Good or not this bundeling depending on the needs and desires of each person. Also the price is also very decisive against a person’s interest. thanks for your sharing… :)

Fascinating insight into the success of iTunes. The idea of customizing a commodity (weather it be music, servers, autombiles) has huge market appeal. Our company, which builds implantable medical devices has spent alot of efforts to create devices that are more customizable to the individual patient needs with overwhenming response. About the game, walk your talk and find a good Pats bar in Frisco (I used meetup.com to find the best damn Sox fans west of the Mississippi to watch games with here in Minneapolis) enjoy the game with your own blood rather than being heckeled by the 18-1 chants at Qualcomm, save the $$$ you would waste on tickets, gas and $12 beers and go get yourself a Jerod Mayo jersey.

Well absolutely – how else will the NFL pay ridiculous sums of money to people without charging JUST a little more – Take the latest Favre’s 20MIL offer the Pack is offering him to stay off the field?

Pretty wild how it goes, eh? ;)

Variations of the Chargers ticket thing having been going on for years. The first I remember of it was years ago when the Vikings bundled preseason games or crappy home games (can’t remember which) with the Packers game. Since then, I’ve seen it done by a handful of other teams with the Packers game.

Hmm, I’d probably ask those people who bought the DVD with extras if I could borrow it. I love Buffy extras, but I’d never pay that much for it.

They should learn from iTunes. I’m sure plenty of Buffy fans would pony up the $20 or whatever.

Sometimes bundeling is good, sometimes it is bad for the customer. It can be good for some customers and bad for others. It depends. If only wanted the Greatest Hits (good for me), if you wanted a remix only of one of the songs bad for you.

People seem to be really unhappy a plane ticket and checked baggage are no longer bundled

I wrote about the economics of bundeling on my econ blog last week.
