why are pc games cheaper than xbox games and gamecube games and ps2 games
is it cos the pc games dont get instrutions cos otherwise we are paying £10 for the instructions book
considering the pc is far the mist expensive in all computers why do they get cheaper games

PC games are cheaper at release because they always have a longer life span. Well most do take Unreal Tournoment first you had thet original and they made a load of that. Then there was GOTY edition then Classic's anbd other various releases.
Also PC games are te most popular in the industry so that adds to the cheapness.

That's a good point there, Bejam. There is no sole owner of the PC format therefore the royalties that would have gone to Sony or MS are void, resulting in lower prices.
That's the best theory I've heard, anyway.

Maybe it's to do with royalties? Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft like to take a chunk of the profits from each game, meaning that retailers have to set console game prices slightly higher in order to make profit, whereas PC games don't have lots of companies taking a cut of the profits? maybe?
not all games do you get a instruction book and being the fact that a pc is the most expensive doesnt mean console games should be dear. what about when xbox2 or ps3 comes out how much will they be £300 or more, i cant see them doing a gamecube and selling them for cut down prices and plus you can buy a pc for the same price
maybe cos pc games used to come in big ugly boxes thats why they was cheaper
