Are there any Coupom Codes?

[pschneid546]

Does anyone know of any codes available?

There's almost always a sale at the All-Star break.

But trust me, the game's well worth paying full price for.

[r0nster]

I agree whole heartedly with wolf on the point that this game is well worth it and its OK to be addicted to this game.

I don't drink or smoke, but I'm curious at how many beers, shots, glass of wine or pack of cigs = cost of OOTP?

Two movie tickets, popcorn and drink = OOTP for me.

Many complain about the price of OOTP but how much does it really cost compared to what we spend on everyday stuff. Plus OOTP value last a lot longer than the above stuff. To each their own, just looking at it from a different perspective.

like others said, OOTP is worth every penny every year!

Yeah, there is usually a sale at the all-star break. That is when I will probably get the new version. If the previews for the new version don't really impress me I usually wait.

Comparing apples and oranges.

Maybe it's easy for you to give up two movie tickets and popcorn and a drink so you can buy OOTP.

When you tell your girlfriend/spouse that you're buying OOTP instead of taking her to a movie I'm sure she feels it's worth it too.



Certainly OOTP is worth the price they charge for it - so are a lot of other things in life too, but priorities tend to have more importance toward a purchasing decision then comparisons. At least for me they do.

There's another perspective for you.

If she doesn't, then you've got the wrong spouse or girlfriend.

It's simple math: dozens and even hundreds of hours of entertainment for $40 vs. two hours of entertainment from a movie and snacks. If a spouse or significant other can't appreciate how this makes financial sense, then apparently that person is not good with money. And if that person can't respect and allow for a personal hobby or interest that he or she might not share, then you're not dealing with a reasonable person.

Besides, why should the sacrifice be one-way? Spending money on OOTP doesn't mean you can't take a wife or girlfriend to a movie as well. There are 12 months out of the year, and OOTP is only released in one of those months every year. So maybe she can bypass a movie and a night out in exchange for a once-annual purchase of OOTP, just as you might go to an occasional movie that doesn't interest you because she'd like to see it and have company.

If there's anything I've learned in life, it's that you should never waste your time settling for less than an ideal partner who is supportive and will not quibble over your personal interests and passions. There should be mutual respect, space, and support for what both people enjoy, even if the interest is not shared.

If you find yourself regularly battling a spouse or significant other over your passions or interests, get rid of that person. You're basically being asked to sacrifice your own happiness purely for someone else's sake rather than allow room for each person to be free and to pursue what is personally meaningful. There is a fundamental incompatibility when this occurs.

There are plenty of great people in this world, and no one should be having to struggle and fight their way through a relationship over such insignificant differences. It's really sad to see how many people subject themselves to that nonsense out of fear, routine, or low self-esteem when they could find someone with whom they can share a truly peaceful and cooperative relationship.

This is hilarious, thanks for the laugh.

I'm not sure comparing how the same $40 spent on two forms of entertainment is "apples to oranges", but I know my wife loves having me home spending hours looking at "numbers" rather than out running with the boys bar hopping (if that was my thing).

I posted this cause just last week in my online lg (BSA) we were discussing when to move to 14 and some complained about the cost of switching every version (which we don't) and a discussion pursued where most guys easily spent $40-$70 a weekend at the bar/club and if it was a really wild weekend the bar tabs reached upwards of $300!

my point being that OOTP isn't expensive when you look at the cost per hr of entertainment. Like other poster mention, a movie is $8-$21 (IMAX 3D) per ticket and is roughly 2 hrs of entertainment and that is not a guarantee of good enjoyable entertainment!

another way to look at is if you pre-order the game is $30 or $2.50 a month!

anyway, I don't think we are disagreeing on that OOTP is worth the price, just throwing out some different everyday perspectives.

Maybe there can be peace in the world after all.

Then again, maybe not. Lol.

[BURNS81]

I have been buying each version since 2004. Never regretted paying full price for it.
