There was a thread about PS+ subs going up %295 and some other thing. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=150666&page=1# To me, this is Sony testing the water and preparing to charge for online sometime next generation, (Pay2play), so, if they say 10 year plan on ps4, 2023-2024 depending on launch. I'm willing to bet FULL SIG control for a year if: A) Sony never releases a pay to play model of any sort for the PS3 or the new gen's PS4. B) I'm still active on this site!! LOL!! I win if: A) Sony release a Pay to Play online system for the PS4 or earlier. Simple. I will take alterations to the stipulations, or at least consider them. |
When you talk pay to play do you mean restrict online multiplayer to a pay service? I'd take that bet and I don't take bets.
Sony is far more likely to provide additional features to the PS+ model why limiting new features to the basic model. Just like they are doing with the cloiud, with timed trials, and with automatic updates. I believe that the added discounts, the leverage of free games, and the subscription fee provides plenty of revenue or pofits to maintain the service. As is the service is making PlayStation stand out as consumers choice and aiding in the transition to all digital. PS+ will start to gather such a large menu of additional features over non members that it won't need to restrict online play.
Suddenly removing the online multiplayer compenent to their basic entry level will cause a huge backlash even if the PS+ offerings are substantial. Sony has proven this gen that an online platform is substainable without a required fee, software sales are testiment to it.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
