Does Sony really have an interest in "outcheaping" Microsoft as far as online goes?

Microsoft managed to make people pay for something that is free on PCs and suddenly you consider Sony's option the cheap one ?
I guess Microsoft did its marketing really well..

Otherwise I have no issue paying for additional services, but charging people for a service that hardly costs you is pushing it...Online should be free. I'm ok paying for a service that comes with discounted games and other things..

Steam does everything PS+ does and does it for free.

Really?....how so?

Are you familar with Steam? What feature does PS+ have that Steam does not?

I edited this post and secondly, what does the PC offering have to do with a fair console offering thats being competitive with another console? Steam only gives for free (to the best of my knowledge) what games are already free to play on PC. The discounts are what people periodically wait for. PSN Plus has its own charm. They are not the same. None of the companies offerings are the same.
