This is a worst news for PS fans to hear...oh noes...

It's so bad nobody is actually reading it in context (well, bar a few calmer souls). Seems like a lot of people only read 'fees' and started running around in a panic.

I normally have zero problems with fees...I pay them all over the place. But as far as I'm concern, ANY subscription based models on PSN is doubletalk. M$ has a tiered system, and you don't need gold to become a member, but there are something exclusive to gold membership. Splitting hair about WHAT exacty those features are is pure nonsense...you either have a subscription based model, or you don't. It's nothing more than Sony trying to attack the strengh of M$, and in failing to succeed at it, has now tried to save some face on their great need to make some profits. Let's look at Home...probably the longest beta test ever....and counting.

Wrong. Let me break it down for you. If MS offered online play for silver youd see gold memberships cease to exist. Its not splitting hairs. People pay for gold to game online. End of story.
To act like people pay for Gold for reasons other than to play online is absurd. I dont think im being sensational when i say 98% of Gold users pay to game online, nothing more, nothing less. Its the cornerstone of the service. Listing all of the other things that come along with it does nothing to change WHY people people pay for it.
