If they sell the trilogy for a hundred bucks no one would buy it. The fan base knows that it isnt worth that much. 60 bucks is perfect as far as I know the trilogy is coming after ME3WiiU and the PS3 version even later still how about we compare the collection on the PS360 to the actual ME games that were RELEASED on PS360

Nah, on 360 the trilogy comes out November 7. Wii U is released Nov 18 (in the states), and ME3 isn't even one of its launch day titles.

You do know these games DID retail for full price when they first came out, its not like they are favoring the PS360 in that regard, but i do see and agree they shouldnt be charging 60 dollars for a late port of the game, but the funny thing is i could make the same argument for the PS3 version of ME2 and i didnt see that much outrage for that either. Its more EA being EA than any evil plot against Ninty.

It's a different situation. There wasn't a ME1 + ME2 bundle for 360 released before ME2 for PS3, for the same price. If there was no ME Trilogy coming out, the perceived value of ME3WiiU could still be $60. But by releasing the trilogy before it, EA is saying before it even comes out, "This game alone is no longer worth $60."

EA can charge whatever they want for their games. But it's absurd to think that releasing the trilogy weeks before ME3SE won't cripple its potential sales.

Why would it cripple its sales? If you were going to buy ME3 for Wii U I would have to assume that you dont have a PC PS3 or 360 to play the game, so it doesnt matter if those systems got a trilogy or not as you would not have been purchasing it anyway and if you have those systems my question would be why have you not bought it for either of those three? Why choose to pay more money if you dont have too? Which brings me to my next point, the game alone is not worth 60 bucks trilogy or not, as you can get it for three other platforms for half the price. As i said before ME3 on Wii U simply doesnt make alot of sense. THe release is wrong and the pricing is wrong. Maybe they think lighting will strike twice and it will sell more than a mil like the PS3 version of 2 did, alot of people thought that would flop as well
