3 things: Cross game chat shouldn't be premium content; the Facebook service sounds a lot like the service that's currently available, means that will be taken off the free PSN and put into premium, it's not a core gaming necessity so no big deal, but still it's taking what used to be free access and making it a paid for service; how much is all this going to cost?
None of it looks particularly appealing to me, and given I can't use Netflix or Hulu the potential value of premium content is even lower. If I was into Netflix, and I could use it, I would stay with the disc based service that comes with no additional costs. Seems like very little hassle to stick in a disc to get Netflix movies, strangely enough I put discs in my PS3 all the time and it hasn't caused me any inconvenience so far.
