I get so bored of the argument that PSN is free. There's no such thing as "free". You're still paying for PSN in some way, be it an extra $1 or $.50 on every PSN purchase they have, in first-party titles staying $5 more for a few more weeks, in initial purchase price of consoles ($599!), convincing you to leave your PS3 for two years to "fold at home" and then selling your processing power back to others, in the time it takes to download stuff and update PSN and the like, etc. etc. It's not like PSN is being completely written off as a free service for its customers by Sony. They are in it to make a profit. Just because you don't plop down $40 for an Amazon code for 12 months of PSN basic doesn't make it free.

Hidden costs are just as real as surface costs.

Ahahahahaha!

Wait...You're not joking?
