I think it's more correct that Sony would prefer you don't put your own content and buy everything from them. Why wouldn't they prefer that?
But I think that since they have offered conduits for getting other content on the device, they've at least capitulated.
I do think there are some interesting parallels, but one thing Gem didn't have that I'm sure Sony has thought about extensively is that ... well ... Gem isn't Sony. Who's Gem? I dunno. But I know who Sony is: maker of the Playstation, the Walkman, and good televisions. (I'm not offering an opinion here on Sony products, rather I think that this is what most people think of them.)
