Sony getting away with paid online is the greatest current gen achievement so far.

Funny how the same people who complained about M$ putting online multiplayer and other features behind a paywall since day 1 with XBL have absolutely no issues with Sony now doing the same with PSN this generation because "free games"... even though you don't actually OWN the games, it's just a glorified rental system for as long as you have a PS+ subscription. Meanwhile, "Games With Gold" games on XBL actually are free to own even after you let your Gold subscription expire, so you don't have to purchase them outright like you do on PSN if you're not a subscriber, thereby negating any perceived advantage of PS+ over XBL.

Not true for Xbox One games. You can play those also just while your Gold subscription is active.
