Price it right - offer demo

Maybe if they priced their games at something more reasonable (I'm speaking as a Verizon Wireless user) they migth have more people bite. The games are ridiculously expensive and hardly ever have a reasonable demo available. Sorry, but I'm not paying $10,$15,or $20 or any amount of money for a game that I can't see or try first and I don't mean try for 3 minutes.

Would you buy from a download kiosk?

Would you buy from a digital download kiosk that would provide previews and actual game play without the data charges from most carriers? I have made a kiosk that allows you to see previews for games, movies, music videos, and much more of all types of content for mobile phones, PSP, Nintendo DS, IRiver, and what ever else electronic. Most of the reason the games are price the way they are is that they get 50% of gross so for a content owner to make any money after paying development and advertisement comes out to +$10.... So that is why I made Pop N' Go Media as another way to reach the direct consumer. I currently don't have any information about the machine on my site since I am awaiting the last of my patents and investors want to keep a low profile about it until we are ready to launch.
