One of my favorite parts about the PS3 was that you'd have companies like Square, Atlus, Capcom, and Konami throw cult classic, or otherwise hard to find games on PSN for $10.

Now it has to be a big song and dance to justify $40-$60 purchase, or a subscription model, and if they can't figure it out maybe just never do it.

Don't get me wrong, the good remaster releases can be very worth it, sometimes fixing glaring problems of the originals, but sometimes I just want them to throw a bunch of Roms up on the store and I'll be super stoked.

I'm so mad at the current state of Tales, lol.

Arise was very successful, they have a huge backlog of Tales games to potentially resell to new and old fans, and they can't capitalize on it at all.

And a lot of those ps3 games really haven't gotten anything since. There were some weird picks in there in the best way.

Xenogears, threads of fate, Digital Devil Saga, Raidou 1 and 2, Stella Deus, I think every mainline Suikoden??, MegaMan Legends.

They just threw that stuff on there like yeah who cares.

PS1 Classics were $6, at most $10. There were hundreds of titles, including ones that are well over $100 to find prints of today. You could hop on your PS3 or PSP and buy them in a pretty solid emulator -- with cross buy to boot! And that's on top of the proper remaster/remake stuff you mentioned which rarely exceeded $10 but never more than $15.

Never knew how good we had it.
