Folks, allow me to explain something for a second.  The best pricing game of all time should have perfect mixture of luck and skill.  It should arouse excitement at every turn, and offer big prizes and suspenseful reveals.  

Punch a Bunch relies much too heavily on luck to be the best pricing game, and Drew does not build up the reveal at times as much as he could.  

Super Ball is, well, retired.  It also had very little in the way of pricing.  Pick between the two prices on the four SP's, and then perform an act of skill to win the prizes.

3 Strikes has the perfect combination of luck and skill, with the randomization of the numbers and the need to know the price of the car in order to win it sucessfully.  As a (former) member of the Big Three, you can't argue about this superpower being a fabulous pricing game.

In conclusion, you are all making a big mistake in voting 3 Strikes off the island.  Out of this list, it is the best pricing game.  Whether it is better then 5 Price Tags......

Punch a Bunch relies much too heavily on luck to be the best pricing game, and Drew does not build up the reveal at times as much as he could.  
Whatever Drew does to a game really doesn't affect whether I consider it a great game.  Also, sometimes luck does play a part in whether I think a pricing game is great.  Besides, there is some luck in 3 Strikes.
As for Super Ball, the idea of it being based on Skee-Ball made this game a very enjoyable pricing game to watch regardless of how much luck is involved.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

3 Strikes, you are tonight's strongest link and you leave with 3 points.  Punch-a-Bunch, you leave with nothing. 

Now, I guess for all intents and purposes this could be the last Price Survival Game ever, since all games were involved.  In that case, this is the end of this series, g'bye!

Champion : 3 Strikes--3

We've made the right choice in my mind, for reasons I've explained above.

Now, I guess for all intents and purposes this could be the last Price Survival Game ever, since all games were involved.  In that case, this is the end of this series, g'bye!

Next offseason there will be new board members, new pricing games, and probably a new winner.  No reason this should be the final answer (but it is for this season!)

I've thought about doing a NCAA type tournament with the games ranked as they finished in this poll (top 65 only).  I think with a different voting structure/head to head matchups we might have a different winner.  This thread, albeit entertaining, fun, and enjoyable, is unfortunately not a true sampling of the populus of TPIR fans.  There were weeks that I voted daily, and weeks I took off.  Hopefully a 1 on 1 tournament will garner more consistent voting.  Kudos to 3 strikes (+)
