      Because it's $3 cheaper for PS+ and came with free DLC.

          As if RE4 wasn't enough of a no brainer on PS+ at $10 but I just found out today it has a full suite of trophies. Meaning it has a platinum. Sweet.

            No platinum for RE4. I was a little disappointed when I saw that.

                Just had my first run-in with Old King Doran in Demon's Souls, and he promptly kicked my ass.

                      See, now that looks like a standard trophy list for a downloadable game. I have a feeling Capcom didn't make any adjustments like they did with the 360 cheevos. After looking at the 360 list it's pretty obvious that at the last minute they were told it would be a full release as a Games on Demand game on Live and not just a XBLA game. So it appears they took the easy route with the cheevos because there are still only 12 cheevos, which is the standard for XBLA games, but they are mysteriously very high point totals for each. Instead of expanding the list to make it retail appropriate, they just increased the number of points each cheevo is worth.

                      But it seems they were even lazier with the PS3 trophy set and didn't adjust them at all.

                          I don't understand why people buy these things, I really, really don't. I get why companies do it, I get why publishers do it, and I get why developers do it, I just don't understand why anyone buys it (and they must, or it wouldn't keep happening).

                          Granted, for some people they buy maybe 1 or 2 games a year and so spending money on this shit is a little more justifiable, but still, it seems like so little actual value.

                            I don't think that they would have been told last minute though. Doesn't the size of RE4 greatly outweigh the current size limit for an XBLA game (like, by a GB)?

                              I m ntioned in the Gears thread. In the case of that game it will take forever before the content ever goes on sale and if you intend on playing the game fairly regularly and you want to get it at a discounted rate it makes sense to bite the bullet early.

                              No clue. But both RE4 and BG& E were both Gamecube/PS2 games and one is Games on Demand and the other XBLA. And how else can you explain the fact that the 360 version has a full 1000 gamerscore but only 12 cheevos, which is the exact number of cheevos required for XBLA games?

                                If you think about it $30 for 4 packs of DLC comes out to like $7.50 a pack, which is a lot cheaper than most shooter DLCs.
