Is Microsoft lying to their customers about Playstation Network ?

If Sony start charging for PSN they kind of killed the PS3, no way i'll pay o play online, I'll just go back to PC, if Sony are not real stupid then they won't do it. And I guess they'll never.

I'm not sure I'd subscribe either. While I wouldn't declare "I'll only game on PC" SCE would have to give me more reason to subscribe other than to receive the same service I've been using sporadically for the past four years.

I suppose PSN Plus in addition to overall improvements to the service would be fair, but most probably just want basic online play. As unusual as it may sound (since it's so fashionable to dog Home), if they made Home a part of PSN Plus, that would probably be the tipping point in my decision to subscribe

Nah by "I'll go back to PC gaming" I mean that I don't want to bother subscribing to something to play online. I don't have much time to play on PS3,  I had 6 months without turning my PS3 on, or just one week end. And I don't want to be like "fuck I wasn't aware I could play this week end, should I suscribe for this month or bla bla bla", see what I'm saying? That's why I'll never suscribe to Live if I ever get a 360.

With PSN remaining free I can decide when I want to play, and when I don't, and also don't say myself "shit I paid 1 month and played 1 week" when I can't play much.

As simple as that.

This is exactly one of my biggest reasons for sticking with the PS3 instead and dumping Live and the 360 altogether. There would be no way I'd even consider owning a 360 without Live. All of their exclusives have mainly strong multiplayer components, and weak offline components. Yes Gears of War has a great single player campaign, and of course you have Fable, but other then that who would pay $60 to just play a 3-6 hour Halo campaign and NOT go online afterwards.

Sorry for sounding like such a fanboy in my post here, but that is just my opinion on this whole Live vs PSN crap. The PSN is there for when I need and when I want it. I don't have to worry about making sure I get my $60 worth out of it if I don't play any game online for weeks or months at a time.
