I guess that is like me - i am always amazed at hearing you guys spend like, $50, on a video game, because that seems pointless to me.

exactly. We bought these 6 months in advance and they're our gift for our 5th anniversary. - Diva Feb 4, 09:54
I try to make sure I'll be getting a proper entertainment value out of it. - Shaun Feb 4, 09:54 10

      - I just need to be able to justify an expense based on how I think. But people have a myriad of hobbies and what constitutes value. - Shaun Feb 4, 10:09
      - well, andie should not buy a video game then. -- nm - groiny Feb 4, 10:08 1
        
        right, but i don't think because *i* wouldn't get $50 worth of enjoyment from it, that no-one else could. -- nm - Andie Feb 4, 10:11
- since this is a once-in-a-lifetime game changer to me and my only opportunity to see the Original Cast it's just as valuable and - Diva Feb 4, 09:57 3

  - For sure. People value things differently, which is cool. I know you'll enjoy the hell out if it. - Shaun Feb 4, 10:00 1

for example, the hours I have spent playing Destiny makes 100 bucks seem like nothing. - groiny Feb 4, 09:53 5
- Pretty sure I'm at about $0.10/hour by now, maybe even lower. That *insane* value for the $. -- nm - Shaun Feb 4, 09:55
- sure. but it's all based on value to you. -- nm - Andie Feb 4, 09:55 3
  - at the end of the day, it is a 2 to 3 hour show. - groiny Feb 4, 09:58 2
    - it's not a movie. a movie will be the same no matter what i spend on it. a live show with the original cast is not something that can be recreated. - Andie Feb 4, 10:00
