While I agree 100% that Sony can be very evil, especially in their content arm (yeah, lets install root kits to prevent piracy, no one will care) they have done some things right. While they were more expensive, that cost covered included Blu ray, wifi, and 1080p right from the outset. And online play doesn't cost anything.
It will be interesting to see if Sony shifts to follow MS and start charging for things like online play, or if they will use free online services as a way to differentiate themselves.
