Some of the positives are DLC. Being able to do some mini-expansions are nice and general online capability is nice (this is the first gen to really have it anywhere near what PC's do). And patches I see both as a good and bad thing. Sometimes you need the ability to do patches, no matter how much QA you do.
Unfortunately what I see right now is that consoles are bastardizing the PC and so combining the negatives of PCs (too many sku's, lack of simple plug/play) with the negatives of consoles (not as much customizing options, adding costs to free things on PC like xbox live, etc).
