Im pretty sure sony wont make a payed subscription 4 PSN because free internet is a key selling point

Assuming it's real (sorry i'm skeptical) said email mentions the upgraded service will have memebership benefits. If this happens i'd say we'll get our free online like always but it's probably kind of like microsofts gold, meaning if we don't pay we'll either have to wait for certainfeatures/content or not even have access to certain features/content.

damn it if those sons-of-B****** do it then im going to the 360

lol you really shouldnt worry about it because Sony said this themselfs that online will always be free.. if this upgrading thingy is true then its probably an opition to us users.. like you can still ahve the free online like your used it and if u want to pay u get exclusive stuff.. personally if the price is something not that high then i dont mind paying

[QUOTE="finalstar2007"]

even so it would be a very cheap trick to dig into our pockets, let's face it it'd be the same thing with a few gimmicks and basic online membership would be drained and refilled with some water

There is some truth to this.

Basically, this is how it will work. THIS IS ONLY A RUMOR!!! Every service available now will still be free (access to the psn store ... online play) but a premium service is being contemplated. Possibly something along the lines of one flat fee per month for unlimited downloads. I don't know about you guys but I'd be happy to give my money to Sony for online play. Padding their pockets only makes it better for the online environment. At least in my opinion.

Dude ... did you even read my post above yours? I put a pretty little link there and everything ... :cry:

Well I hope this doesnt happen as Im buying a ps3 this week so i can have free online and play with mates. It sounds like it could be coming but it could just be an aisian thing perhaps. I mean Sony is suposedly cutting sales in Japan so if they start cutting in most of Asia then maybe this is how they are going to get a nice income?

I'm optimistic that every region will see a price cut. Sony has to work hard to make sure that people are thinking about them and their products this holiday season. A price cut along with a nominal fee for premium goods will be a good way to give a break to the customer while also keeping their pockets lined.

Ive also recieved this email. The link doesnt work for me though. The weird thing is, this email is from Playstation(R) Asia, but it was sent to the email that wwas linked to my old North American account. Is everybody getting it from Playstation(R) Asia, no matter where theyre from?

EDIT: Nevermind, it works now, I just have no idea what to do at the site.

i'd return my ps3, no questions asked. in fact if they started charging for psn thats grey areas for a public suit on false advertisement.

Are you reading what I typed earlier? How would this be grounds for a law suit? They are providing you free online play and access to the playstation store but when they suggest adding an OPTIONAL fee for premium services then people talk lawsuit and boycott? Let me remind you that there has already been an optional service provided on the playstation network. It's call Qore. Are you going to sue Sony for not providing it to everyone? If so, you are months late.

I highly doubt there is going to be a prenium PSN membership service anytime soon.

Exactly! people will have the option to chose.. either stay with the free service OR pay maybe to get lag free connection, free downlaoding for game etc etc.... im paying for this if its $30 a year or less
