why huge price difference?

1- CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145184 (85$)

and

2- OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227297 ($295)

For playing games like crysis and cod4 and other high performance games, what is the difference? is number 2 simply bleeding edge technology so its very pricey?

If someone could explain the specifics of the differences I'd greatly appreciate it.

The first one is ddr2, and the second one is ddr3. DDR3 is newer and faster, but it's still not worth it.
