Weird similitude for many reasons and not very useful.
Basically the facts are that while "other OS" and PSN were bullet points for promoting the console, I'm pretty sure that nowhere in _legal_ terms Sony is really obliged to keep granting you the same free PSN services that were active the day you bought your console.

Future BluRay standards work the same way, really, and the same is true of games. As long as they put "requires a BluRay3D capable player" or "requires firmware 3.25+" on the movies/games they are legally in the clear because they are giving the informed user all the necessary info.

I get your point that Sony can hide behind some technicalities, but technicalities don't always put you in the clear in legal terms.

Reasonable expectation would be that when one buys a product, one expects it to keep having the features that were advertised. Breaking this expectation without an extraordinary reason seems shady, that's all.
