Thinking about my own recent expenditures:
Movie (Redwood City) - tickets $14, Popcorn+Drink - $8. + 15 minutes of commercial for 1:45 movie = $12/hour.
Dinner (at Flemings) - Entre $48, Drink $22, Salad $8, coffee $4, Dessert $7 - 2 Hours = $45/hour.
Video Game on my iOS Device - average $1.99, I've had some of them in constant rotation for 2+ years. Reasonably around 50 hours before I play them out Some only 20-30 hours, some 70 - though some (Field Runners, Slay, PvZ, MsPacMan, FlighControl, RopeNFly, Bloons, Galcon, Go) Have held my attention longer.. = $0.04/Hour.
I guess that's why I only go to Flemings once or twice a year, movies 8-10 times a year, and have spent $1000+ on the iTunes App Store in the last 4 years.
- corin_ 14y agoI'm sure I'm putting more thought into this than I should, but say $1000 in four years, that equates to one game every 3 days, so 50 hours per game would be pretty high.
- ghshephard 14y agoYes - I've conflated my AppStore Game purchasing with my App Store Total purchasing - I have a lot of purchases on my iPhone that aren't games. And, I don't get the same utility of, say, MotionXGPS, and GPSDrive, and Shazam as I do my games.
- GuiA 14y agoWell, you could save $8 on the movie by not buying popcorn/drinks, making the movie around ~$6-7 an hour, depending on where you go. (if you really need snacks, your girlfriend/wife's purse is perfect for that :) ) Not everyone can do it, but matinées are also great— you can see a movie for ~$5-6.
