It goes further into the argument of "owning the content." I don't know. I think many of us have given up on the notion of "owning" anything these days when it comes to digital distribution.

Bravia Gets Netflix. What About Playstation 3?
Technologizer — ... as part of a major interface update. John Koller, director of hardware marketing for the Playstation, told GamePro in December that the PS3 would focus on rentals and downloads.
