Always thought Live would go free rather than PSN getting priced. Anyway, I think you'l still be able to game on PSN for free, but Cross Game Chat etc will only be available to premium users. I think the subscription cost will be quite cheap aswell (~£15).

Not all 360 games are P2P, L4D2 has servers, and so does Battlefield.

i wouldn't mind paying for psn if it was worth it, it depends on what additional features and content it is offering. I think sony will never charge for online as it is their advantage to live and they have marketed the hell out of free online gaming to just let millions of their fans and their trust go to waste....

Both are EA games. EA takes care of their own games and doesn't want Microsoft touching them.

Hmm that explains the lag. L4D2 lags like a mofo with dedicated servers.

lol. Well I think EA does know how to get too few servers first week. I heard BF1943 was the same.

PSN will always be free.
developers pay for their servers and download bandwith.

Well I'm glad that's been clarified.

Why's that? Cuz XBL goldmembers pay? That's the exception, not the rule.

If Sony tries to milk me for PSN I'll just tell them the same thing I told MS:

"I don't pay for sex, water or online gaming". ;)

as long as gaming is still free I see no problem in this. I will NEVER pay for online gaming.
