Oh boy another topic to let people come in and whine about XBox Live pricing.

Honestly can't wait for the PS4 to start charging for online and hear the reactions then.

I have a feeling they won't. They went through a whole generation without charging for it while Microsoft has been charging for it since the first Xbox. For many people, free online was a deciding factor in their PS3 purchase. Charging for their service would alienate their userbase and may cause many people to turn away and just end up hurting playstation.

If Sony starts charging for online gaming, where would Sony fans turn? Their biggest competitor also charges for online gaming. All Sony has to do is be more competitive. It should be noted most console gamers don't play online much or at all.

 

Sony should NOT be required to charge for online. This is all thanks to Microsoft for forcing this onto the industry. Why do we pay for TV? Because EVERY OTHER TV service also charges. Why is Youtube free? Because every other video streaming service is FREE. Youtube has ads, Microsoft's dashboard does also. Yet Microsoft still feels the need to charge for online? No one charges for online gaming other than Microsoft. If Sony starts to charge, then they have basically given in to Microsoft's BS. They have already fallen into the DLC route that Microsoft set up so I wouldn't be too suprised if they start to charge for online. But deep down, I am hoping Sony doesn't do this.

Really? Then why do millions of console gamers play call of duty every day? I think over a million is a good amount. And just for one game too.
