Status: offline 		Matrix Games and PureSim Baseball are happy to announce the PureSim Baseball 2007 All-Star break special, for a limited time, cutting its price in half to $14.95 for digital download orders. This ‘All-Star Break Special,’ in recognition of the upcoming three-day event in July, will give customers the opportunity to save on the most unique and enjoyable baseball simulation ever created.

“The All-Star break is a big deal,” said David Heath of Matrix Games. “We want to observe this important event in America’s Pastime by offering this special and giving everyone a chance to see why PureSim Baseball is truly hitting the ball out of the park with this game.”

The All-Star Break Deal will be in effect from midnight on Friday, June 30, 2006 through 11:59 p.m. on Friday, July 14, 2006. Baseball is a legendary part of American history; now here is your chance to create your own teams, legends, and diamond dynasties, or play any historic period from 1900 to 2005!

One question: Why wait until June 30 to start the special? Now, it won't matter to me - I'll be buying within 24 hours or so after the special starts anyway. But, why not strike while the iron is hot and get my money now before I have a chance to change my mind? Also, I can't imagine you'll get any new sales between today and June 30 since we'll be waiting for the special to kick in. If you're going to offer the special at all, I'd recommed just going ahead and making it effective immedaitely.

Anyway, I look forward to giving the game a try.

Thanks.

I fully agree with you, Steve. I didn't think twice about buying both the pre-Matrix PS 2005 and the Matrix edition PS 2007 at full price. If a temporary price reduction helps convince "fence-sitters" to make the purchase, I have no problem with it.

I also encourage new buyers to immediately download the 1.18 beta patch -- it's a solid release.

Status: offline 		I just downloaded the demo..... overall I am happy with it.  I played the earlier version of PS but was not happy with the sim speed.  Now it is not as fast as OOTP but I have found that overall the game has been improved greatly over the last few years.....  Consider me a new fan of the game and I will order it as soon as the special starts.... I still plan on playing OOTP 6.51 as well as this game, but I don't plan on getting into the OOTP2006 craze.  I want to play a league - not a damn universe... PS does what I want and appears to do it well.  

Sorry about the long message, it is just that I am surprised to see the advancements in the PS series and I look forward to contributing to this board...

Matt, I understand, but none of us knew. I feel positive about it, as it should give Pure Sim a jump-start and get more fans onboard the forums. Fresh opinions and new blood is always good --it gives the vets something to feed from.

PS just kidding, man. I believe in this game, its developer, and the great community we have. All we wanna do is spread the word --something special is happening here.

Thing is, sales are put on to help sales and in this case get the base of fans (and users) stronger. I've been at this with PureSim since the Alpha days. The cost of it full price is still the equivalent of saving a few bucks on your lunches for one week. The enjoyment is so worth it. Rather than worry about what you missed, try convincing some fence sitters that now is the time to give PureSim a try.

Not ALL stores have that, at least not in North Carolina. In fact very few. Either way, it's still a bargain at the full price.

In New York they do, but then again, we can be a bit more "difficult"

But what is worse is your wife finding out that the price was cut in half 2 weeks after she bought it.

I dont think there is a law that says they have to give you a price adjustment. It just depends on the store's return policy. If they have a 30 day return policy, then they give you the adjustment if it goes on sale within 30 days. Otherwise you could just return the item, get a refund, and repurchase it at the discount price.

Must be so, I would think "midnight" friday would be about 1/2 hour ago. I guess not. I was gonna run a test sim tonight.

As for being upset about the sale, I cannot even recall all the times I've bought an item and then found it was on sale. This happens all the time in the physical world, so why not in the cyber world?

Yeah, I'd think so, since Matrix is located in NYC.
