I was actually more than a little surprised when I read this just a few minutes ago...

Okay and breathe.  I don't actually own an XBox 360 but this is just one more reason that I'm starting to think I should.  I'm not quite sure what the implication of the "subscription" that the page talks about is but hopefully it won't be too restrictive.  Both Microsoft and Nintendo now have a decent casual games story for their platforms (at least I'm assuming the arcadey type features of the Wii will allow good casual gaming), where's Sony in all this?  They may just be staying very tight lipped but I hope they have a good online presence figured out, one that includes casual games.  I'm a firm believer that having all 3 of the major consoles be healthy is a good thing.  More choices will keep the development teams innovating and creating cool new stuff for all us gamers.
