A good album can also provide hundreds of hours of entertainment for $10.

However, not all games, music, or video provide 100s of hours of entertainment so I'm not sure I understand your generalization.

They specifically compared games to movies. If we're talking about theaters, then no individual purchase will ever provide hundreds of hours of entertainment. Even if we are talking about blu-ray/dvd/digital download, very few people are going to ever get hundreds of hours of entertainment out of any single movie.

Passive/supplemental entertainment maybe. Outside of a very small percentage of serious audiophiles, I don't know anyone listening to 1 album for hundreds of hours other than as background noise.

Crank it up to $25-30 (LP) and, if you're anything like me, you'll get those hundred hours for sure. :)
