I seriously don't understand some of you people saying you wouldn't pay to play online. It costs less than 10 cents a day to play on xbox live ( last 13 months costed me 29.99 ). The service is well worth that much money to play! And I am certain the same could be said for PSN if need be. Yes it would suck to have to pay it, but its a good service in the long run and well worth the $.
PSN and Live both cost a lot of money to sustain and make better. So I can understand that Sony wants a new revenue stream coming in. No matter what you think of Microsoft they really have gotten it right with Live. And I feel like paying a small amount of money to continually improve the service is well worth it.

I was thinking about it the other day, and it really is smart what they've done. Don't the offer a free month or two of Live when you purchase an XBOX? So they sell their console for cheap, which is appealing, then offer their excellent service for free, and then when it comes time that they have to purchase Live, two things happen. 1) They enjoy the service so much that they want to continue it. 2) They don't want to go through the trouble of selling their XBOX and buying a PS3[and that is only if they even know that PSN is a free service]. So thus they get the sales and also probably $50 a year for Live.
However, I would never pay to play online, so I will never buy an XBOX.

I don't think anyone was trying to convert you over to buying an xbox, I certainly wasn't.
I just don't think .10 cents a day or less is a big deal. Since PSN will allow you to play online for free I am certain they will add a lot of value to the service to make it even more appealing. Win Win in my opinion.
