That pricing's a little bit harsh on Wii owners, isn't it? Most XBLA game that are also available on PC are about the same price, as far as I'm aware.
Not an issue for me, as I don't have a Wii and this game will probably run happily on my very much not-gaming-grade laptop (which runs Sam & Max just fine), so I was always going to buy the PC version, but it doesn't seem right. Edit: Hang on, I've realized why there's a price difference, it's the whole "buy in Dollars on PC" vs "buy in Euros/Pounds on console" thing again. Apologies for being slow.

One episode is USD 8.95 (GBP 4.50)
Notice it's in USD 1000 wii points is 10 USD, so it's not that huge a mark-up... UNTIL you get to Europe... |

Also games are always cheaper on PC than consoles, take Orange Box for example.
Don't know why, just seems to be. |

Boxed retail games are cheaper on the PC because they don't have to pay a licensing fee to the platform owner like console titles do. I'd imagine this also applies to downloadable games, but for some reason these often end up selling for the same amount across all platforms (in Dollars, at least).
