Alex Fiedler -> PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/27/2006 12:06:08 PM)

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!

Wow, I wish I would have waited a while now.

jzicc -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/27/2006 5:35:02 PM)
Booo! way to alienate those that just paid the full price --- Too much of a break too soon

rickm -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/27/2006 7:32:05 PM)
Cool! I can see why those who have purchased recently might be a little miffed, but hey, it's enough to get a fence-sitter like me to purchase. 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 want to say that I am proud to have supported Shaun by paying full price. I hope this sale will get others to try Pure Sim, and maybe by next year, they will feel the way many of us long-time PS fans do. Steve

rowech -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/27/2006 7:47:46 PM)
It has convinced me to buy too. Keep in mind though that the price is only for a short time and not for good. It's just a sale not a permanent reduction.

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.

XCom -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/27/2006 9:03:44 PM)
I think it is smart marketing considering where the competition stands right now and it being the height of baseball season. I don't mind having paid full price and if this helps to build the community then we will all be better for it!

johneh -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/27/2006 9:54:17 PM)
Well I've been thinking about getting this game in a couple months (after I finished a couple other games that I am already playing) but know I'm going to have to go ahead and jump on it.

Nomo Ootp -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/28/2006 12:32:18 AM)
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... nomo ootp aka sandman

As someone who bought the game less then 2 weeks ago, it is a bit upsetting, I would of had no problem waiting had I known this was comming.

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. [sm=00000622.gif] 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.

dnelms -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/28/2006 4:44:03 PM)
This is no different than going to the store, buying something you want (or need) and then the Sunday paper comes out with a "sharp reduction in price". IF you had just waited. 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.

risk_doc -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/28/2006 6:56:03 PM)
Even at full price, this game is a steal.[:)] I have had this game for two weeks now and I still can't put it down. I agree with the other posters that if a half-price sale brings some of the fence-sitters in, then it will benefit the entire Prosim community (particularly if we can get some programmer / utility whizzes to sign on since this game is very add-on friendly).

verizon32 -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/28/2006 6:57:00 PM)
But you can get an adjustment if an item goes on sale within 30 days in a store. quote: ORIGINAL: dnelms This is no different than going to the store, buying something you want (or need) and then the Sunday paper comes out with a "sharp reduction in price".

rowech -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/28/2006 9:52:16 PM)
Definitely not all stores

bigpapag -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/28/2006 11:49:34 PM)
Many states like NY,MA,MS and PA are a few of them that have the law that if an item goes on sale within 30 days in a store of purchase you can get an adjustment and the law goes for all retail places in these states. But what is worse is your wife finding out that the price was cut in half 2 weeks after she bought it. [&:] BIG PAPA GIL

akw4572 -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/30/2006 7:09:19 AM)
Is there a promo code? I just tried to order the digital download and it still said $29.99??

[&:] BIG PAPA GIL 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.

Rainbow7 -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/30/2006 7:29:14 AM)
Maybe by midnight Friday they actually meant tomorrow night.

jwarrenw13 -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/30/2006 6:48:29 PM)
I am going to buy the game while on sale. I was not going to buy it at full price. I have OOTP 6.5 and love that game and played a few seasons earlier this summer, and though Puresim looked great, too, I just didn't feel like paying the full price. 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?

verizon32 -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/30/2006 10:10:08 PM)
Midnight? Is that eastern time?

kmac -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (6/30/2006 11:09:09 PM)
Is this for digital download orders only? What about PC physical shipments?

KG Erwin -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (7/1/2006 12:28:12 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: verizon32 Midnight? Is that eastern time? Yeah, I'd think so, since Matrix is located in NYC.

purist -> RE: PureSim Baseball All-Star Break Special (7/1/2006 5:12:34 AM)
I too, will be jumping all over this great deal. [sm=Cool-049.gif]

Rainbow7 -> Rebate is up and running (7/1/2006 6:06:53 AM)
The rebate appears to have already been applied, and you can purchase the game at the lower cost now.

Erik Rutins -> RE: Rebate is up and running (7/1/2006 6:12:49 AM)
The All-Star Break Special pricing is now in effect! Regards, - Erik
