Outrage?

They are going to charge $5 more ($15 total) on PC than what they are charging on every other platform. Then (just my guess) is they will blame bad sales on piracy and not that everyone bought it on cheaper platforms.
Why are they doing this? There should be a worldwide outrage.

I think they just want to give people who were going to pirate it anyways, some sort of supposed moral justification and a chance to say "well I was going to buy it".
The PC version supposedly has some extra stuff coming to it as well.
The link says $5 so I guess that. Not as bad as $15

it's $15 total, and on consoles it's in whatever $10 is in Microsoft Points (TM) (R) (S).
I plan on getting it on PC myself. It's an extra five bucks I don't mind paying. Though I really want this to succeed on PC, mainly to get them to port Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD like they said they were going to.
Hi5.
They gotta' start putting out crap, my wallet can't take much more of this.
Also, to be more on-topic: $15.00? Surely this will cause economic collapse! Rabble! Rabble rabble! If it's like on Steam, any excuse they give is just that - an excuse.
If it comes in a nice box with an instruction manual and a disc, well sure - charge us an extra fiver, that's fine-just-fine.
There will be, and anyone with a PC that really wants to play, and is pissed off at this, will likely just pirate it.
What's that saying when what you do causes what you don't want to happen, to happen? It's one of those.
But "Other people charge more on PC, so we can get away with it" is a bit of a dick move.
Although, it's a bit of a standard industry practice. Lot's of PS2 games are coming out at like £17.99 these days, and the Wii has a waggleport at £30. Shovelware mostly, but the point still stands.
True.
Once the 360 version sells more for being cheaper, THEN they'll say it's piracy.
As for me, well, as long as they're actually giving more content for the extra cost, I don't really have an issue with it.
:whistle: a needle pulling threeeead :whistle:
PC: Bionic Command Rearmed - $15
Console: Xbox 360 + BCR - $310
Surely not?
Lewie, don't make me hurt you.
Awesome, I've never seen a genuine internet punch up before.
*grabs popcorn*
Niiiiice
You're getting Bionic Commando for free, aren't you. You jerk.
Edit: Yeah, I really don't care about pricing controversy for any XBLA game any more.
I don't know the prices for a whole lot of digital-only PC games, but Audiosurf is $10 and each episode of Sam & Max is less than that on Steam.
A long time ago I heard that the 360 version has lower res textures because of space limitations.
Allegedly. One of the devs posted that there'd be an extra content patch post release for additional "danger rooms" or something, whatever that means. I never played the original Bionic Commando.
Shit most PC games are $10 cheaper than console counterparts. So it could be much worse.
