I completely dissagree that the retail price of a MMO should include 3-6 months of play. Any consol RPG you buy will give you between 20-80 hours of gameplay. Even if you are a casual player and log just 2 hrs a night 5 days a week, thatâ€™s 40hours in your 1st month. With your average consol game, you’ve pretty much finished it by that time and now need to dish out another $40-$50 for a new game. On the other hand, with a MMO, the 1st month is usually free and now you will only have to dish out $15 and you should still have a ton more to explore. If you play more than a casual gamer, even a hard-core gamer, you will burn through those consol games in a few days, but you should definitly be able to play the MMO non-stop and still have more stuff to do by the time you gotta start paying monthly. For the money, a good MMO provides far more value than any consol game could ever hope to do.

You make a good point here and I think the same thing should apply to game consoles. If your buying a $169 X Box you should get free credits to play online. Or even the X Box 360. I am not sure but I don’t think that my ex was offered any such incentive to hook into the internet right away when he took his system out of the box.
