It felt a bit harsh realising that the PS4 won't work as a media streamer, so I got myself a Raspberry PI and set up Xbian. I'm so impressed with it! It's much more reliable than my PS3 was, I can control it from my Android phone, and I'm sure it's going to have masses of tinker value. On the paying for online/PS+ thing - this is a drop in the ocean for us HN readers no doubt, but the people I think it will affect most are younger people who don't have the disposable income. Eg, my nephew's 13, and he games online with his mates all the time on games which they play forever. £40/year for him and his mates will probably be a bit of a block. Maybe Sony could have come up with a light option which didn't give you all the free games and stuff?
