Even though I'm currently a PS Plus subscriber, I have to admit that I am a bit disappointed that online multiplayer is now going to be tied to a subscription. I personally enjoyed free online multiplayer because I'm more of a multiplatform gamer (gaming PC and consoles), and sometimes I'll go through months where I'll only play on one platform for awhile (e.g., Skyrim on PC, Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii, etc.), and the ability to switch platforms and not have to worry about reactivating subscriptions was a plus for the PS3.
With that said, my biggest concerns regarding the next generation were mandatory online authentications and the ability to borrow/loan games, and Sony managed to allay those concerns.
