There will be ALWAYS Free Online gaming on PS3.
Maybe they will start charge for dedicated servers, but P2P will be always free.
Sony is planning to release more online games, i mean MMO stuff, and if they will chargem, then liek Warcraft do, a monthly fee. This is the worst case.
Anyway, i would pay only for a new FFXIII MMO game on White Engine.
Besides, till PS3 won`t outsell x360 in USA by a LOT, there won`t be any fee.
So, you can relax till late 2009 atleast. =)
