That's what the salesman tried to explain to me a few years back, but for some reason, I just couldn't wrap my mind around it.
See, the Blair Witch Trilogy of games were coming out (this was back when there was a Trilogy of movies planned too). Terrible games, but I was all up on that Shakey-Cam mess of a movie back then, so I got the games. Picked up the first one, then a few days later, went back for the second and third, which by that point were in a box-set.
But, I didn't need the first game, just the second and third, so, without a thought, picked up the two seperate games, and brought them to the counter where the teller spent 15 minutes trying to explain that since there was a special on the box set, it was cheaper than buying these games seperately.
Didn't get it for some time, though - for some reason, my mind had latched onto the idea that I only needed 2 and 3, and wouldn't let go. Needless to say, I ended up embarassed as hell, unable to think of anything to say other than "I'm a moron..."
(Doubly so now that everyone knows I was an incredible dope and had terrible taste in games )
