"playstation has made it official they will be making psn-users to pay for online play. this will start on the 1-12-09. a message has been sent to playstation they said if they see a protest message (this message) sent 500.000 times by the date they will keep psn free so please send this to all and i mean all!!! your friends because no one wants to pay for online play. this is the only way to keep psn free so please send it to your friends, remember to put the subject as important protest."

and

"attention all psn members! PSN has finally reached over one million registered members and now we would like to see if more than half the members are active! chain this letter to as many friends you can, and if the chain letter has been sent to over half of the amount of registered players, everyone who participated will receive $50 for the playstation store! this event will end on oct 31, 2009, so good luck! our database will track all the messages sent so do not worry!"

I find this hilarious, 50$ for 500,000 participants would be worth 25million dollars :D

---------------------

Does anyone else get these spam posts regularily? If you do please tell them to stop spreading these...I find it annoying when I get messages from people I do not know...and I allways keep telling them that these are just stupid chain letters people like to make up and send around.

I got the first one once, I just blocked the sender and moved on.

I hear you, it's as bad the "Send this to 50 people for MS points" or "MICKAL MEYARS COD4!".

I myself never got anything like this?! l:0(

Yeah I just started getting them, annoying stuff.
I told my friend they have not announced that they are charging for the PSN!
He said you never know.
I said hell yeah I know, it would be all over the net.

Yah i hear ya, i get them too and i try to reply to them as much as possible and tell em off lol... im actually considering starting my own chain message that says "stop sending lame chain messages" wouldn't that be ironic lol...

First post btw, im new.

I still haven't gotten one

I got a few, but quickly solved the problem by cleansing my friends list of stupid.

PS3 only does every thing, include spamming your message box

Sony was going to make us pay for the psn.

But thatx to me and other caring fans we saved you all and sent this messages to 10 of our friends

Its true i have less friends on the psn now...but hey its still free

Now lets hope i get into MW2 beta..
