Wow some people just dont get it...the OP was talking about what look like flaws from a business sense not from a consumers. For a consumer its great to get everything free, its just not sustainable and there is always a cost. Right now Sony is offering the goods for free to attempt to gain marketshare but in its current model its not sustainable. They are 3 years in and still incurring huge losses. There are a couple of possible scenarios for the future unfortunately all of them will piss off certain groups of consumers. The most likely thing they will do is simply drop support for games after a certain period of time, retiring games to keep overhead manageable, they have already started doing this with certain older titles (most recent would be calling all cars which goes dark in January). The other option would be to start charging of course...which many would consider a bait and switch regardless of its necessity.
