Damn, great post. I'm going to have to tag this for every time this topic is inevitably brought up over the next few months :p
There is always the chance that something like this could be abused (not necessarily by Sony, but any companies that follow suit), so to that degree i can understand people's worries, but on the face of it this seems like a great idea. We live in a world where profits are the first, second, and third priority of these companies, their manufacturers, and retailers. If something like this ends up allowing Sony to push out cool ideas that would otherwise have been nipped in the bud by some chap in a suit, then i'm all for it.

If people saw first hand the original design/features/functionality of the products they buy, compared to what it turned out like when it hit retail, people would understand instantly that the way business is conducted currently, favors profits over innovation and risk, the only way this is going to change is if the risk is reduced or removed, and the descision making either taken away from the men in suits or at the very least, influenced in a weighted manner by the consumer and not the fat cats milking every last dime out of a product PO without willingness to take any risk in the process.

I'm just gonna link your other post when the typical negative view on this topic is brought up. It's much easier than trying to explain all of the positives to it over and over.
