If we were really talking about games we already own, then I don't think the topic of "ROMs cost $0" would have come up.

But, ya, dumping ROMs from cartridges you already own is legal, so long as it's only for private, personal use. Uploading said dumped ROMs to the internet isn't. And I could be wrong, but I believe I remember reading that downloading ROMs also isn't legal even if it's of a game you already own, with it only being legal if you dump the ROM off of your own cartridge. Though, most people don't have a means to dump ROMs, anyway, so most of the time when people are talking about ROMs, they are talking about piracy.

I just did something real clever to get the game I wanted. The Hyperstone Heist costs between $40 - $150 on eBay, but right now for a limited time, the Cowabunga Collection on the PlayStation Store is going for $15.99 and I had $28.27 remaining in my PlayStation account from when I cashed in my Sony Rewards for PlayStation money. I bought it for $17.35 after tax, leaving me with $10.92 left over in my account. So basically, I got all 13 games for free rather than spending hundreds on all the game since the money spent was from my Sony Rewards. I was just curious about the game's price and saw that it's on sale 60% off and decided to go for it.

Isn't that a smart idea or what? They're currently downloading from the PS Store; it has about 50 minutes left with 8.9 GB.
