It's just simply not possible for SONY to keep adding all these features to PSN _and_ not require pay to play online. When the feature list of PSN was simply playstation store, apps, and play online the costs were easily recouped by the residuals from licensing and such.

Now we will have video sharing, Gaikai, _cross game chat_ (finally!), and all the previous features. Something had to give, and in order to do that they decided to recoup all their costs for online gaming by requiring a fee for it.

People who say that online gaming doesn't cost Sony anything are just simply wrong.
