    I remember our meeting at CES. The demonstration looked really fun. I still don't care for the "buy the game and pay to play" business model common to the MMORPG genre, but I hope they do well with this title.

    I'm a fan of play and pay if you want more. I play D&D Online for that reason. I'll try out Lord of the Rings online for that reason. I will not be going back to WoW or trying Lego since I refuse to pay for something I may only play a few hours a month.

    One meal out or hundreds of hours of gaming with friends. Pretty easy to justify.

    Yep, I share Rob's opinion on value. $10 a month is exceptionally cheap entertainment, especially considering what other forms of entertainment cost. For that $10 you are getting potentially hundreds of hours of joy, delight, excitement, and fun; what does a movie cost? What does a case of Pepsi cost? What does cable TV cost?

    I agree that $10 (I thought it was $14.99 a month) is cheap but I may only use it for 3 or 4 hours a month. DDO is free... mostly. :-)

    Besides, 10 things at $10 may not seem like much but $100 a month DOES. Trust me, I've found that out the hard way. :(

    I agree that it's a great price, but with as little time as I have to play games (outside of the weekly TF2, it's practically zero), the model just doesn't work for me. If I were inclined to make time to play something in the genre, it would be LEGO Universe. As previously stated, the CES demo looked incredibly fun and reasonably grind-free.

    Considering most actual LEGO kits themselves cost more than $10 I'm impressed with that!

    Heck, its like $7 to get a kit with 2 lego men and a catapult... A castle costs $80 bucks!
