is there a subscription fee?

i wouldn't expect anything less than anti consumer from the MPAA though.

MPAA, MPA, FACT, Ect:

# Sony Pictures

The goal of the all the majors now is a rental/subscription based service, this includes music & even with the games market this approach can clearly be seen with sony's nothing less than disgusting approach to its new hand held device that will only support downloaded titles that you are not allowed to sell on.

it has gone from micro payments for old software to full retail prices for software that has no second-hand value whatsoever.
