Digital streaming is supposed to be cheaper than what Rogers Video and BlockBuster used to charge, but looking at this, they're more expensive and it's for old games... I was initially skeptical about whether the thread author was making up an issue out of nothing, but 7-8 dollars is what blockbuster used to charge for their brand new game rentals. There's an expectation that a digital medium like this should be able to beat a physical service so outdated that it went completely out of business.
For those of you who don't get what the problem is and are saying "if you don't like it then don't buy it", this is what's called a monopoly. Sony has a monopoly on this service so they are overcharging. Monopolistic practices is something that a lot of Sony fans rail Nintendo for, if you're fine with this, then I expect that you have all had a change of heart about Nintendo's SNES era?
