One of the many reasons why I chose to trade my 360 for a PS3 (not trying to start a war) - I just don't feel $60 a year is worth it for the addition of cross-game chat . I'm so happy that Sony has stayed committed to offering the PSN for free. Out of good measure, if I receive a PSN card, I will subscribing to PS . I have been wanting too for a while now, but I had to wait to see what exactly it would offer me in the coming months - and so far, i'm impressed.
