Xbox 360 games more valuable than PS3's?

I think it's because the X360 has a much bigger user base, and therefore demand is higher. I personally prefer X360 CE's over the PS3, so much so that I even collect extra X360 consoles to ensure that I will always have something to play them on in the future.

Bear in mind that the X360 was first to market, and had a good year and a bit head start on the PS3. In that time there were several major CE releases such as Dead Rising, Bioshock, Halo 3, Perfect Dark Zero, Mass Effect, Gears Of War, COD 4 etc, and many collectors started collecting for the X360 long before the PS3 came out. Even once the PS3 was out, it would be a while before the CE craze caught on.

If you also compare the amount of X360 CE's available with how many PS3 CE's are available, I would guess that it's a ratio of 2:1! The X360 stil receives many more exclusive titles than the PS3, and some multi-format games even have some CE's exclusive to the Xbox but not the PS3...

I bought my 360 for Halo , Gears and Mass Effect, Bought the collectors edition of all of them

Seems to be going the other way though. Ps3 gets uncharted, resistance ect and 360 gets fewer and fewer exclusives

Same here. I started off collecting X360 CE's, and I've more or less stuck with the Xbox as my dominant console of choice for this reason. Plus the fact that there are about double the amount of CE's for the Xbox than there are for the PS3

I wouldn't say so. I think they both have their fair share of exclusives, and I'd say they were both about equal in terms of exclusive games being released. However, the Xbox exclusives are more likely to receive some kind of CE, whereas I've noticed that Sony tends to let some of their exclusive titles go without

The Xbox also gets a lot of timed exclusives too. In the early days this was mainly because they were first to market, but even now some games have a staggered release (Ok, not so much nowadays)

I'd say there's no question the PS3 has had much, much more (relevant) exclusives the past couple years. I say that because since around 09, all I buy for my 360 is exclusives and call of duty - and I've bought barely any 360 games the past couple years.

Looking forward, it looks like this trend will continue.

You guys should check this site out and compare prices of games. It'll show show you the average prices of the games. From what I can see the PS3 games sell for slightly more, and has some very pricey titles in comparison lol.
