That figure must be something like how pricing works here:

$199.99

Though it is effectively $200, it's not really $200 - it's under $200. Or as my wife would say, "It only costs $100!". No, really, women are like that.

Its a cleaver ploi to make you think your not really paying like $200. Though what moron would think that, tax always finds a way to make the number ven worse.

One of my friends is like that, if some thing is .99 he rounds down, while me and most of my friends round up.

I think this one tops it all: if something is, say, $69.99 my cousin will say it's $60

Wow where the hell did your cousin get that logic ?!

I personally would like the whole deal with pennies to be nullified and just have thing at incruments of 5 cents, now wouldnt that make America a little better ?

Actually I read once that a Jewish business district in New York in the early 1900's started the whole .99 thing. Or something like that. I guess it took off! Usually the first number is the largest font (say, "5") and the .99 is smaller. So people see the 5 more than the 99. They think 5 when it's really 6. Pretty clever yet simple marketing.

Ever wonder why cans of soda aren't affected by inflation? They're still 50 cents just like when I was a kid. Maybe that's why they sell those $1.00 plastic bottles, cuz they're not making money off cans. Course I also read someplace a can these days uses something like 40% less aluminum than in the 80's. And obviously you're paying for the can not the stuff inside.

But all I drink is cans (of beer and soda) so I beating the system!

Anyway I think the PSP is gonna rock the farm. But it won't come out before MY PS2p does!

yeah! At least with a ps2p you don't have to rebuy all your favorite games!

yeah and you won't have to rebuy movies for your PSP, the PS2p can play DVDs!!!!!!!!!

Yep cant forget to add in Pi to find the U.S. dollar translation.

Was that a joke or not?

Post by **Sparkfist** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 2:57 pm

Dollars only go to the hundred, with how your spelling out the price it kind of looks like your used Pi to fine the number, all the way to the nearest hundred-billionth.
