if DRM is as same as the one they have on current PS3 exclusive titles like online pass than I have no issue. If the go the route of xbone one with internet connection mandatory then PS3 will be my last console.. and about online play I have a feeling they will drop the price of PS plus and will introduce a new service including Gaikai and stuff @ the price of PS plus.

But i think Sony should keep online play free that is one thing which differentiated PSN from XBL.

You have the "feeling" they will lower the price?! And will also include Gaikai in ps+ for the current price? I doubt this will work. Sony has to make money off ps+ and Gaikai, they bought it for 400 million...

sort of, what i meant was that Sony will cut some feature from PSplus and will reduce its price from $50 to $20.. and will introduce a new service at 50$ which will include Gaikai and stuff.. Coz if they start to charge for multiplayer, which is one of their Aces this gen, then they have no incentive to ask people to stay on PSN and not to switch on XBL2 in which my opinion people will still think its better coz of its legacy. So to sum up i can see sony charging for Multiplayer access but they will throw in some goodies too.. coz they wont charging for a service which was free and give no incentive 

That's what I said several times. They won't charge for mp only, just like MS doesn't do this, too. They will put many features in this box. Will be interesting in the next weeks, they have to reveal all their plans!
