Cost Per Hour Calculator
What an hour of a game actually costs, from its real price and its real length.
Enter a price and a playtime, or pick a game, to see what an hour of it actually costs. For reference, a cinema ticket works out at roughly $5 to $6 an hour, so a game under $1.50 an hour is cheaper entertainment than almost anything else you can buy.
