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.

Why do you care? Oh yeah I know...

Because Live and PSN both need each other. Both push each other. Every time PSN gets close M$ are forced to add more features. Which is great for business. Sooner or later PSN will have a charge. It's not Sony's or M$ fault that these things cost money in R&D and daily running.
