Link (http://\"http://www.cbspressexpress.com/div.php/cbs_entertainment/release?id=17918\")
If the link doesn't work, here's the skinny (via Brandon Bridges at GR.net)
-No more bonus wheel spinning- however the stakes have been raised
-$1M is awarded if the contestant completes a DSW within $1,000.
-The Million dollar game will be announced prior to playing (probably when the contestant is on stage, after the prize is announced) However, to win the game, the game must be played PERFECTLY. Ie., only two numbers pulled in Money Game, only the car numbers lit up in Any Number, Only three chances used in 10 chances, etc...
I think this format is MUCH better than the bonus spin used at the end of the show, and light years better than the "draw a name out of a drum" idea used in one of the previous MDS'.
Thoughts? Comments?
-
On one hand, I like it a lot more than the old way with the bonus spin.
OTOH, if I see Double Prices or Most Expensive played for a mil, I'm going to be more than slightly dissapointed. Same goes for a rediculously easy showcase.
-
Okay. This I can roll with.
I said there should be no more "guaranteed spins," and I got that. The rest of the changes I can dig with...
...I just have one problem with the DSW window. Despite the showcases being of much larger value during the primetime shows, $1,000 is too large of a window in my honest opinion. For me, $500 would be the ideal range. Given the accuracy of bids in the previous 20 or so MDS, however, I can understand this logic.
As for the "Million Dollar Game," I think it would be fitting if it's played on a game where the chance of doing something to a tee is already rough as it is. Plinko is a prime example of this: if someone gets $50,000, the prize is bumped up to $1,000,000. If someone can pull the numbers on Three Strikes and put them in the right positions WITHOUT getting a strike, s/he wins $1,000,000. The concept works perfectly; just don't pitch any softballs (i.e. winning the car in the first two pulls on Money Game is a bit easier than what some circles think...)
Kudos to CBS for making the $1,000,000 spectacular work without changing the concept of TPIR.

But here you're talking about situations that fall into the category of Things That Will Not Happen. (I know no one's ever come close to winning Plinko absolutely perfectly, and if a player has ever managed it on Three Strikes, I'd be mightily impressed.)
There are certainly mid-range difficulty games that they could use. Ten Chances strikes me as an ideal choice, and many of the better car games wouldn't be bad. But a million dollar win has to at least seem plausible to people, which is why I thought the 'plus one' Big Wheel solution worked. The odds were never worse than one in twenty that somebody would win the million. What we don't know is whether TPTB want to make the million dollar win easier or harder at this point, but under this new plan they've given themselves more control over the odds.

I agree with what you're saying. I was speaking more in the relative sense...that being, there should be some challenge to winning the Million Dollar Game, instead of just attaching the cash prize to a game, something Matt the Weatherman implied:
OTOH, if I see Double Prices or Most Expensive played for a mil, I'm going to be more than slightly dissapointed.
The Three Chances Example works well...or (if I am wrong, please tell me so) getting all five cars on the first roll of Let 'Em Roll, aligning the right prices with the right prizes in Race Game. Again, these are just examples. Adding the challenge without changing the scope of the game would be the ideal way to go.

Of course, aside from the potential Showcase win of $1 million, this still leaves the possibility that the Showcase, which is supposed to be the climax of the show, could end up paling in comparison to someone's earlier $1 million win in a pricing game. The big winner of the night might not even end up in the Showcase. If it were up to me, I'd use the Showcase-bid-within-$1,000 as the only way someone could win the million. That way we have the biggest win at the end of the show (unless it's a double overbid, which ain't likely to happen) regardless of whether the big bucks are won, and a spectacularly big win if the winner also gets the million. Bring the family and friends onstage and drop the balloons and confetti. There's not even any need to stop tape for a cleanup since it's the end of the show anyway.

Yes, he was jesting. When he said "Given the accuracy...", what he literally meant was "Given the inaccuracy..." He was saying that since the MDS typically have really, really bad bids, offering a $1000 window rather than a $500 window makes more sense if they ever hope to have a winner, even though his preference would be a $500 window as a measure of skill.

Here's some other possible games you could feasibly make MDG's:
-Hole in One (get all the prices right, and make the putt the first time)
-Five Price Tags (four for four on the small prices plus correct car pick first time)
-Range Game (put a smaller range within the $150 range- maybe $5 either side of the center)
-Pathfinder (no mistakes)
It does seem like a lot of the car games are the ones more suited for a MDG possibility, doesn't it?
-
So, is the whole $1,000,000 bonus spin (in the showcase showdown) still in effect then?

No. As the original poster said, there is no more bonus wheel spinning. (Presumably that only refers to the Million Dollar Spin, and not to the bonus spin you get anyway - but for lower stakes - when you get $1.00.)
-
I sense a slight augmentation in the bonus spin prize (probably $10,000 for green and $25,000 for the dollar), but the Million Dollar Spins are effectively done.
As for games where $1,000,000 prizes are feasible:
Punch-a-Bunch: just slip one (and only one) $1,000,000 slip in the field of 50.
Card Game: Get within $100 of the actual retail price of the car without going over (a slight nod to older daytime showcase rules).
Temptation: Have the right price of the car without having to change digits.
Pocket Change: Get the price of the car while keeping the "pocket change" value at $0.25.
Switcheroo: Get all five prices right the FIRST time.
Let me stop before this gets too fun. :)

I see this thread taking a nosedive in a hurry.
-
I guess I'm no fun. I think it just should have been a primetime special...kick up the prize budget a little and have the wheel bonus be $100,000. No $1,000,000 special bonus or after-wheel "we guaranteed a million-dollar spin!!" spin. Just good 'ol TPIR with a little prize extra.
/it's starting to reek of a Million Dollar Mission.
-
The only thing that bugs me about this is that where before, each contestant who won his way on stage had a chance (albeit a very small one) to win the $1 million, now, only the contestant who was lucky enough to be on stage when the million dollar game is played (and the 2 showcase players) gets that chance. I was never wild about the million dollar spin idea before, but I'm not real wild about this either. Just make the budget bigger...

-
With the $1,000,000 no longer applying to the wheel on these specials, do you think the top prize for the Big Wheel will be lowered to $100,000 now (when the primetime specials came back in 2002, that's what the big cash prize was)?

An extraordinarily good point. Though it could be said that there are lots of other ways for the showcase to pale in comparison to earlier play. I win the Caddy on Golden Road, you take Plinko for a bundle, but neither of us spins luckily and the two schmos who beat us play to a double overbid...that's pretty anticlimactic.
By the way, the press release said it would be a classic pricing game, which seems to me to leave out "Let 'Em Roll" and "Pathfinder." But play Any Number and win the car without putting any digits in the piggy bank...can't get much more a classic game than that, or a much tougher twist.
Edited: Having just seen the "Insider" clips--and, yeah, why the hell redo the set again, particularly to something so similar to the daytime version?--I gotta think Clock Game is a strong candidate for the Big Honkin' Bonus Prize of Potential Anti-Climacticism. Win both prizes with, say, 10 seconds left on the clock, and win the mil?

I think they'll do just that, but without your 'ten second' rule. Win two prizes, win one million dollars, and watch golden-road.net explode.

I have a few Million Dollar Game Ideas:
Lucky $even: Guess all four digits in the car price exactly right (after the first one is given for free, of course).
Shell Game: After getting all four chips, pick the shell with the ball under it.
Pocket Change: Win without making a mistake pricing the car.

Here's a catch-all solution for the $1M Prize, if attached only to the showcases:
If a contestant wins & gets within $1000 of their showcase w/o going over --> DSW
If a contestant wins & gets within $500 of their showcase WGO --> DSW +$1M
IMHO, naming one regular pricing game as "The Million Dollar Game Of the Day" sounds a little desperate and "Million Dollar Plinko" is overkill.

I like the idea of a million dollar bonus as an extension of the double Showcase rule... but a problem with giving it for playing a regular game perfectly is that, as soon as you're *not* perfect (say, a prize out of order in Hole In One) you've basically lost, yet still have the rest of the game to play. It would effectively make the car a consolation prize.

The 1986 Specials and Armed Forces Salutes worked just fine without a string of zeroes attached. TPIR is still the happiest place on earth whether or not someone can vault to the top tax bracket on a fluke.

In the showcases, I'd say <$1000 = DSW. Then <$100 = Million. I mean, it should not be given away on every show. Make it reasonable, but harder.

Damn, that is pretty close to perfect. Still, no one's actually been perfect in hundreds of plays, meaning that as a Million Dollar Game would be a virtually guaranteed non-win.

If I got to come on down, my odds of having a shot at a million are so much better than the other 300 people who have to sit and watch. I'll take that anyday.
Besides, not everybody on the Price is Right can go up and play Plinko. Or a car game, at that. I'm sure college kids love it when they're playing Double Prices for an armoire and a Grandfather clock. Here's the way I see it: one person is going to get a fighting chance at the million before the wheel possibly puts two complete idiots in the showcase. Besides, it's an MDS. Regardless of whether you get to play a MDPG or not, you're gonna play for some really nice stuff.
Personally, I would have liked to see them use the Aussie Showcase round for the million (i.e. putting the prices of the showcase prizes from lowest to highest). But that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

While we're second-guessing, how about retaining the <$250 rule for the DSW, but give away the $1 million only if the showcase bid is exactly right, which has never happened, at least not on the CBS versions?

Literally thousands and thousands of episodes of TPIR over the years, and only once in their history has someone ever hit the showcase right on the nose. You honestly think that they'd award a million for quite possibly the hardest feat to accomplish in the show today? I bet it'd take another seven generations of hosts before that happened.

On the daytime version? No. There's been 5 DSW's (within $250) this season ALONE. They only updated the rule after no one doubled up in a whole season.
-
The problem with "perfect bid equals million bucks" is that the chances of it happening are in the tens of thousands to one, and when people find out that the million is nearly unclaimable, they'll feel cheated.
If there must be a million dollar prize attached, put it at the end of the show as a bonus spin for the showcase winner, if any. Keep the regular payouts for the wheel in the regular SCSD and everyone wins. The show builds to a natural climax and can't fall victim to a letdown in the fourth act.
(And back to Steve's earlier comment about the $100k bonus prize in the Armed Forces Specials, the show wasn't promoted as the $100,000 Price Is Right Armed Forces Spectacular. I wouldn't mind if they were to just say "Everybody! It's Price is Right in night time!" and let that be that. No huge prizes or slapped on themes. Just TPIR at night.

Anyway, in regards to the topic at hand, the concept of a million dollars is fine in and of itself, but it just has to be done right. I like this format better than the previous one, but it would be overkill if a cash prize is attached to something as menial as, say, Hi-Lo.

And at least on Comcast DVRs, the prime time shows have now been differentiated from the daytime shows as "Price is Right Million Dollar." That's the second equivalent of a TiVo "Season Pass" if you already had the daytime shows so set.

Tivos have always done that too. S'why I'm glad Brandon mentioned it, because I have to program it separately.
