Monopoly's on Sale!

[ADDam]

Hey guys, I don't know if it was posted or not, but I just saw that Monopoly went on sale for $4.99. I went ahead and bought it, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet. I believe it was $9.99.

OT: Glad to see you're enjoying your iPhone all over again Adam

It was $7.99. I got it at $4.99. 6 months from now it will be $1.99.

When a app ain't doing well, the price drop. That could be 2 things:

1. The app is not worth it
2. The price is too high

I'll take a guess in this case: 2

You forgot #3. The developer wants to make money.

i think they make the price pretty steep in the beginning on purpose... For one when i see a 9.99 app i'm like OMG im not paying 10 bucks for some little game on my phone... then they drop the price to 5 bucks and im like awesome!!! but then if you think about it 5 bucks for a game on a phone is still a bit much but you think it's a great price since it dropped from 10 bucks... This is a very strategic way of selling their app... they get the suckers that pay 10 bucks and then they rake in more profit when they put their app on "sale"
dang i gotta get into making some apps lol..
no matter what... i'm still getting monopoly since its on "sale"

5 bucks isn't much for a game or other app - if it's worth it! Some developers really put all the best in their app, and we won't pay 5 bucks for it...

And what about the time for making these nice updates....not fixing errors...but new features...I'll going to pay them for this work..

I bought this when it came out and still play it all the time. The only thing I don't like is that the AI can be frustrating at times.

5 bucks for a game like this is WAY worth it.

Why? Think about this: Buy the "Official" Monopoly or similar Copyright ed game on WinMo or Palm... 15-20 bucks easily. Sale is 10 bucks.

I will give iPhone this - they have definitely kept game pricing down.
