I heard on the radio that the latest title in the Grand Theft Auto franchise (GTA IV) was expected to sell 9 million copies. At $60 a pop, that’s a gross profit of $540 million bucks.
Apparently I went to college for the wrong things. Who could have predicted the value of majoring in stealing cars and assaulting prostitutes?
Has anybody reading this ever had to roll over their 401(k)? My company recently merged with another company, and the other company has 51% ownership, so we all have to change up our benefits.
Are there special things to watch out for? I’ll have to double check and I’ll let you know what I find out.
For Christmas, I received a very nice present in the form of a Ipod Touch (or Itouch, which kind of sounds creepy and lecherous to me). I recently received some Itunes gift cards, and so in the last few days, I have been looking around at and examining Itunes.
Most everything that has to do with music on there is pretty straightforward: you get one song for one dollar, or you can buy an album usually for around ten. However, the situation gets a little bit stickier when you start looking at movie/television shows. You can buy a movie for either $10 or $15, which seems a little pricy, or you can rent it for $3.99.
Why would you rent it for that price? Are they trying to power sell by setting the prices so near to each other? I really don’t understand. I mean, renting would have to be about $0.99 per movie before their model would be attractive to the consumer, in my opinion. What do you think?
