Fair price for Akron/Kent DDR game

We, the undersigned, are young adults who enjoy playing the game Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). Its an engaging game with exercise benefits, which is important in this day and age when over two thirds of adult Americans are overweight. Several of us are students do not have a lot of money to spend, but yet we chose to spend our money on this game for all of its benefits and fun factor. The average player spends hours at the machine, several times a week, trying to improve.

As you know, you own and maintain such a machine at Kent State Universitys Eastway Center. We had grown accustom to a certain level of services provided for the money we spent on your DDR machine at Kent State. Now, after a year of a consistent price-per-number-of-songs, you changed the price to what is considered by all DDR players as unreasonable. There are several DDR machines in Northeast Ohio, which we can locate via ddrfreak.com. Even with driving and gas expenses, it is now cheaper for us to drive elsewhere and use the DDR machine there, than to use the one you own, at the new price setting. For example, there are two other machines within a half hour drive from Kent State with the price structure of: 4 songs for 75 cents, and one with 5 songs for 75 cents. To ask $1.00 for 3 songs is just not going to attract the players. The change would not incur any tangible cost to you. Each player would simply get another three minutes or so of play time. This is all we are asking.

Your DDR machine at the University of Akron is priced the same and the players there share our feelings and have decided to not use that machine until a more competitive price is set.

We enjoy the physical quality and upkeep of these machines, and it's very conveniently located for us, but we would rather continue to go elsewhere as long as we have to instead of paying this current price. You had told us the pricing of 50 cents for 3 songs was a mistake. However, even at that price we can go elsewhere for cheaper. And at $1.00 for 3 songs, we most assuredly will.

Please examine the competition prices for this game in the area and set the price accordingly if you wish the machine to make more money.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
