For about the billionth time Kotaku isn't credible, because their source vetting is a fucking joke. These are the same guys who took the words of SuperDae as gospel truth. That guy just isn't credible he is actually incredible. He has performed a number of crazy stunts, and made some outrageous claims. This is the guy that claims he was going to sell a 720 development kit over Ebay, but nobody has ever seen it, and apparently nobody has found out where he supposedly got it. Which is strange, because he also claims to have met representatives from Microsoft. Yeah he was so important they had to have a lunch date with him.

Not 100% true.

Kotaku rumors should be taken with a grain of salt but theyve broken MAJOR stories and have some serious pull in gaming media. They revealed Screenshots, artwork, and story details on MW3 months before it was even announced. They were the first outlet to reveal Playstation Home. In fact they breal news all the time.

Sometimes they are wrong but they definitley have some big connections

Online gaming will be still free, otherwise the source would indicate that directly !

And with more rumors about BC with Gaikai, it would be:
- PS++: all features of PS+ of now + new features + BC Gaikai unlimited
- PS+: all features of PS+ of now and new features
- No PS+: like now = online gaming free

Online Gaming at the basic level has to remain free.

If people want cross game chat, parties, ect. that should be part of the paid subscription. Older gamers have lives and don't get on enough to justify paying for online play. I play games with relatives that only play 5 hours online all year. If the basic online gameplay is not free those people will not play online, and may not even purchase the games.

Additionally, things like Netflix, Amazon Instant, MLB.TV, ect. should be available without paying. Sony can still have plenty of juicy features that make it a must have service, cloud saves, discounts on select content across all of SEN, Early access to content, more stats tracked on PlayStation.com, ect.

Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

From kotaku latest rumor about the PS4:

"Orbis is also following the path first set by Xbox Live: our source says "most" of the PS4's online features will require a premium subscription to use. Sony's new online service will be called PlayStation World, our source says, replacing PlayStation Plus."

http://kotaku.com/5985356/source-the-ps4-will-be-out-this-november-and-youll-be-able-to-control-it-with-your-phone

I hope this is not true at all.

It will not be like Gold man, gaming online will be free as always.

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

You will have to pay for online. What they will make free is viewing Netflix and the apps like it because Xbox makes you be a Gold for everything. Here if you don't want to play online gaming you can still watch your apps for free.
