The reason VC games are overpriced is that it costs nintendo and third parties next to nothing to offer them as a download. They make mad profits (probably about 90%) on old games that most of us have already paid for at least once. (sometimes twice if the title in question is available on GBA or DS!) I've stopped buying VC titles unless it is something that I missed the first time around and know I really want to play. How much a game costs used is irrelevant.

Now all the other consoles, I just play on the PC for free with my USB Playstation 2 controller!
