madden 2010 walmart
I don’t understand this?

Okay… they are advertising this thing on ESPN that if you subscribe to sports illustrated for 2 years for $50 or something like that you get madden 2010 absolutely free…
how can they afford to give you 48 issues of sports illustrated and madden 2010… also that means it would be cheaper to buy SI and get the free game then just go buy the game…. so… $50 you get 48 issues of SI and madden 2010… or you could go to walmart and pay $60 for just the game. that just doesn’t make any sense to me at all.

It’s just a marketing promotion to increase sales because print is dying more and more everyday. They figure “if we get people to subscribe now, it’ll save us from going out of business”. Realistically about half of the people that order that deal won’t cancel their subscription on time and end up paying it for the next year or so. It’s evident our dependence on paper is at an all time low, between cell phones, E-mails, text messages, video chat, and sooo many other methods of paperless communication, paper will be useless in 2 years.
