Bayonetta PS3 Port $5 Cheaper than 360 Version

bayonetta-cheaper-on-ps3

According to GameStop’s online pricing, the much discussed PlayStation 3 port of Bayonetta will apparently be available to consumers at a discounted price of five dollars ($54.99) over its Xbox 360 counterpart ($59.99).

If you are late in joining the conversation, Sega’s Bayonetta title was developed for the Xbox 360 and then ported over to the PlayStation 3. The pixel crunching scrutiny then began, and arguments as to which version was “better” ensued.

A slightly discounted price (if true) may help those who are on the fence about purchasing a ported title, however it may also reaffirm their notion that the port is inferior.

I’m personally not a big fan of ports knowing first-hand that there are many companies out there that take the time to develop a title individually with dedicated teams. That said, I am a big fan of Bayonetta and look forward to picking it up when it hits stores on January 5th (January 8th in Europe).

What do you think? Would discounted prices on ported titles make you happy in the end or is a better solution needed?

    It’s not really up for debate, the ps3 version IS inferior. At least they’re selling it for cheaper to compensate.

    the xbox 360 version is definitely less appealing ive seen both and not only dose the ps3 version run smoother and faster but has much better graphics. and now its cheaper. saying anything less would just prove you have an inferior mind.

    Just stumbled upon this. I myself have an Xbox360 and a PS3. I have played both versions (rented PS3 version) and I can truly say that the PS3 version is not just inferior but crap. The graphics are messed up, it glitches and the quickness of combos are awful, so no way would the lower price make me buy it. 360 Bayonetta is way better than PS3 hands down.
