    Wasn't the matrix a MMORPG in the movie? The AI developed a system in which the humans would lead ordinary lives simulated inside a computer. So couldn't one skip the $50 and just go lead a normal life and get the same effect?

Or play an agent and tap the hell out of the woman in red, since, you know, it wouldn't be weird having sex with a program or anything, since I'd be playing as a computer program myself. Of course I'd be a human playing a program having sex with a progr... god, I need to get laid.
