Forums - Sony - Sony Exec: PSN may not always be free

JSF said:
I thought Playstation Network was to be funded via advertising and marketing partners? Charging for it would be a bad move, unless it was for an ad-free account with no other differences.

Also, my opinion is that they will not charge for it anytime soon.  This will cause Xbox Live to drop its subscription fee.  As a result of that, Sony won't have the option to charge in the future either.  All gamers win.

I think this is mostly true. What I do think they intended to say is that some containts like music, HD videos and so on will cost money. I think that the article might simple be quoted a little bit wrong.

About the trolling issue: I don't think it is trolling as long as people discuss it, and those that bring up the subject answer to well asked questions and not run and hide. Something that some of the more extreme N-fans and Sony-fans on this site sometimes does. I myslef find it very frusturating when I make an counter argument and people choice to ignore it and continue with the same argument.

Naysaying the PS3 is trolling I guess *shrugs*. I honestly don't see how this is even naysaying though. Why is paying for online that big a deal? I didn't even see Sony fans bragging about it being free to begin with. A whole lot of fuss over nothing.
