It appears that the ongoing rumors about Sony's soon-to-be revealed PlayStation Plus "revamp" are true.

Sony has now displayed the teasing information for all to see on the PlayStation website. Although it only manages to tell people to tune in to their pre-E3 2012 Press Conference this Monday, it does also mention "the future of PlayStation Plus". Of course, with this now public on their website, talks around the internet regarding the possible GaiKai or OnLive deal will continue to rage on all the way into the Sony pre-E3 press conference at 6:00PM Monday afternoon.

What if the future of Playstation Plus is that it takes online multiplayer from the free service? Unlikely, but it sure would help Sony get out of the red.



that has been up on their site for a while now..

LA is -8 GMT and we are currently in Daylight Savings Time. That means it's -7 GMT.

No, future of online gaming is Xbox Live Online being free, not the other way around.

(seriously it should have been free from the get go, its not 1994 anymore)

Surely this is trolling? You think they would advertise something like that?

Are you serious? Making online gaming a paid service will not net Sony billions of dollars per year. The PlayStation division is making a profit btw.



It's almost certainly the Gaikai deal.

They're not going to take a service that used to be free (online multiplayer) and start charging for it, because that is PR suicide.

I agree, they should charge. It might piss people off but it would be good business sense really. Not like everyones gonna sell there console. That said I don't expect them to do it this gen if at all they will do it next gen.
