I'm on ebay looking for Dead Space and notice that it's much easier to find a deal on the PS3 version, like with several other games I've bought in the past. I'm actually kind of angry because I wanted the 360 one for the better triggers

Because the PS3 is arguably less popular, the PS3 version is cheaper because of the lower demand. However, in cases like Mirror's Edge, it's more expensive.

The 360 version tends to look better.

:lol: Yeah, in 2006 when devs were ill equipped for PS3 development. :lol:

Lower demand, lower price. More people own 360's.

Just depends on the game. I've seen plenty of PS3 games that were more expensive online than the 360 version.

Probably a demand issue. There are more 360s out there, after all. If they are older games they may also be of lesser quality, but I haven't noticed that being an issue in the last year or so.

Fallout 3,RE5 and Street fight all look and run better on the 360. If you need proof I can provide it.
