Tied into that is the whole management of on-line credit card info, accounts and passwords etc, multiple device licensing etc. For a family in particular the PSN is a no-brainer and provides more than enough variety to meet our needs. I can see hardcore gamers and "geeks" wanting additional avenues and flexibility but the gap/appeal is no longer significant enough to warrant the hassle .. keeping up to date with patches and drivers etc just got old as I got older and more kids arrived.

Ironically it was our original Xbox that made that future "apparent" and appealing .. however it was the PS3 that delivered the actual goods as an "all-in-one" multi-media device.
