I once flew from Sydney to Abu Dhabi and spent the entire eight hours playing Tetris.
We're disagreeing on the fundamentals here. Reusing a purchase DOES equate to better value.
If I spend £20 on a Toasty Maker and use it once, I'm not getting good value for money. If I use that Toasty Maker 1,000 times, I'm getting considerably better value for money. That should be simple for anybody to understand. The same logic CAN be applied to a game.
[quote]The DLC is asking for £20 (or £35 for a season pass). This is more expensive than the US Price. Does that mean that the DLC is better in the US because the £/$:hour ratio is significantly lower (about 1.6:1 UK/US)? No. Of course not.[/quote]
No, you're quite right, it doesn't. The fact that there is a variation in price doesn't make for a fair comparison. If for some odd reason an £:hour ratio became the norm in benchmarking the quality of a game then you'd need some way to compensate for currency exchange rates.
The whole area of value for money is completely subjective anyway, so there's no hard and fast rule to follow. I think it fairly logical though to accept the fact that I've had more value for money from Skyrim (500 or so hours) than say, Destiny (140 ish hours), as they both the cost the same amount of money.
