So basically you buy them used, months after they've been released? Even so, the PC version will still be significantly cheaper.
The last multi-platform game I bought for the PC-
Fallout 3- currently £24.99 on the 360 and £12.99 on the PC new, with a similar differential between used copies. At the current rate of exchange, the difference between the new versions- £12- is just over $20. Plus you get a version that can already has hundreds of mods available for it.
The next multi-platform game I'll buy for the PC- £37.96 on the 360 and, surprise surprise, £24.99 on the PC. Again, over $20 difference between the two and again, you'll be getting a moddable, tweakable version with extra longevity.
BTW, if you have an OEM license for Windows, then you can reuse it on your new PC- just ring up and ask for it to be reactivated. As long as you're not using it on your original PC as well, you're fine. And yes, everyone who has a PC will also have a mouse and keyboard, it'd be pretty difficult to use one without. If it's your first PC, add £20 extra onto the prices above. Are HDTV's free, by the way? As I never seem to see the cost of them factored into the cost of owning a console, and it'd be pretty pointless to use an HD console without one.
