Lol, Im noticing a trend here with people from the uk.  Evidently this isnt a term used over there?

Regardless of locale, you cannot steal by passively offering a choice.

And no, UK is not the country in which I live.

Yeah, the term is actually commonly used here in the states to describe something that is overpriced.  They arent actually saying it is stealing.  

Then americans are using it poorly.

I didn't realize Nintendo offered Wii games on the virtual console. 

PS3's library, without any console >>>> yearly EA rehashes

Talk about selective reading. "It also means taking losses somewhere else, which ultimately still affects me. So, actually, I don't know if I would welcome it."

"If the costs > revenue with a $10 sub, and they start taking cuts elsewhere (halting developments of new IPs for example), well, I think my "Playstation future" trumps old titles (implying that I wouldn't like the $10 sub)"

But, read what you want to, I guess. Put words in my mouth about "a subscription being more attractive and would welcome it", completely ignoring that I just said I don't like a $10 subscription, the little standard you were talking about. I don't like your proposal, because it would definitely impact negatively elsewhere. For the right price, where Sony could still operate properly and not take losses.....that would be more attractive. But don't just blanket statement "you said a subscription would be more attractive and would welcome it" just to say "see, I was right" when you have very detailed specifics that I objected to.

You like the Netflix model, like everyone else. Ok, let me do what you just did: "Kowenicki thinks the subscription model is attractive and would welcome it. $5 a month for 240p max video quality is something he'd like".

Now, you actually believe the $8 is a good price (the "right price" for a supposed PSNow sub), and you get good quality videos (good quality streaming games). But because "the subscription model is attractive and you'd welcome it" (something you/I inferred from having subs period), any price and any shit quality is something you'd happily go with (lower quality experience due to cheap prices).

That's what you just did to me. 

It is just too much indeed. Just charge 99 cents for one week for a old game and 1,99 for a new AAA one. That is fair.
1,99 for one month of a old one and 2,99 for a month of a AAA big title.
More than that and I am out.
By the way, PSone should be 10-30 cents for one week and a PS2 title should be 40-50 cents.

I've been robbed before but never on a highway. Is it really that different?
