He didn't overpay. This isn't like buying something and they forget to give you the sale price. If you buy a car off a loan, you pay more than when you buy a car outright in cash. The bank doesn't reimburse you afterwards for the extra amount. The 7.99 a month is set up for people that do not plan on having it all year. It's not for people looking for a yearly subscription and that's why it costs more. This is a standard business practice. Look at the perks phone companies and cable companies give you for signing up for a two year agreement instead of a one year. You save more by commiting longer. There are hundreds of examples of this in everyday use and I'm sure you didn't have a problem with any of them until big and bad Microsoft was the benefactor.
Tell me this good sir. Sony charges $2.99 for an episode of Qore on PSN. If you buy the yearly subscription it's only $24.99(13 episodes). If you bought them each individually it would be almost $33. Do you think Sony is going to give free episodes to the guy that bought month to month instead of the yearly subscription? Get real.
