Any PS3 fan who thought that Sony could operate PSN for free was dreaming. Sony were dreaming. Just way to many wages to pay to the hundreds of people daily involved in PSN or Xbox Live. PS3 sells at a loss, so no money made from there, means they constantly bleed money. For a service like PSN to remain around for another 4-5 years they have to have a paid subscription. M$ are ok, because they told there customersthis from day 1. Sony know they have to introduce it, they are gonna make it as painless as possible. But then $50 a year is peanuts guys. So it's no big deal.
