I think it might be the best and most original innovation of this generation. We'll have to see how it takes hold next generation.

Innovation? GameTap and other all-you-can-eat for a flat rate game services of the past decade say:

"Hello there! We beat PS+ to the market by a huge margin, had a lot more games, and nobody said we were original or innovative! *sob*."

Don't get me (too) wrong, I am contemplating getting it for Vita, but it is not original *or* innovative if those words have any actual meaning anymore.

*sigh*  Relative to what it is, which is an online service offered by a console manufacturer.  None of the other hardware manufacturers had done this before, that I know of.  This could actually change the online services offered by Microsoft and Nintendo in the future, which would make it innovative.
