"Well, PS3 supported these "features" out of the box from launch"
Oh does it???
PS3 cannot playback .WMA files yet alone Plays for Sure video and audio.

My PS3 with Firmware 1.7 plays WMA just fine, along with MP3, ATRAC and AAC.

ATRAC (.oma .msa .aa3), AAC (.3gp .mp4), MP3 (.mp3), WAV (.wav), WMA (.wma)

I think you meant to say it doesn't support WMV files, which it doesn't and is a pain in the A** because most high quality downloadable videos (PS3 game reviews, etc.) are only available in WMV or Quicktime, NEITHER of which is supported on the PS3. They licensed WMA from Microsoft they need to license WMV too. I will say though that the PS3 supports DIVX which gives them a good advantage in what I would call "medium quality" video playback.

I stand corrected on the .WMA playback on a PS3 but it still does not support Plays For Sure video and audio if I'm not mistaken.
Now all the PS3 needs is:
A scaler so folks with 720p or 1080i only TV sets don't get screwed out of half the HD functionality of thier PS3.
Something to compete with Xbox Live Video Marketplace
$200 price drop
Oh and did I mention Games?
