So what am I paying $50 for then? That doesn't help run the expensive online service? And it sounds like they are only having a "few" complaints about this?
In my opinion either
A) Charge $50 for the Service and give the extra content free

But you know what...Sony said Fu*k it and lets just give them free crap since they bought the system...I give Sony major props for this.
