PS3 Online Launch Woes
As if Sony needed any more negative press, rumor has it that most launch titles for the PS3 will have very little online content or gameplay. Developers are frustrated at the lack of support they have thus far received from Sony in this area, and many have supposedly decided to entirely drop the online component from their titles. There is still time for some of these issues to be addressed, but that time is quickly running out.
Considering a) these new online issues, b) expected unit shortages at launch, and c) a very high price-point, Sony seems to be relying heavily on consumer brand recognition to help carry the PS3 through the early stages of the its lifespan. Only time will tell if that strategy works, but Microsoft and Nintendo must be quietly (or loudly) excited.

[...] SHSIBAE reports that downloadable movies are headed our way, and they could be here as early as the end of November. Feature length high definition movies will be available for download to any member of Xbox LIVE who is willing to spend $4 on a rental. Apparently the movies will remain on your hard drive for several weeks or until you watch the entire thing, at which point, it is presumed to be automatically deleted from your hard drive. [...]
