This announcement went right over my head. Sneaky bastards.

It's bullshit, and is entirely unneeded.

PS+ is worth it the price on its own to many, many people. No need to fuck over the few that aren't interested by locking multiplayer behind its paywall.

/is PS+'d up for the next two years already

It was that or DRM or online passes and similar nonsense. I honestly prefer it this way

I think it's a nice trade for a bunch of free games and goodies, no online passes, being able to play used games, and a low price tag.

You had me with NO DRM but you had to say PAYWALL...

Its not too bad, considering the PS4 itself is launching for $399.

Look at what Sony is offering, with the streaming of games, spectators and whatnot.  It is more demanding that what they had been doing, and thus it looked like FULLY ramping up to have people pay.

told u guys. PS+ was used to subsidize the PS4

Pacther has been saying this for a long time.

And the hypocrisy of a million Sony fans begins....

With that being said this definitely the right move for Sony. It will give them the level playing field they have desperately needed with Xbox live and pricing. Ms has been able to use live as huge leverage on the financial end to keep profits up and price low.

This is a good move by Sony just a lot of fans are going to have to eat some crow.

Terrible decision by sony. The decision to get a PS4 which seemed so easy now seems very difficult. Can't buy something that will lock my game's component unless I pay every year, regardless of what I get in return because we already pay for the game in the first place.
