Why they haven't introduced a similar program (and expanded upon it) or even established a formal platnium hits library is unknown ...

In the past, Microsoft has mentioned that they want the downloadable content on XBox Live to have a fee in order to preserve its value so it is possible that Microsoft has a similar mindset about games; at the same time I think Sony and Nintendo have a great deal of difficulty in selecting adequate content for either a platnium hits library or packaged games (due to how short of a timeframe they have been out for).

Personally, I think bundling is a great way to minimize the growing costs associated with gaming ... being that controllers are $40 to $60 seeing dual-controller bundles with consoles and games with controllers for $60/$70 makes it far more reasonable for most people.
