Is that weird?

I mean it's free and it took like 45 seconds to download, so it's nbd, but it just seems a little odd

Nah, not the PS3. Stop pretending to know what you're talking about.

Yeah, Microsoft did the same thing with the DVD Remote on the OG Xbox.
DVD and Bluray playback requires a fee to the owner groups, by forcing you to download an app they only need to pay a fee based on how many that downloads it instead of how many units they sell, which in theory means a cheaper system for the consumers.

Neither did the PS4. No idea what he was talking about.

The PS4 had it as well.

Your PS4 system must enable the disc playback feature over the Internet, one time only, before you can play any BDs or DVDs. After this feature is enabled, your PS4 system doesn't have to connect to the Internet to play BDs or DVDs.

That's totally the same as downloading an app.

From Sonys point of view?
Yes, it registers how many users that enables DVD/Bluray playback, the difference is that Sony hides the download you need better than Microsoft.
