Forums - PC - L4D2 is $20 cheaper on PC than 360

That's because you can steal it much easier. That cheaper price is called an "inventive."

Also, you can't lend it, sell it, trade it, or borrow it on PC.

At the same price, the 360 version would be a much, much better deal. Now it's just slightly better, since the resell value drops fairly quickly, you may only make 60 percent of your money back.

How come it says the original price is $50, not $40 like you're suggesting? After the 10% discount, it's $45.

Considering I buy all my Valve games off Steam... This is news that I knew from day one and it's still good news.

When console games are $20 more expensive, even though they're surpassed by the PC versions, and make you pay for DLC rather than give it for free, I'm not so sure even with resell it would be as a good deal as PC games.



Its $20 cheaper and half the fun.

 

Seriously Mouse and keyboard for fast fps = fail

Luckly you can use a controller for PC.



I might pick it up for PC if it's $40...maybe.

Say what?

Fast aim is why people prefer a Mouse over controller. The core thing of FPS on PC is the precision and speed you get with Mouse and Keyboard. So why would it be fail?



Doesn't matter to me, because I'm waiting until a sale or price drop to pick up the 360 version... besides, I'll be too busy with MW2 that week to even be thinking about L4D2.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
