I am telling you with all the news about them wanting to be an entertainment console. They will charge for online and PS+ together. All you apps will be free viewing so you can still have an entertainment hub. Microsoft makes to much money doing it. Sony would be stupid not to go this route.

They're not going to do that. I would bet on it.

Even if they did though, Playstation Plus is such a great value and I would gladly pay for it to play online.(If I wasn't already)

It isn't like it is helping Sony. They are neck n neck is sales. So it isn't like Sony is ahead by 5 million consoles due to free online gaming. Microsoft makes a bazzilion dollars from Gold members. Why wouldn't Sony want that?

Because free online was a big selling point for PS3 and it could be the difference between someone picking up a PS4 or an XBox 720.

Both companies have their market now. There is to many things like friends, achievments/trophies, and games that people are to invested in to fully switch. Why would people switch if they both cost money? Your friends and everything are on a certain system and people will stay on that system regardless.
