I'm more curious as to how they are going to price the service.
In the world of streaming, paying for individual items seems...outdated.
Services like Netflix, Spotify, Rdio, Hulu, etc. are successful because content is "unlimited". I just pay a fee per month, and I can try out/play whatever I desire. Sure, I don't "own" the content when it's done, but "ownership" in this modern digital economy is completely overrated. I think the public is slowly waking up to this fact.
With Sony looking to unify their SEN platform, it only makes sense to me that they see this as a "Games Unlimited" platform, similar to "Music Unlimited" and "Video Unlimited"
Would be nice if they managed to package all of this content together and pay one fee per month for all of the services. It would be another great way for them to leverage their catalog in films, music, and games to entice people to gravitate towards their service rather than the service of others.
If the service is pay per item, I'm not going to be interested. But if they position this as the "Netflix for games" I could really see them having huge success, provided the service has little to no lag and decent video quality.
