No, by Kitler's logic, you'd get Resistance 2+Resistance 3 for $60 if you waited until ~6 months after Resistance 3 launched. If Mass Effect 1+2 comes out for PS3 in Summer/Holidays 2010 for $60, at that stage it will be about $60 for both games on 360 as well. The reason you paid more for it ($60 per game) is because you wanted it sooner, which you obviously have to pay more for. Otherwise, why not complain that ME is cheaper now than when it launched? The reason it is cheaper is because people sacrificed having it now in order to save money. That is what PS3 gamers would need to do.

Obviously the VGChartz world disagreees with me, but I'm stubborn, so...  By your logic above (which is what I meant in my post, you just stated it better), if Resistance 3 launches at %60, and I wait for it to drop to platinum price, I could get both for $60.  OK, I agree with that.

However would this be the case if ME2 if it were ported 6 months later to the PS3?  Basically the launch price of ME2 on the PS3 would be $40 and ME1 would be on sale for $20, right?

How much did Bioshock launch for at it's port?  I honestly don't remember.

I get what you're saying and I think that my thing with Resistance 2/3 was a tad...not unfair but unbalanced perhaps? That would, admittedly, be waiting for it while its on the same console.

As for Bioshock, I have no idea what it launched at, but I do think it launched at full price (although here in Ireland, the price of a next gen game had fallen from €65 to €50 or €55 by that stage). I'm not saying that we should expect ME/ME2 to release on PS3 (if it ever does) as a collection for the same price as one game. I'm just saying that people who bought it earlier shouldn't feel ripped off or exploited because of it. Sure, you might have paid double the price (if you bought both games at their launch dates), but it also means you've had the games for longer. Mass Effect you would have had for 2-3 years. $30 saving on that works out as $0.04 (approximation, $30.00/730 days) per day, which I think most would have been happy enough paying. Then ME2 would obviously end up at more like $0.10-$0.15 per day, although you could say that ME costs $20 and ME2 costs $40.

I'm not saying that EA should launch a collection, although I would love it if they did. What I am saying is just that you shouldn't feel exploited or ripped off. You're the lucky one who has gotten to play the game for years. We (as in, PS3 owners who can't play it) haven't had that chance.

 

Note: I own a 360 and Mass Effect just isn't really my type of game. I'm not really into RPGs. I just figured that any argument makes more sense if you're for it, as opposed to me saying something along the lines of "$60 for the collection would still be a rip-off, cause I think the game is bollox".
