a lot of those arguments are bullshit though, sounds like it was written by an angry xbox fanboy who has read 'how to argue a point like a religious, corporate or government spokesperson'
I value privacy and the right to use things i've paid for in a fair non monopolistic manner over slightly bigger game-worlds. a lot of those arguments focus on insulting the person who disagrees and using the flawed 'if you have nothing to hide why do you need privacy' logic that governments both sides of the pond have been using to erode everyones civil liberties under the guise of doing it to benefit them.
the sheer fact sony have produced a comparable system without having to resort to such tricks just highlights that microsoft were trying to cut corners and if they truly wanted to innovate they could easily have done so without the need for shortcuts that massively inconvenience the end user and provide just as fucked up a user experience as all of their other offerings since windows xp.
