| Mudface said: 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 $20 difference between the two and again, you'll be getting a moddable, tweakable version with extra longevity. BTW, if you have an OEM license for Windows, then you can reuse it on your new PC- just ring up and ask for it to be reactivated. As long as you're not using it on your original PC as well, you're fine. And yes, everyone who has a PC will also have a mouse and keyboard, it'd be pretty difficult to use one without. If it's your first PC, add £20 extra onto the prices above. Are HDTV's free, by the way? As I never seem to see the cost of them factored into the cost of owning a console, and it'd be pretty pointless to use an HD console without one. |
No, I buy them new and usually few months after they have been released.
For me last PC/360 game I bought was Last Remnant for 11,73£. Cheapest pc version now is 15,73£ and 360 version 14,95£. That is not 20$ cheaper. We can keep going cherrypicking examples if you wish.
Everyone has a keyboard and a mouse? No. Guess how many people own only a laptop. Or do you plan to rip your touchpad and kb out of laptop and use it on your pc? Why aren't those HDTV's factored in pc costs? They aren't free. Of course you don't necessary need one, you can use a monitor. That must be free I guess and of course, you can't use that monitor with your 360.
20£ gaming mouse and a keyboard. Sure thing mate. I am using a cheap gaming mouse MX518 and it was more like 40£ than 20£.
