This is why companies that are trying to create their own set-top boxes will fail. How can they compete with gaming consoles?

Personally, I am all about the PS3 and XBOX. I can't stand the Wii.

As far as consumers are concerned, I doubt that they will even realize that their is a new owner. It will be the same as when Coca-Cola purchased Vitamin Water.

As a whole, I welcome this development. This was inevitable and its good to know that framework for using this distribution method is in place. The model in itself is not particularly innovative. It does represent a large step forward in the maturation of entertainment products on the internet. However, most of the underlying technologies that will be used have been around for awhile, this is essentially just a round integrating various tools.

I think that Paypal will never have its own mobile payment system that will dominate the market. Its much more likely that people will use their paypal accounts to coordinate payments across Twitter, and the myriad of other mobile communications applications that will become popular over time. Who wants to link their financial information with every iPhone/Android app that could use payment tools within the social environment that the app creates? Its easier and safer to stick with Paypal.
