[QUOTE="GPAddict"][QUOTE="DataDream"]I just had to vent. I own a 360 and a PS3 - so when a game comes out for both systems I usually get it for the PS3. That way I feel justified in my console purchase.

i feel that the extra 10 bucks is due to the higher cost of blu ray disk? sounds logical to me =x
What exactly do you mean by that last sentence??
To me, the advantage of having 2 consoles would be such a possibilty as the game being cheaper on the other console. I mean if the game is cheaper on the 360, its a no brainer, I'm getting it for the 360.
FWIW, I love PC gaming, PS3 gaming, and xbox 360 the same, but honestly I still have a soft spot for PC gaming since it is the platform I started on.
Well getting a game cheaper on one or the other of the consoles wasn't my reasoning at all. Here's the thing if the PS3 price was the normal price and the 360 price was $10 cheaper - I wouldn't like it but no big deal. But to actually have the 360 at the normal price and then add $10 to the PS3 version just doesn't seem right to me.
What I meant by my last sentance was that while I am very happy to own both consoles - as of now there's not many games for the PS3 and the ones I do have are on both platforms. As I am not a racing game or sports fan - the only exclusive game as of now that I have is RFOM. So my point was that when games are out for both platforms for the same price I will usually get the PS3 version - just because my library of 360 games is HUGE and I only have a couple of PS3 games. So it is just a little lop sided right now and I want to feed my PS3 more!!!
But when they raise the price of the PS3 game by $10 - as you said it's a no brainer to go with the cheaper one which is the 360 version. But that doesn't add to my PS3 collection of games. If all games went this route (and I pray to God that's not going to be the case) - then it would not bode well at all for the PS3 if their games were always more expensive than the 360. And trust me I want to see the PS3 succeed as bad as any other PS3 owner.
I just think that in every situation that the same game that is released cross platform on the 360 and the PS3 should be priced the same for both consoles.
hmm i think the extra 10 bucks is due to the cost of blu ray disk which i think should be much more ex than the HD dvd?
