I think that's a solid set of updates (the Netflix thingy in particular) but I wouldn't discount what Sony may say today. They are likely to launch a download service, Home and we already know they have PVR functionality lined up. Maybe they even plan to beef up their browser & Flash plugin so they don't need an "exclusive" deal to stream Netflix movies.
About Netflix, Is it some quirk of the rental model that Netflix that lets them stream a movie they send to you in the post or did they toss a few $$$ at studios to let them stream their older titles? Streaming seems to be only available on a subset of titles so maybe some titles are just cheaper to stream than post on disc.
