Furthermore the more they sucker in with the service, the more they will start to offer services as PSN only. One PSN subscription is just one more vote for them to turn PSN into Xbox Live.

this sums it up

Until PS has more users than regular PSN...I doubt it would happen. Sure...you may be able to get 3-4M to get it, but what about the other 30M that don't subscribe? I don't that smaller amount of users outweighs the amount of people who DON'T want to subscribe

Your logic is completely wrong. If they manage to get a few million subscribers on PS-Plus than they'll definitely charge for online play. Sony is slowing making the transition, just enjoy free online play while you have it. Or hope it'll be around for the life of the PS3.

They'll definitely start to charge? Then watch active users on PSN just dwindle and all the revenue they make from free PSN users buying so much digital content drop to nothing.

Edit: 30M buying $100s of content > 3-4M paying $50. If Sony is smart, they wouldn't mandate a subscription

Are you aware the Xbox 360 sells tons of content even though you have to pay for a gold account?

Sony fans would be angry at first. But they'll stay and start paying for PSN Plus in droves. Xbox Live didn't become a success in a day.

Yea...but PSN became a success BECAUSE it was free. Take away its main selling point, then what? That's like taking multiplayer away from Live
