[quote name='FlyingMonkey9']There's a difference between being greedy and being rational.
Playstation has never had the ME franchise, so its not a rerelease. How dumb would they be starting it at a budget price? No company would do it.
If Gears of War 2 came out for PS3 last year, do you think it would have been anything but full price?[/QUOTE]
Yes companies do do it. Look at Capcom bringing over Resident Evil 4 from Gamecube to the Playstation 2. They gave us all the extras and and a $10 price cut. I use this example because its a Triple A title. If you think that game does not qualify as a Triple A title, lets take Rockstar finally releasing Grand Theft Auto on X-Box. They did not add content, but instead released both games in a double pack for $29.99!! So yes, companies do do it.
[quote name='K_G']The fallout 3 GOTY was $60 when it came out while the original release was around $20-30...same with the Borderlands GOTY, although in both of these cases the GOTY prices generally fell to $40 within a few months.

"GOTY" seems to be a new model introduced this generation. I do not recall those prices, the only one I remember was Modern Warfare 2 GOTY and the "GOTY" was only $10 difference. But I have not paid much attention to the "GOTY" prices and regular edition prices that much but I have seen the price fall on Borderlands, though Fallout 3 GOTY took much, much longer.
[quote name='iwannadie']I don't have a 360 so buying it cheaper was never an option and it was a new when it came to the ps3. I had no problem paying full price and I loved the game. I think it is one of those games that will drop way low pretty fast though.[/QUOTE]
I can see that but I am just stating that other publishers have been more generous when they ported over a franchise. There are some examples that games do get ported at full price (Star Ocean Last Hope International) but I have never seen a $40 difference. That is all I am saying, I have had the chance to get the game at $5 on Clearance for the 360, but I knew the PS3 version had the DLC so I passed. I am waiting to get it at a better (more comparable) price. When it hits $20 I will probably jump on it. I am a fan of having content on disc, not DLC on a hardrive.
