And if the XBox Live service works very well why shouldn't other companies copy it? You seem to forget that the XBox Live concept isn't original either, many people compared the service to Gamespy Arcade when the XBox came out, and with good reasons to do so I might add.

I just hope they don't call it "Sony Live" that would be too obvious. I still don't get the whole Web Browser / Photo capabilities, who wants to do that with their gaming console? PC anyone? you wrote- "have to admit that Sony's online platform seems more attractive right now than the XBox Live service."
