Forums - Sony - PSN: The Fun's Always Free*

ok you're right.

But still, I don't think they will charge for cross game chat.

I sure hope you are right. I certainly don't mind them charging money for optional content. But having to pay for future services like cross game chat or a possible game party mode would be very wrong.
Somehow I have a bad feeling about this annoucement; I hope that the good people at Sony realize that their free online service which offers similar features as Microsoft's pay-service is a unique selling proposition of the utmost importance.

Look at the *, it means of course, subject to change.

Qore, DLC, PSN games, PS1 classics, Movies, etc.

That's what it means.



the * means "playstation console is not free"



cross gaming chat is annoying anyways. Imagine someone on your team talking to someone in another game about irrelevant shit.

Next Expect half the server to go into rage mode.

Just a quick reminder to Sony. Don't you forget it.

 

PS.
"Always Free" doesn't mean "until we decide to charge".

PSS.  The "FUN" may always be free... but that does NOT mean PSN will always be.    Sony isn't stupid.  Fun is something you can get out of anything, it is the personal enjoyment of the individual derived from anything.  That is always free.  PSN on the other... with recent rumors, it seems will be getting paid subscriptions for premium services...

@Staude:  If he was talking to someone on another game using cross game chat, you WOULDN'T hear him.... so to you he'd just be silent.



Apparently fun on PSN: YMMV.

(Your mileage may vary)
