Does anybody else put a dollar amount on their entertainment time? I've always felt movies set a good baseline at about $5/hour (I actually find doing anything else entertainment related for less is difficult). If I'm looking at a mobile game or a console game, I usually try to use it to justify game purchases or to find strong value. For instance, it's going to hurt to pay $70 for NHL in September, but at my rate for entertainment I only need about 14 hours of entertainment out of it. Considering I usually get about 50-75, it's not actually that bad of a deal.
From the sounds of it this MGS game wouldn't fall into my realm of affordable entertainment, but then again I'm not a MGS fan. I personally don't see a problem with things like this. It's a bone to throw the hardcores who want to pay for that experience. It's not essential to the series and nobody makes you play.
