[Spoiler] NEW PRICING GAME speculation Thread

[jaydlewis]

Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have ourselves a true quickie GP game. Three quick plugs for the GPs, and then Drew bestows some sort of voucher - be it physical or metaphorical - to the contestant. She then has to pick which row she can afford with her money (i.e.: the least expensive). Push the button, and you win or lose. I love it. It evokes Credit Card without all the delay.

You're speculating.

There's (at least) one Beverage missing, one Candy missing and one French Fries missing. The monitors are displaying how many are left in each row. If she's meant to pick an entire row, they'd be spaced far more evenly.

Looks snazzy! Can't wait to see it tomorrow.

But picking a combination of the three all at once would kinda be like Grocery...

I suspect that's for the sake of the plugs. When they're describing the candy, they only want to have one bag of candy in the shot.


This is the only time that I haven't seen any chocks on a set piece on the shiny-floor turntable. Does that mean the Vend-O-Price board isn't on wheels? If so, I wonder how difficult it would be to lift it into position.

The official Price YouTube channel posted a video of Vend-O-Price, from tomorrow's show. It looks like a very interesting game.

- Insert coin that Drew gives contestant
- Slider (like One Away) moves to the right, revealing a number of each item
- Contestant must guess what row is the most expensive and pull a lever (individual item price multiplied by the quantity in the row)
- Individual price is shown, multiplied by the quantity
- If the contestant is correct, they win the prize package

Grocery Game meets Most Expensive. And they brought back the Penny Ante sound effect. This is going to be a great game.

Three wrong selections. It is possible to choose incorrectly twice, then choose correctly twice, thereby making four selections.

Gah, I can't believe I forgot about the correct guess counting as #4.

This video is private.

Oh well. I'm excited to see how it plays, but I can certainly wait.

Never thought of that. I guess I figured it'd be easier to have the items via still-store and animate through them.

Doesn't look "tidy" though...

Okay, "most" instead of "least", but ... if you're feeling like a pimp, go and brush your shoulders off.

I love how the SFX for the game is the classic SFX from Penny Ante.

The best way I can describe my feelings about this, is that it's the game I never knew I wanted.  I love the fact its a GP quickie, I love the multiplication aspect, and biggest of all, this game using the Penny Ante sound effects and Credit Card-esque decision  has quelled my desire to see those games returned.  Kudos to all involved!
