They're easily worth full price.

Wow ... puzzle agent 2 on steam is 9.99 ..........

They really need to get their act together on standardizing prices.

@Scuffles Different stores can charge different prices -- just like Walmart, Best Buy, Gamestop, etc.

Stores tend to stick with the MSRP which is 9.99 unless they are running a sale and a few months down the line when they start discounting to liquidate their assets. The base price for the game on iTunes is 6.99.

Yes you can consider the iMisc as their own console but you are still saying that somehow its worth 30% less on iTunes?

I mean what if you walked into a store and saw a game selling on the Wii for $50 and on the PS3 for $65. Of course assuming it is a game that both systems play equally well and essentially look the same so we aren't talking an HD version on the PS3.

Better question would have been, when was the last time I walked into a gamestop and was in visual range of an EA sports game without recoiling like a vampire from a cross? Those things have prices on them?

Also after vaguely perusing gamestop online...... Ugh I looked at sports games X______X

Madden NFL 12 360: $59.99 (With bonus teams)

Madden NFL 12 PS3: $59.99 (With bonus teams)

Madden NFL 12 Wii: $49.99 (No bonus teams)

Are these pretty playable on iPhone? I really fancy the games but worried as most PC games don't port so well.

@Kazzahdrane I didn't have any trouble playing them. The only drawback is the screen size, which might or might not be a deal breaker. (For me it's not an issue.)

In the final sentece, when you say, "iPad and iPhone versions ... $0.99 and $2.99, respectively," it sounds like you mean "the iPad version is $0.99 and the iPhone version is $2.99."

I will admit, however, that the bullet points clarify.

I was confused by this as well until I read the bullets.
