Yeah, I think they are more expensive than £6.80 though.

SchminkyPinky is probably wrong.

People are stupid?

Developers are limited by what they can charge as for some reason MS says it has to be like 400/800/1200 points, they can't put their game up for say 575 points, so they either go cheaper at 400 or go more expensive at 800. This means that currently some things are cheaper on XBLA and some are cheaper on PSN, but overall they are about the same. They won't be able to do this without points as if a game is £7.99 on PSN then MS will look bad charging £10. So prices aren't suddenly going to go up, they will stay in line with PSN, and perhaps this will even lead to more competition between the two services.

Is it not true that the majority of multiplatform PSN+XBLA new releases these days follow this pricing structure?

...and do you not think MS will be tempted to bump the new release prices closer to or matching PSN prices when they start pricing stuff regionally?

I don't think it's as simple as that. This comparison shows £7.99 games on PSN are either £6.80 or £10.20 on XBLA (800/1200 points). It's an old comparison and a very small sample but shows variation in who is cheaper.

Edit: I did a quick search on a couple of more recent games to see if that comparison still holds, and it appears that Dungeon Defenders is £7.99 on PSN but 1200 points (£10.20) on XBLA. Also, Joe Danger was released on PSN almost two years ago at £9.99, it's was finally released on XBLA last month for £10.20.

They are both closed markets so I do not expect there to be any competition between them. Obviously people who own both consoles are quite few, we being part of that rare group of enphusiats.
