The issue here is Microsoft are successful with their online proposition where as it's cost Sony a fortune running theirs. One of these models is sustainable long term, the other isn't you do the maths. I guarantee you Sony will charge for PSN when they release the PS4, they've had no choice this gen as they had to use free PSN as a selling point to justify the higher price point of the PS3.
I personally think they should open up party chat to silver members, I'm sure that would bring in some extra sign ups when people realise the fun they miss out by just being a silver account.
