U.S. Even if you go solo, you're probably spending at least $10 on the ticket, plus $10 on food, for two hours. That's an entertainment cost of $10/hour. Hell, even if you decide you don't like OOTP after a mere five hours, that's still only $8/hour - less than the movie. And frankly, if you have other people in your house, they could also enjoy OOTP, making it an even more valuable expenditure.
On top of that, with EA Sports you're supporting an independent developer, not some giant conglomerate like EA sports.
Just my two cents, though!
