^ I take you're talking about persona (b) i.e. someone who is considering to buy a console. Thus he's either familiar himself with using a controller or can buy a pretty Sony remote for $20. I don't think he'll sweat it, as he'll also have to buy cables and other accessories whatever console he chooses.
As for Netflix: zero value outside USA. And while Sony can add video rental and subscription services too (I think they announced some today for several european countries), the 360 is not getting BD. Which incidentally becomes the more attractive the lower the cost of the movies drop, and the more diffuse HDTVs become.
Anecdote: I noticed yesterday that my local Mediaworld store has almost doubled the shelf space for Blu-ray movies (I'd say it's now about 15% of that of DVDs) and is selling a good number of them at 15-19 euros, which places them in the same bracket as newish DVDs in the same store.
