Default Yahoo Games on Demand

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's one of Yahoo's latest features relating to games.

I was wondering if anyone ever got something from it, and if so, what did they think of it?

To me, personally, it looks like a killer deal.

I am under the personal opinion that if a game can give you more hours of entertainment than the dollars (US) you spent on it, then it's worthit, and if you can get, for $10, 3 games to play for one month - that's nearly 10-20 hours of good gameplay, and even more if a particular game is good. (there are other "packages", of course)

They also seem to offer all the features one would get from buying a CD Rom.

On the downside, apparently, you need a constant broadband internet connection, even for singleplayer, because the game is essentially streamed to you. But this isn't a problem for some people.

So what do you/did you think about it?

Kind of works like Valve's Steam, no?
