Default why 50 pound for us but only 30 for PC

I have been playing the pc version and the 360 version for a while now and apart from the layout they seem to be identical, so how comes the 360 version is 20quid more. I know this isn't the only straight port there is but I would like to hear from a games maker rather than some guy say its because its next gen.

I think it's because with console games the console manufacturer takes a cut, it's why they can afford to sell the machines at break even or a loss.

PC games are generally cheaper than console games and always have been. We don't set the price and the game is priced the same as all the other Xbox 360 games with the exception of the Rockstar Table Tennis game.

The pricing isn't really down to us. We only develop the game.

Final Fantasy XI was also rightly priced below the norm as it is a subscription game.
