I don't think Sony is completely to blame here. And as far as the discussion about gaming companies and digital transactions, Nintendo is the worst of them all. Their Virtual Console prices can be downright ridiculous, and are unfairly priced for games that I could A: emulate for free with a simular experience, or B: find a copy of the game for cheaper. Anyway...

Personally, the fact that Mirage can't be raced online isn't sony's fault. SL made it that way, or it's a bug, which shoulda been fixed before release. I could validate paying that money (which is find is outragious considering US players will undoubtedly pay less) if Mirage was raceable online. And the tracks, to my knowledge there isn't a black verison (major let down) and I'm confident (still haven't shelled out the bread for the pack yet) you can't do the tracks in zone. That's just upseting.
