A couple free HD rentals? Free dynamic themes? IDK. @hobbes: PS3 already has Netflix. You have to pay Netflix for the service, though, but that wouldn't be included in the premium subscription. It's through a disc right now, but XMB integration is coming, which should also be included free. I'm surprised no one mentioned the Non-Game SDK. Sounds like we could see a lot of third party programs running on the XMB (probably for programs like you'd find on the App Store). If that's the case, I hope they'll allow you to organize your list.

As long as it's not a subscription for something that would make my PS3 useless otherwise then it's OK. I never understood why people pay for Xbox live. It's like charging for 5.1 sound, or colour. I mean a 360 without the live subscription would be useless. Why bother. Sony should be hitting harder, marketing wise, with that main difference. Maybe a new "Kevin" ad. Agreed with Luke.

BTW. here is the link to the actual presentation. http://www.irwebcasting.com/091119/11/f6dc1a83b9/index.html I'm always interested in corporate strategy and if you scroll down in the presentation you'll get a lil info on Sony's strategy re: games and 3D etc. yea I just think it’s for “premium content” that they’ll be charging for…I think that most things that are currently standard and free will remain so.

The 3D sony is describing is like in the 3D cinema where objects seem to 'pop-out' of your tv set. If sony would start to charge for services on PSN that are currently standard and available to all, I'll stop using them, no money from me sinlock, are you talking about simulating 3D on a 2D screen, titles like doom and castle wolfenstein being ’3D’ games indeed, simulating 3D using the Z-buffer.

It would seem silly to list that if it just ment games rendered in 3D as that has been standard in gameing systems back to the N64.
