penny arcade episode 1 more expensive on 360?

just wondering if someone could shed some light on this for me. i'm (finally) looking to purchase the first two episodes of the penny arcade game, but i'm confused about the pricing. it's possible i'm an idiot and looked at the wrong things, but i believe i see it listed as $15 on the ps3 and 1600 points on the 360. 1600 points is still $20 i'm pretty sure, so i don't know what that's all about. i also thought i remembered hearing one of the guys mention episode one getting a price cut a while back. anyway, i'd much rather play it on my 360 than ps3, and i've also got an assload of ms points, so figuring out why the 360 version is pricier is key. if anyone could help my poor brain figure this one out, that would be much appreciated.

    It released for $20 on both Xbox and PC. Months later they dropped the price to $15 for PC and released the title on PSN for the current ($15) price. The price on LIVE not dropping is a Microsoft thing. Doesn't make much sense to me but they have yet to drop it to its current price point on other systems.

    I think the second episode is only 1200 though, so at least there's that.

    If you keep an eye out, Target has sales where they'll sell 1600 points for $15. Good time to stock up.
