STOP SAYING EXPANSIVE. Please say expensive, it's driving me insane. 
As for the price argument, I still think $15 is a lot of money to spend on an arcade game, hell, I spent $13 to get Bayonetta. As I've said everywhere else about Limbo, I'll buy it once the price drops.

I don't see how price makes a game expansive. It is what it is. Games don't expand once they go gold. It's not like Limbo would increase -- expand -- exponentially in length if it was $150 instead of $15.

Hey, we needed another one of these threads!

If you are unwilling to spend $15 on what might become the best 4 hours of your gaming month, then you're an idiot, plain and simple.

For me it was well worth 1200 points. I've played it more than any other game this week, I think. (excluding Dragon Quest IX)

" And I'm not paying $15 for Limbo. If it was $5, or maybe even $10, but there's just something about that over-$10 price that's stopping me.  "

" Boiling it down to dollars vs hours just feels wrong to me. "

Eh... the visuals rivaled top tier flash games and never struck me as a game a person will replay multiple times unless one's an achievement hunter. Tough sell when I've been looking on eBay at discount retail games of which I can resell myself so instead of plugging my ears at all Limbo talk in podcasts until there was a fair price in a promotion, I just decided to watch online videos of a playthrough completed in exactly an hour. To be fair, I am one cheap mother... digital distribution might end gaming for me.

My opinion is that since there is no real value in it after you've finished, that it seems like a waste of your money. It took me around 2 and a half hours to finish, including the achievements (not the less than 5 deaths). Am I going to play it again? Probably not. I like puzzles and stuff, but I don't want to sit here and say, "Wow, that chapter was awesome. Let me play it again!" It's not going to happen. For me, it felt like is was missing something. Maybe since the story becomes more dilluted once you pass the forest section. I wish I could pinpoint what it was missing, but I can't. I just have that feeling. Now do I think it was worth $15? Possibly, only because it's an arcade game. I just wish I had spent the $15 elsewhere.

I'm not gonna get into too expensive or how amazing or not amazing the story and gameplay was. I'll just say that after finishing it I deeply regretted spending my money on it. I enjoyed it, but not as much as the majority seems to have.

I've read books that were more expensive and enjoyed the hell out of them and they took me around 4 hours to finish, I just split it up over a while.  
 
I think arguing X amount of money for X amount of hours is just a bad way to cheat yourself out of a great game experience.
