SON¥, out of sheer necessity will, sooner rather than later, end up having to make the PSN an experience on par with XBLA, if it wants its gaming divisions (SCE) to be profitable and self-reliant. They're just betting too much of their future in social networking not to succeed at that, and if that is to become a reality, I'm afraid we'll be seeing the introduction of a pay-for-play online experience. For everybody. With the numbers (read earning reports) that SON¥ has been putting out now, and what they have forcasted to put out in the short term, they just cannot afford to go the distance for free. PS fans would do themselves a favor by understanding that, overall, SON¥ is a business, and as such, it's main reason for being is procuring profit and the general welfare of its stockholders, not providing the hordes of fanboys with punchy arguments to brag about to the rest of us. That being said, good news for PSN users!

there are parts of this i agree with but multiplayer shouldn't be pay to play. there should be some other experiances worth having to pay for.

PSN nor XBL have anything worth paying a monthly, or yearly subcription fee for.

OT: street fighter and the heist look great.
