That's pretty much store price right? That's a big drawback to the pay-to-download sites so far, not only are you not getting a price cut but rather technically paying more for the product. In this case, there isn't any cost to the company for the production and distribution of a physical product. But you still pay the same price. Same with iTunes. At a dollar a song, once you get an album of 13 or 14 songs you might as well have gone out and just bought it. You've paid the same price but haven't gotten an actual product. The company doesn't spend as much, but you pay the same. That's still not good internet business and not a huge encouragement for those who can download it for free. Time for the big companies to be less greedy and figure out how these here internets work. $14.99 is the regular price for a download? That’s pretty much store price right?

I've been championing BitTorrent as a legitimate distribution method for movies, music and comics for about 2 years now. (And to be honest, many game vendors have been using it for legit distribution for a while.) Well worth .99 just to support the initiative! :) Well, this is completely awesome!
