its not sony who puts the price, is capcom, while yes sony does make a profit out of it, but its up to the devs to choice wat price they want to put their game on the PSN store......u know its not ALWAYS sonys fault lol there was a article about it actually.

P.S besides RE2 as much as i liked the game and own it on hard copy, it wasnt as popluar as RE1. not sayin RE2 isn/wasnt popular but it wasnt as big of a hype as RE1 was.

they match the price for the servers or wat not, ummm for example lets say it costs capcom a mill to put a game on PSN servers. sony will match that. but in the end its capcom or whoever the dev is puts the actual price on the game it self, sony only covers the cost of how much it will be to put it on PSN

Nostalgia is profitable. I don't understand why it costs more myself. But, whatever...

Tomb Raider did the same thing on PSN. $10 for part 1, $6 for all the other ones.
I guess they're gouging on the originals.
