TLHBO inside.

I don't like to use buzz words like TLHBO, but I really couldn't find any other title to describe the ownage here.

When asked by Newsweek's N'Gai Croal why Shadowrun on the Xbox 360 cost $10 more than the identical PC version, Microsoft Games Studios' corporate vice president could have simply said "because we can." (Remember, folks, before Gears of War, Microsoft was selling their first-party titles for the old standard of $49.99.).

Say something everyone didn't know and already debate to death?

Isn't that all we do in SW? 

And lems have been owned because... you're incapable of fully reading and then copying an editorial?

Congratulations.

The full article states that it's because it's the standard pricing... a standard pricing structure the PS3 also uses for multiplats.

So I guess cows have been owned about has hard?

Why would you encourage the continuation of this horrible practice, may I ask?

SHadowrun nor Gears of War are not 1st party titles- theyre exclusive games but not first party- MS does not own the company.

MS has not broken this rule yet. Forza 2 is the next 1st oarty game coming ouand it is suppose to be $50.

Atually yes, anyway third parties have the excuse that they have to pay for license fees, but first party? 

Uhhh... PS3 games are usually $60 too.

It doesnt matter. Console gamers seem to enjoy getting milked with their games.

At least PS3 games have the excuse that they are printed in a relative expensive new format. But this is one of the reasons why this Next-gen sucks.

All next gen games are 60.00 bucks. excluding the Wii.

But game prices have been increasing by 10 bucks every generation. I think 60 is the cap though.

Is this actually confirmed? this article has nothing to back it up and it seems somewhat misinformed- quoted "(Remember, folks, before Gears of War, Microsoft was selling their first-party titles for the old standard of $49.99.)" Gears of War was not first party. Seeing as how this is the only site that says this, i would not trust itEducated_Gamer

So, tEpic had to pay Licence fees? I don't think so. But anyway, the article is about Shadowrun, a first party game. 

PC Oblivion is 49.99 PS3 Onlivion is 59.99. By that logic TCHBO but no its not. You logic is a failure.ATLBIinger

Actually yes, why paying more for the inferior version? With PC you full price for the hardware,, but atleast the hardware is really yours :P .

Epic had to pay licenses fees to Sony, but yeas.  TCHBO. I have said it many times, the so called HD gen are just gimped PCs with subsided (inferior) hardware but overpriced games, accesories and services.

Ownage Approaved.

PC owns 360 in every way.
