PS3 version £10 more expensive than Xbox 360 version.
The decision to price the PS3 version of Devil May Cry 4 £10 higher than the Xbox 360 version came from retailers, not publisher Capcom, VideoGamer.com has learned.
Speaking to VideoGamer.com, a spokesperson for Capcom said: "We don't set the prices of our games, that's at the discretion of the retailer. In this specific instance, the process has resulted in a price difference, but the process itself is not something we completely control."
While DMC4 is certainly not the first multi-format game to be more expensive on the PS3, in this case some PS3 owners have complained at the higher price for what is essentially the same game on a different console.
High street specialist retailer GAME lists DMC4 with an RRP of £49.99 on PS3 and £39.99 on Xbox 360. Both Play.com and Amazon.co.uk list the same pricing.
Regular readers will know the game, which is due out on both consoles on 8 February, looks in good shape. You an check out why in our recent Devil May Cry 4 hands on. When you've done that, why not check out the latest Devil May Cry 4 trailer on our video player?

RRPs are set by the manufacturer so I don't understand how Capcom can't be in complete control of the process.
On the bright side, Amazon are selling the limited edition for £39.99 (PS3), or £29.99 (360). This £10 disparity is down to retailers, I'm guessing it's because the Blu-Ray version costs them more to buy from Capcom than the 360 version due to pressing costs?Last edited on Tue 29 January 2008 by FantasyMeister

I think the smaller companies would start to see significant increase in sales
The difference in price makes no odds, 360 has been very popular in 2007, but I see PS3 coming through strong.
On an even brighter note I have seen both versions cheaper on www.****.com with free 1st class deliveryLast edited on Tue 29 January 2008 by Rogue Soul

They've at least got to be aware of how the most vocal feel about regularly getting the worse deal, here. I was reading a cover story feature on DMC4 with strong interest and enthusiasm, but this sort of action, along with the fact I've yet to try the game (I only play multiplatform titles on PS3, by choice), means it's all the easier for me to leave DMC4 on-hold, till some time in the future.
As you might gather, I'm disappointed by the price differences, because it will send a message - except that it'll be one that I won't be influenced by, as I'll buy neither, for now.

I'll compare the US Collector's Edition and the European one.
US:
-Steel Case
-Bonus Soundtrack
-1st Volume of the DMC Anime
-Artbook
-Bonus DVD with Making-Ofs and content for the PC such as wallpapers and screensavers
Europe:
-Steel Case
-Artbooklet
Hmm...Don't even compare the price, it's a total rip-off....
