Is the consumer forced to suck it up and realise that what they have now purchased is limited to a number of games, online game play and any future features? This forces the consumer to put a value on his or her rights. How much is your rights worth? Well if you still want to continue to be a free human being (atleast to the extent of what we are lead to believe) then you will not give up these rights. So what is left? You either realise now just how limited your purchased product is (PS3) and live with it, or you sell it. Well this isnt exactly going to satisfy the majority. You have now given greater reason for jailbreaking (what you OWN through PURCHASE) and for some, piracy. So in the end, they create more of exactly what it is they dont want. Just a thought (but might be a good idea to make note of), these are testing grounds for just what it is they can get away with. One of the steps to giving up total freedom. If the results are promising, you can bet there will be a lot more of it and worse. It is pure trickery to lead one into giving up their rights, much like signing your soul over to the devil.

I thought they wanted piracy? I mean, piracy pushes sales...that is a simple truth.
