		swores on July 6, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Pricing psychology - 33% more beats 33% off The editorialised title on HN is a bit ambiguous, it doesn't specify whether "beats" is for the shopper or the shop. As the article is written from the point of view of shoppers, I would say that 33% off beats 33% more.
