    Stumbled across this site for game downloads from an ad on Penny Arcade (probably the only site where I will click on ads)

    Could someone explain how it works. As far as I can see, I pay $10 a month and can download 900+ games... is this correct? Do the games expire after a certain amount of time?

    I've read the "About us" page and their wiki and can't seem to find the catch. All help appreciated. :confused:

    The "catch" is that there are very few AAA games or new games on the service and there is a monthly subscription.

    You could download 900+ games but they are banking that you won't, and you will still be paying $9.99 a month for a service when you are only downloading the "latest" MegaDrive game they have emulated.

    A year subscription is $120. I doubt you would find enough good games that you would be prepared to pay that much for in a year. But I don't know, maybe you would.

    Oh, and its also only available to people in North America.
