I can assure you that the current PSN as you know it will remain a free service. It is something that our competitors don’t offer and something that shows our loyalty to the PlayStation Community. However, Kaz Hirai stated a few months ago that we were looking at a premium service to sit alongside the current free service and that objective has not changed. You’ll learn more about it very soon.

 

 

 

so basically it'll be free for what you have. but if you want to get an upgrade (cross game chat etc) you will have to pay. possibly the 10 dollars a month.

 

Just to be clear, the bolded part is the opinion of the person who started the thread. The Q&A (linked above) does not go into specifics about content or fees.
