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!

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".
