I can assure you that the current PSN as you know it will remain a free service. It is something that our competitors don’t offer and something that shows our loyalty to the PlayStation Community. However, Kaz Hirai stated a few months ago that we were looking at a premium service to sit alongside the current free service and that objective has not changed. You’ll learn more about it very soon.

so basically it'll be free for what you have. but if you want to get an upgrade (cross game chat etc) you will have to pay. possibly the 10 dollars a month.

Just wanted to point out that sony Confirmed that if ever cross game voice chat comes, you will absolutely NOT have to pay for it

Just to be clear, the bolded part is the opinion of the person who started the thread. The Q&A (linked above) does not go into specifics about content or fees.

Cross game chat will have to be free. It would be a broken and near useless feature if only subscribers could use it.

that's like saying: "Online Gaming will have to be free. It would be a broken and near useless feature if only subscribers could use it."

oh...wait...

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
