That actually shows a nice decrease in price for you while there is an increase in production costs for the developers as the games became more complex. That's because £45 then was worth more than it is today, so they're hardly robbing you. The only thing removed was OtherOS, what else has been removed from your launch day PS3? I agree it was completely wrong to remove it but we know why it happened. Online or Otheros was the ultimatum, funny thing is, your making the same decision now only for copied games which is now justifiable because you lost OtherOS for online play. The very thing you've chosen to lose now for copied games.
