Just an excerpt here:

However, to increase revenues further, we are forced to charge a subscription fee to all PSN users, instead of offering Premium services as an optional subscription. I cannot comment in depth at this time but we are looking at $60 to $80 a year.

Sony will have buttfucked themselves if that's the case, I'm certainly not paying.

I'm not paying for what it offers currently at least, but I don't see them adding anything I would consider worthwhile for a subscription.

hasn't sony said that they will not do it this gen??
