Don't worry guys, head back for the bridges trolls. It's only going to be additional things.

for the moment.
This sounds like they are gearing folks up to eventually have to pay like live.
Any way it must cost them a fortune to maintain the service free.



 

 

 

 

^so bring in ads. Online on the pc is free. Online on the ps3 better remain free. I wouldn't pay to play my games. That's why I don't play mmo's beyond closed/open betas too :p

Yup. I expect them to do the same as live. They had to keep PSN free all this time due to the previous cost of PS3. I mean, early adopters would've been really screwed paying a high price plus paying for access to content!



good job jaz hirai or watever lol



Around the Network

If PSN does cost money i won't be paying it. Paying for internet twice is a joke...

They mentioned this a while back. Guess they're near ready to implement it. For us who don't care, it will feel like nothing happened. Just SONY adding another option for a premium service about "More content for less money".
