Hahahaha, it was only a matter of time before Sony tried to add subscriptions in there somewhere. I mean its pretty clear Home didn't recoup the costs it takes to maintain their network. And if these subscriptions are limited to some small special features, it probably won't be enough either, and they'll add more subscription fees to more general features.

tell me where you get your figures? Home has been VERY successful. Server costs does not cost 1 million dollars, and Sony gets advertisement revenue.

psn and subscriptions? who says?

 

Recently on some corporate event (shareholders conference call? shareholder lunch? I don't know exactly) they were talking about plans to increase psn revenue throu subscriptions, although they didn't explain exactly. 

It might be a flat fee to play whatever psn game, a movie subscription ala netflix, an online fee ala Gold... who knows.

subscritions... umm Qore, Netflix, other services. They will never charge for online gaming.

Yes, and bishops are never found dead at whorehouses.

Faith is such an incredible thing. Sony will do whatever it needs to do to return to profitability. They've already broken promises made to customers and if needed they will do it again because they are a for profit transnational corporation.

Well, if we can't rely on what has actually been said ('PSN will remain free as it is now'), why bother relying on anything...

They also said BC was a core value of what PlayStation is and that they were commited to it.

I can't believe you guys are actually swallowing PR bullshit coming from these huge corporations. No one, neither Nintendo nor Microsoft nor Sony is "on your side". They are all just interested on their bottom line. That's because there's actual people calling the shots and these guys will get fired if the bottom line doesn't look good.

Well, Nintendo is equally evil, right? So I suppose Nintendo is going to charge for online, too?

And Microsoft is going to cut the three year warranty?

And Sony is going to launch a nuke to destroy America?

We don't have any evidence for any of these things, so there's no point in speculating about them.

Kaz already said that they will never charge for online gaming. He said that after the meeting. Fail thread x1000.
