I just want to give Sony a big thank you for caving in and charging for online play. If they would have stayed free, think of how much it would have affected the pricing of all this. They're destroying Microsoft this generation and I can't possibly comprehend XBL still costing what it does had they offered a free alternative. Nintendo likely wouldn't have charged anything at all.

Of course, that is all speculation on my part. But it bugs me that we're now all about to be forced into paying to play online no matter which console we choose. And if you're someone who plays online games on all three? That's now going to cost $140.00 full price a year. With PC being totally free... it's such a kick in the balls.
