Youd have to download an app. And theres no way Sony would flat out make an app for Xbox. Windows 8 yes, but Xbox no chance. That would completely destroy Sony's game department.  Ironically it would probably make them more profit, but their fanbase would murder them.

Why would it destroy Sony's game department? It would destroy their HW "center of the home" vision but not their SW vision, let alone their game department.

I meant fanwise. Its risky if you ask me. Going up against Xbox Live ( which surely Microsoft will fully implement for Windows 8 in the way Sony are ). If Microsoft do, Sony will lose this. Live is a proven million seller. Minecraft for example has sold more than most Disc based games and is still selling. It'll likely it 6 million before E3 next year. Developers wont be afraid of a service thats proven like Xbox Live. They will cling to it as its proven. The fact that Xbox Live is built into Windows 8 screams Microsoft are going the same route. And I have a funny feeling Microsoft will also give you the option to download the game for keeps on Live as well as a stream service.

This should be very interesting indeed.
