As horrific as it sounds, it is also practically the same as Cory Doctrows novel The Magic Kingdom, in a utopian future beyond money where peoples status relies on points gained for citizenship and can be read just by shaking someones hand.

The optics of this approach look shit but there's clearly a logic behind it; a free for all would be full of time wasting toe-rags. Having said that; there are better ways to do this, especially given how good GAME's CRM data is; invite only sessions, raffle entries etc.

 

[Raven]

CRM data is utterly useless if you are incapable of using it properly.

Its not like VR is a gamer only thing, its something lots of people want to try, lots of different places have it on offer and certainly aren't charging people for the privilege of trying before they buy.

Game aren't relevant any more for software, they seem intent on doing the same for hardware. Completely failing to understand why they went under last time, in that the market has moved on and left them behind, again.

VR desperately needs consumers willing to buy into it, not just buying the hardware but wanting the hardware. Despite how promising it all is there isn't a great deal of hype about it. Charging people to try it is suicide.

GAME used to be able to use their CRM data extremely well; they built a very efficient business out of it. Then they went mad and bought GameStation.

(NB. I agree they're doomed anyway).

I have no idea what other retailers are doing to promote this (I'm not prepared to sign up at Sony's link; which is another egregious misuse of CRM) ; I would imagine the only other obvious places with the space and inclination to run demos would be Currys/PCW and maybe some department stores? Or are they going to run the demos themselves in shopping centres?

 

[Ormorof]

A half hour demo for a few quid would be worth it to try it out if you were really interested in buying especially if the cost of demo would be deductible from order

But they should have perhaps introduced this later with "free for two weeks start queing!"

It's actually fascinating when you go to Auschwitz and talk to the locals (I went with my Polish friend, so I had a pocket translator.) they really don't mind the Germans and their past mistakes, it's about looking towards the future, whilst not forgetting the past, and Germans go to Auschwitz in their droves in order to pay their respects.

However, Russians on the other hand, occupied Poland for years after the war and the Poles really do not like Russians at all as a result, and it shows you the people today that there are no Russians visiting Auschwitz (from a local taxi driver) but there's pretty much -every- other nationality there.

 

[Moriath]

Yeah there are still poles in siberia from the 50,s and 60's.

Russians were just as bad as the germans to the poles.

To be fair to the Russians; Auschwitz isn't that big a deal to them compared to what they suffered on their own territory. 20m dead from the Nazis and the same again (or more) from Stalin. Gives them a slightly different perspective.
