The standard edition of Dead Space 2 for the PlayStation 3 comes with two full retail games on one Blu-ray disc: Dead Space 2 and the Move-compatible (not required) Dead Space: Extraction. GameSpot has admitted that the PlayStation 3 version of the game is the one to get. Which begs the question: Why is the Xbox 360 version at the full retail price? Shouldn't it be cheaper to compensate the lack of a full additional game? What are your thoughts on the matter?

Im not surprised in any shape or form, do not expect this to change unless economic theory is reversed and while I agree that its a boon I dont really see this being anything other then a crappy ace in the pocket card for the average one sided users on these boards.

Why 360 version of MoH full price?

Why is 360 version of ME2 full pr---never mind.

On topic though. Because Move is a Wii copycat? Makes sense to put in DS:E

My thought is that DSE in the PS3 version adds value to PS3 version, does not take away value from the 360 version. Why is DS2 on PS3 the same price?

I say the PS3's price should go up.

A mere $59.99 price tag does not adequately reflect everything you're getting.

Ask Sony and EA since they're the ones who struck that exclusive deal.

But you seem fine paying $60 for Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 when the PC and 360 versions and all the DLC are cheaper? Does not compute...

My hypocrisy sensor was beeping. I couldn't help it. :wink: Anyway, I'm not really interested in DS2 but if I were, I'd be getting the PS3 version...or maybe the PC version...I dunno.

Why was the PS3 version of Black Ops full price? its only the 2nd crappiest port ever, and not to mention the timed exclusive maps for the 360.

Why was the PS3 version of Bayonetta full price? its only the crappiest port ever.

Why is the PS3 version of Homefront gonna be full price? the 360 gets exclusive content.

Jesus!

the 360 community get one inferior version and they start moaning:lol:

The real question should be why are 360 games even on sale at full price since you have to pay an extra yearly fee of $60 to unlock the second half of the content on the disc?

I wouldnt be surprised if Sony and EA cut a deal where EA gets to keep a bigger slice of the pie for each sale of DS2 PS3. If that is the case then it is also in EA's best interest for people with both consoles to pick up the PS3 version. The additional sales for the PS3 version should make up for the slight loss on Sony's part while also being more profitable for EA. This of course is just speculation but I don't think EA is just doing this to be nice to PS3 owners while making some 360 owners feel left out.

Because you're paying for a full game at regular retail price. The fact that Sony and EA struck a deal to include some free content, in this case a full game, has nothing to do with Microsoft's pricing. In both cases we are paying for Dead Space 2, and in both cases we're getting the full version of it.

Same reason the PC version is full price? Why is Dead Space 2 not worth sixty dollars? Just because the 360 version doesn't come with Extraction doesn't mean Dead Space 2 itself is not an experience thats worth price of a standard game?

Actually, only the Limited Edition of the PS3 version of DS2 comes with Extraction, and the next batch of copies won't have it. Also, EA has a deal with Sony so they get more stuff.

It's a brand new console game that just released across all three platforms... why would it sell for less? The better question to ask is... WHY IS THE PC VERSION SIXTY DOLLARS INSTEAD OF FIFTY. /caps

wah? if Halo reach is all on 1 disc I'm pretty sure DS2 and DSE can fit on 2. I mean look at forza, they had 2 discs but the 2nd disc was near empty. I'm positive EA could've fit the game on the 2nd disc. Its not like DS2 is a 25 hour game with 2 hours worth of pre rendered cutscenes. I'm having a hard time believing it was because the 2nd disc didn't have enough room. the game is 12 hours tops how big is each chapter? 3/4 a gig? well thats great because DSE could fit in the 4.4 GB left over on the 2nd disc. (assuming the game is 12 chapters like th 1st). SONY MADE A DEAL with EA for DSE its not DVD being less. IDK, in the end I'm not getting noether version. I'll wait for a steam sale to thik about getting DS2.

Yeah, then it would be common sense to get the version that gives you 2 full retail games on one disc for the same price as the one that only gives you one retail game.
