The VC was awesome, but the games were quite overpriced. Now by including all the games for free in a low cost online subscription, which let's be honest you'd probably get even without retro games on there, you're basically getting a VC subscription service for free. Considering this I'm surprised they aren't charging more for online. Though maybe since they've always made it free in the past they could be viewing it like online is still free but the new model for VC is what costs $20/year and its just all bundled together. Either way this is a much better deal for gamers than the VC was. I'm especially excited for online play of retro games. As long as they release a few new games per month I think this model beats the VC hands down.
