Disney Infinity = A Poor Kevin

Here's the big E3 trailer for Disney's latest scheme to fleece parents, Disney Infinity! I'll be honest, it looks pretty good. I know my son likes it because he watched it seven (SEVEN!) times last night. By the seventh time he was saying all the toys lines with them.

Like I said, it looks like a pretty cool game, right? Well it's not just a game it's a whole freaking toy system. I don't know if you're familiar with Skylanders but if you are you know they're a license to print money. They're basically toys that you buy that unlock/interact with more levels for the Skylanders video game. Meaning you buy the game then to keep playing you have to keep buying toys. It's such a great scam I'm surprised EA didn't think of it first. Well this Disney Infinity game is going to be just like that. You buy a starter kit for $79.99 and it comes with a couple toys and then to keep unlocking levels and characters you have to keep buying more toys.

When I have to declare bankruptcy Michael Scott style, you'll now know why.
