I am sure Goozex has joined into a international conspiracy to screw the PS3 user.

stock for 360 tends to be higher

Pizza guys are getting worse and worse looking. I guess all the good ones went into porn.

Didn't the PS3 users screw themselves when they bought the PS3 in the first place?

i agree - my 360 had that "bad thermal paste" issue with the CPU - guess what - for about $2 i fixed it. The ps3 on the other hand has very limited (if none) backward compatibility - and the only good side is the HD output (which is only useful for those who can afford HD screens)

 

so yes - ps3 games are expensive. Dunno if their screwin ya that bad, its trading - and with trades, ya gota give up a bit to get anything at all.

Wait...wha?

At least with the 60 and 20 GB ps3s you are getting full BC instead of a spotty list not even including some of the best games made for the system.

Even the recently old 80s were pretty close to full BC with a good percentage of games.

And for the "HD issue" they are both 1080p machines and both of them are both great if you have an HDTV or bad if you don't. There is really no winner on either side there.

What truly confuses me is how a used games price point comparison on the systems turned into a system comparison? Keep in mind that Goozex goes off supply and demand, and the more supply the lower a price will be. With a majority of the users on the site as 360 owners, supply will always be higher for those games.

If you want to drop the price on PS3 games, get your PS3 buddies to sign up, and start trading games!

I love how no one still has answered him logically.... Ill try my best...

- The point system is based on an algorythm. For example, Orange Box. Xbox 360 version came out in early October I believe. The Ps3 game came out mid December.

- Currently there are about 30 users offering it for the ps3 and not many people requesting it. So that price will surely drop untill people start buying. Its like at the stores if they have 1 copy of a game that is going to still be at full retail. Say there is 10,000 copies of another that isnt selling, they will drop the price, to see if the game sells more.

- Some games just arent updated enough :P

Hope that helps.

Ok....once again, color me confused.

You just repeated exactly what I said about supply and demand using an example, and state no one answered him? When you used my answer, rephrased, to answer him?

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this yet..

PS3 Games, in general, are more expensive than Xbox 360 both inside and outside of Goozex.

Why? Because PS3 games utilize the Blu-Ray Disc instead of a DVD-DL. Blu-Ray DVD's can hold 3x the information (this includes better graphics in some cases) than DVD-DL (also referred to as DVD-9). Obviously Blu-Ray is more expensive, therefore PS3 Games, in general are more expensive than 360 Games. Since they cost more from Game stores and whatever, they cost more on Goozex.

red, PS3 games may be more expensive to make but they retail for the same price 98% of the time (at $59.99)

another factor to look at is sony themselves ""were sony, we got a big $600 machine, and it plays high-def graphics games..well charge you $70 for a 8hour game"" - - vs. ""hello were microsoft, we got a $250 machine, well charge you $60....but in a week well lower that price to $50 cuz nobody is buying it" lol -  its just companies.

 

Soon i think ps3 and Xbox360 games will rival for price, a brand new ps3 will be $60 so 1 xbox360 game will lower its price to compete. Its a waiting game, do you really REALLY want that game now - or wait a bit while it goes down on price in a month or so?
