Buying from the PSN Store isn't any cheaper than buying retail, really.
The PSN Store's sales are neither as awesome nor as in-your-face as Steam's sales. Also, to get the best sales from the PSN, you need PS+ which costs money so there's no way to know if the difference is worth it.
Oh, and downloading from the PSN takes 5 times as long as from Steam.
About the only advantage to buying from the PSN over buying physical discs is not having to disc-swap but I dunno if it's worth it considering the other factors.

I only buy PS1 games off PSN classic or ones that don't have a physical copy but would look damn good on my TV.
Not particularly. The camera is the biggest part of that, but the control just doesn't seem as good as Smash. May just be because I used Kratos, but that shouldn't be the big problem.
No offence guys but i don't think it should be compared so much to Brawl. I mean what fighter game can be better than Brawl? But being fair i think Kratos is extremely overpowered and i had the most fun when i was playing as Sly & Parappa.

It's inevitable, though.
It's a first-party title which stars various notable characters from mostly exclusive games from the publisher's family of consoles. It also doesn't help that Sony put "super smash bros" as a tag in their initial Youtube video which first promoted the game.
It's so obviously a bandwagon (ie. "me too") kind of game, that Sony can't avoid such comparisons.
But yes, I agree that it's an unfair fight to begin with as Brawl is clearly going to be superior.
Ehhh, I'm on the fence. I like some of the other characters in this, but so far the beta only has one I'd really like, and that's Kratos. And like I said, the camera for this game is bloody f-ing awful. It's zoomed so far out that you can't always see what's going on. If you're going to rip off Smash Bros., then rip off the things that are good. I really don't like the super moves to kill thing, and Parappa's level 3 is cheap as all hell. Doesn't matter where you are, he fires that thing off, you're dead. Honestly, I've seen better Smash-style fighters out of the Digimon and Cartoon Network franchises.
Given the choice between this and Smash, I'd take Smash any day of the week.

Pretty much this. (Except I preferred the quicker characters like Sly).
I personally would say it's NOT worth £35. Half that, maybe.
If I compare Super Smash Bros. with Jump! Super Stars or Jump! Ultrastars, JSS and JUS don't just hold up pretty well, they really stand on their own. People actually liked playing JSS and JUS, and not because it was on the DS. The controls were solid, and even though it played pretty much like Smash, it did things their way, and all that without actually having to deviate too much from what works in Super Smash Bros., which was ring-outs (although ring-outs aren't a major part of this game).
I have yet to play PSASBR, but I will compare it with Super Smash Bros. like I compared JUS with SSB. If JUS managed to do it on its own, PSASBR should stand the test just as well, and if it doesn't, it's not because I compared it with SSB.
Another thing also is you guys are judgeing the beta not the full game. There is a reason when during back in the days of the PS1 & PS2 that it said on demo discs that the game can change. Superbot could change the game a bit. Again like i said i find the beta really fun when i'm playing as Sly & Parappa so i think it could be their speed and super attacks since i love seeing Parappa's & Sly's.
Except a beta is always close to the real deal. Only in alpha do things change a lot. Beta is more for bugfixes.
LBP2's beta for example was almost exactly like the retail version, only with some exploits removed, making some user-created beta levels (which weren't available on retail anyway) unplayable.
EDIT: Played the beta, not going to buy it. It's not a bad game, but it's actually just meh.
Some new stuff has come from a IGN livestream of the game and here's some of the stuff from Youtube, There's the opening to Ratchet's arcade mode, Ratchet & Jak's rival cutscene and fight
I have not tried Spike yet coolsome because mostly i was playing as Jak,Ratchet.Sly, and Sackboy but i might give him a try today and see what he's like.
Well i did Spike's training mode and i thought he was OK but i don't know what fans of Ape Escape would think of him because i never played any Ape Escape games other than demos of Ape Escape Move and Ape Quest so i don't have any idea how Spike is meant to play. Sorry coolsome but i can't really tell if his moves match the games or not.

Game has an online store!

Physical copy from Game (with exclusive Sackboy cover that looks lame): £39.99.
Physical copy from Amazon.co.uk: £37.99.
It doesn't prove my point all that well, but it's still cheaper to buy it online. THAT'S what I meant.

Also, booming announcer voice isn't very booming...
Other than that, did you like it?
(Seriously where have those Wii games gone! :O (I really have an itch for Brawl and Galaxy, but half of my old Wii titles have gone missing...)
Indeed. My games are all here, but my Wii itself won't read disks and I don't have the money to get it fixed by Nintendo.
We don't know, He's not in the beta.
Damn! Does it look like its worth the £35 for the game.

Well in my opinion i think it's a fun game. Not as good as Brawl but better than other fighters in my opinion.

YAY! I knew it!
We ALL knew it, it has been leaked months ago.
Well, free for the first two weeks, anyway. It's a bit weird - check the link for the details.

On the plus side, thanks to the demo, my opinion of DmC Dante has risen substantially.
Was it worth the price then?
Ohh I just thought of something is the sound track like SSBB? Where they remix soundtracks from the games?
YAY
Wow and i thought you would be happy for Raiden being in it.
