Apples and oranges

Streaming service versus hard rentals??  Hard rentals are limited in their scope...OBVIOUSLY, you cant take the whole store home/have it delivered.

Ridiculous comparison.  A streaming gaming service should follow a netflix model, not a hard copy rental model.  All you can eat for a fair fee.

There is no reason for this model other than profiteering.

Yes, Because video games are just like movies. Because running them on 10s of 1000s of PS3s is the same as cheap the Netflix servers. Because actual hardware rendering content and sending it over the internet is the same as encoded video playback sent over the internet.

The inner workings are exactly the same, so the pricing model should be the same. Makes total sense

Like this you mean?

 

 

wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the generation playstation now is as relevant as onlive
