  I assume that this web store will launch simultaneously with Google's Chrome OS, where it will make lots of sense for you to use their store to browse for games, apps, themes, and everything else. It also seems that we're moving to a place where people are happy to pay $0.50 for a game if they know that paying means the developer will make more.

  Centralized so you don't have to go to multiple places to get your gaming fix (if you like a lot of games rather than just a couple), gamesaves and badges/achievements are centrally located and saved in the cloud for gaming anywhere and on any platform, no downloads, consistent UI, more games to browse = better discovery of new games. I'm guessing this service will also have a both a friend list (connected via facebook, twitter or whatever) and/or a lounge or lobby where gamers can make/meet friends and start-up a group game, or just chat in general. Can't really get a critical mass of these at individual game sites.
