I’m gonna do what I always do: I’m gonna pirate it, I’m gonna play it, and if I like it, I’m gonna buy it. If it sucks, it goes in the recycle bin.

$15 isn’t a bad price — regardless of what console gamers will be paying — but if the game is just plain bad, it’s $15 that’d be better spent elsewhere.

Here’s the thing: If there were value-added features for the PC version, like maybe a Level Editor, I wouldn’t think twice. Barring any additional features, it’s robbery.

“The typical downloadable price for digital-only games on PC is actually $19.99″ and?
The typical bargain bin game costs from 3 to 6 euros, and it’s more likely to find better games there than yet-another-bionic-commando, or many of those other 19.99.

Not to mention, it’s likely not going to be worth even that. And yet again, someone mentioned the P-word, so we get the college-know-it-alls unintentional trolls, like rez, who would easily link duplication to theft. Then proceed to type many lines of “LALALALALALALA CAN’T HEAR YOU LALALLALA” and run around in circles to not hear the retort.

Yeah, prices for Xbox points (unless you are using US account) is way higher. And considering current conversion $ – € I would say $15 is dirt cheap price.

So I am sold :-)

@subedii – yes, there are a fair few PS3 and 360 games that will run at 1080p, even without having to use the 360′s inbuilt hardware scaler to ‘cheat’. GT5:Prologue, Virtua Tennis 3 and Tekken 5 spring to mind.

That “$5″ is because Steam games are one price across the world, and $15 is roughly what us Europeans have to pay for 800 MS Points anyway (buying your points in the US has been made rather more fiddly these days).

But no, I don’t understand why anyone in a position to buy the 360 or PS3 version would want the PC one anyway; this game looks tailor-made for the pad and sofa.

Pay a little extra and buy Aquaria or other great indie games which DON’T try to rip you off instead (but not Eternity Child:o)

They remade Bionic Commando? Cool.

If you don’t like the PC price, wait a couple of months for it to adjust to the market.

Mass Effect extra content costs $5 or more on the 360, but is free on the PC. If you think this $5 discrepancy doesn’t make a lot of sense, the Mass Effect one is pure insanity.

Heh, saw this on other news outlets and was slightly amused/confused. Basically, them wanting more money for the same product means that i’m 90% certain that i won’t buy it at the price point that they think they can get away with….

Personally, I am just a bit irked because PC gamers have to pay more than console gamers. But still, the price is quite reasonable.

i think the pricing makes sense and sure it’ll end up being pirated but most of the people who want to play it and can pay for it will.
