That price is certainly reasonable. I wouldn't blink at paying 1 USD for three hours of gameplay, given that a movie is 7-10 USD for two hours.

Here the cost is about USD2/hour.

That I wouldn't pay.

OTOH when I think about it, I probably burn 2 to 5 dollars a hour depending how well i am doing in an arcade on video games

I don't play arcade games.

They used to have cool arcade games, now they are all fighting and racing. Bland.

Still about only have of what you pay for a movie at a good theater*, using an average flim length of 2 hours.


* UA Pacific Place. Other ones aren't so good.

2 USD/hr would take a big chunk of money if I did it regularly - that's my metric. 1 USD/3 hr would not.

I think it would be fun for special events. For example on Battlefield 2, there is alot of teamwork involved, it would be a blast to have your friends there with you calling out targets.

Ever been to a LAN-party? It's cheaper and more fun
