MMDE Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yeah, when sales doesn't make sense... I will list in the currency of my country, but it's the comparison of the prices that matters here! 1 month - 22,50 NOK (at 10% off) 3 months - 44,10 NOK (at 10% off) 6 months - 41,00 NOK (at 50% off) Yes, of course a 6 months subscription cost you less than a 3 months subscription... Oh, and they got in-game currency packs you can purchase, and they make totally sense too... 7k - 36,90 NOK (10% off) 18k - 73,80 NOK (10% off) 40k - 64,50 NOK (50% off) Yes, of course 40k cost you less than 18k... Let's not forget that you must purchase heroes etc too. You'd think this game had a platinum, but nope, this is a PSN game, with a PSN game trophy list... Is this really something you will be playing over 6 months??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It's all about margin, what they can cut, and what long term gains can they get from a promotion. If you've been using something longer, you're more likely to keep using it. Reference: any habit. Lots of people would never go past the first promotions, but this makes them consider the better value of the most expensive being just a little bit more than they were going to spend with a whole lot more in return. A bit of psychology, which is what most marketing is. This sale makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Freaker Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 It actually makes a lot of sense. The same works for PS+ subscription or any other subscription. This way you have a longer comitment to the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way you have a longer comitment to the product. This is not how the PS+ subscription works. Please do show me where you can get a 6 months subscription for less than what a 3 months subscription cost. I've not multiplied the prices, the 6 month actually cost less than 3 months, which means it's more than twice as expensive. Had I taken into consideration how much 6 months would have cost if I bought 3 months: 44NOK*2 = 88NOK The 6 months cost 21NOK... Both are on sale at a discounted price btw. I'm like WTF, why would you go with the 3 months, when 6 months cost less, not just per month, but total. This would have been explainable had only the 6 months been on sale at a discounted price, but that's not the case, both are set down, and yet the 6 months are less than only going for the 3 months...

I didn't wish to state that one 6 month subscription was cheaper than one 3 month subscription. I clearly misread the topic since I was trying to state that one 6 month subscription is cheaper than two 3 month subscriptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clearly misread the topic since I was trying to state that one 6 month subscription is cheaper than two 3 month subscriptions Yeah, I kinda figured. Like, I get this pricing if it was like you thought or if it was just the case that the 6 months was on sale at a discounted price, but both 6 months and 3 months are discounted, and yet 6 months cost less than those 3 months alone. Sure this makes people more dedicated and they keep on playing etc, but why the 3 months more expensive at a discounted price. Is it to make people feel like they get a bargain???

Dragon-Archon Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Is it to make people feel like they get a bargain??? Yes, so people will think the 6 month supscription is cheaper and buy it. That way they'll probably play the game a lot longer and maybe buy even more stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
