Analysts: Sony could defray costs by stripping down PSN’s free services

[Scrubs42]

I envision Sony putting PSN into tvs Blu ray players and laptops so the service just wouldn't be limited to gamers. Sony can make more money thru tv buyers that want Vudu Netflix Hulu Cinema Now by offering PSN to the mass consumers thru PSN subscription service.

This, However we got to stop think of PSN as PSN. It's now SEN. Sony Entertainment Network.

If they did go to an all paid tier system, I would see interesting in having a tier that would allow you access to PS+, Netflix, VUDU and other subscription services. The fact is you have currently we have to pay twice to get access sub services, ISP and the Service.
I can't see many people wanting to pay thrice, ISP, SEN, Sub Service.

If Sony could strike a deal with these Sub Services I would imagine a lot of people would probably take up the more expensive option to have access to many of these Sub Services and to be able to play online aswell.

However someone mentioned earlier their 360 is a dust collector due to sub fees.
I can see this happening to the PS3 aswell for casual gamers who might only have time to play less than 10 hours a week of their favourite game (most casual game out there is COD, and the only replayablitly in that is online) saying it's not worth the cost.

Our Sony Bluray Player + Surround Sound System has an XMB screen similar to the PS3, yet I never use it, as to access the internet I need to buy a SONY bluray player dongle and there is nothing there that interests me. However I would warrant a purchase if my Subscription SEN account would allow me access to Netflix + Music. Then I could be playing in the other room, while my girlfriend is watching a movie. (However that would have to allow the same account signed into two devices, must be a way around that, surely allowing it if they are on the same network/router)
