Too add, with PlayStation Plus they don't née to charge. Right now Plus is a platform they are charging people to use. All the free games and discounts they offer are controllable by them allowing them to control the expected cost trade off of provide game X to be free. Plus also provides a far superior method of advertisement, allowing discounting and showcasing on at least a weekly basis. Even a free game can bolster sales for a title through the advertisement to non Plus members and word of mouth from Plus members. Plus also doesn't concentrate on brand new releases allowing forgetten gems to shine again. The incentives for it now are huge, they might change in the future but it will still provide value. If Plus obtains enough subscribers the need for a pay for online service would not exist.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
