Anyway, in my opinion, I don't give a damn if the PC has benefits or not, if it's free via PC, it should be on a console. It's like a father feeding his own kids a dinner, and giving a piece of bread to his step-child. You can't really favor the other. Of course if you have to get paid but in my opinion the only way you will make money is if you expand (which is what their doing)...when you make people pay for expanding is fine but to make one realm pay and the other is a load of crock. Expanding is teriffic because it will draw in more customers because some think "hey this game is bigger than before so maybe it's better/more fun than this game. their not expanding for no reason!" And I stand by this with Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I will not buy any of that on XBL...but I have bought some XBLA though. :)

I imagine the thinking is that if they charged on PC, most people would just pirate it anyway. I know it's possible to run cracked software on an Xbox but it's more inaccessible to your average user. They can get away with charging on the Xbox because for most people, paying the price is better than the hassle involved chipping your machine and stuff whereas as far as I'm aware, nobody ever pays for anything on PC anyway.

Sometimes having to pay too much for something just gets you away from the game. I'm taking myself as an example. This last month a friend of mine bought Battlefield 2 BUT to play it is imperative that you have the expansion Special Forces, otherwise you won't find any server to play the game. So he bought the 2, but I didn't buy them, especially because a lot of people say the maps fro the expansions are bad, but unless you have it you can't log in on any server.

My point is: the ones who have the game will probably pay but the ones who don't have it probably won't buy it since we have to pay at the same time the retail game and the expansion which sometimes gets a little pricey.
