“Especially in the online area, we are studying the possibility of introducing a subscription model, offering premium content and services, in addition to the current free services.”

Online gaming will remain free.

Thank you. That's what i meant. This was earlier in the year. A premium service being added on with the current service still in-tact.

PSN is NOT going to cost money! That would be the single stupidest business plan imaginable!

For the ten trillionth time, this is for PREMIUM SERVICES. Qore. Similar subscriptions. Premium avatars/themes. ETC.
