Is that really worth it, as a European? Customs won't like this....Then why would anybody not import one from the US? It's so much cheaper here.

You know the PS3 actually won last generation right? Well I mean between the ps3 and the 360. The wii actually sold the most.
The exact same hardware continues to stay the same price. If they switch it out for an alternative (or cut out a huge chunk like they did with the PS3), then it is less expensive.
The one thing I HATE about E3 conferences is there's always one game they ride mercilessly. This year it was Watch_Dogs. Three conferences had it. I like Watch_Dogs but I don't want THREE showings of it.
And while yes it's definitely a bad thing to require subscription for online, PS+ is already a great service and I think people should use it regardless. You'll be getting free games across 3 platforms and you already get pretty good sales as well.
The main argument you are basing this off of is that Sony's current online system sucks, which is valid. But now that they are forcing you to buy PS+ to play online ($5 a month I believe, same as Xbox Gold without any bundles) they can use that money to (hopefully) upgrade the experience on those server to rival Microsoft's. Servers aren't cheap to run, and right now Sony's live system is like every other subscription based system: the subscribers are paying for everything while the rest freeload. Now that online is a premium service, we should (hopefully) get premium quality.
I do have to say on the PS+ thing, at least it's not required for media (unlike the Xbox) so you can still Netflix and whatnot without a subscription. Really useful if you find your gaming usage is dwindling down but your media usage does not.
