Yes.

No, but everything on the PlayStation Store provides a lot better bang for your buck.

Pushmo and Dillon's Rolling western are the 2 I have. Together the content is already more than some retail games, and together they were less than $20. So yes, since the average retail game is around 40-50 hours (the good ones), then for 2 cards you can get 5-10 games or more and each game is about 10-15 hrs.

Yes.
I've bought retail games that haven't lasted as long (or haven't been as enjoyable) as some of the games on the eShop.
Some will be better than others obviously, but in general I definitely think the prices are reasonable considering the quality of games that are available.
Zen Pinball 3D alone has lasted me over 40 hours so far and I'm not done with it so that's pretty good value for money if you ask me.

Really it depends on the game and the person. I can say yes X game is worth the price on the eShop but another person may not think so.

@Viewtiful_Joe didn't you just say yes in the 2nd post, and now you say no?

Come again? I think they are definitely worth it. Knuxyboy up there just had to bring up Sony. Which has nothing to do with this. ;)

I have: Mighty Switch Force, Pushmo, Lets Golf 3D, Sakura Samurai, Dillon's Rolling Western, and Zen Pinpall, all were worth the money. I am enjoying Pushmo more than the retail games i have, Mighty Switch Force was fun but still enjoyable, Let's Golf 3D isn't the best titlee but there is tons of missions/goals to do and lots of courses, Sakura Samurai is excellent and just the right difficulty, Dillon's is great and lengthly, and Zen Pinball is well... Pinball, and its great! All are worth it.

@Gundammac I can't see it either, and i'm on a computer.

All of the purchases I have made were worth it, and I have about 40 purchases right now. Lately, I've been having a blast with Art Academy; It's my first time trying it since I skipped over the DSi iterations.

Pullblox is definitely worth the price.

Mighty Switch Force was fun as well, but I found it to be a little over-priced.

I say Pushmo and maybe a couple VCH games are worth it, But I don't feel like paying $10 for Dillon's Rolling Western when I can spend only $5 more and get the amazing game Journey on PSN u_u

If you still can't see it then what I'm trying to say is that you're a terrible troll and nothing less.

@ViewtifulJoe oh I get what you were saying now. I thought you said yes in the 1st post, and then agreed with ps store being better. But I guess not, now that I see the pic! :)
