Assuming fixed costs and considering electricity cost are negligible: 399 + 60 * 7 = 819 819 / 7 / 12 / 5 = 1.95 So, $1.95/hour to play ONLY The Show...and that number goes down the more hours you average per month. As far as entertainment dollars go, seems pretty cost effective.

Well put! and The Show is well worth every penny!!!

Crazy to some I'm sure, but it's simply that damn good.

Fair enough, and I agree, for any baseball SIM fan the show is worth every penny, I can play this game year around and never get bored with it.

After getting a 360 at launch, I held off on getting a PS3 at launch...till May when The Show 07 came out. I paid the $700 Canadian for one and got The Show for it...and since then not much else other than the yearly Show and a few exclusives. The 360 was my console of choice because of the much better online experience. I joke with my friends all the time that my ShowStation is pretty cool cuz it even plays BluRay movies.

That changed with this gen, I have a PS4 and yet to get an Xbox One but if I had gotten an XO, it would be for Titanfall and not much else. So yeah, it is crazy. But a lot of us do it. Like you said, The Show is actually that good.

Ps4 only cost 399 😊
