(Sorry my ideas are kind of spaced out throughout, but I'm kind of posting as I go). I also wouldn't want to pay $100 every year for a system near the end of its life when it is selling for around $500 (or less) year 6 or 7. (Assuming $100 a year for a $1000 top shelf spec console.) And what kind of crazy restrictions or rules would apply to a console I don't technically own? Would I have to be always online to register my Nintendo ID with the Nintendo server? If I didn't pay, could they lock my system out? 

I'd rather save $300 - $450 and buy a console outright.
