As the title says if sony charged $60 per year like Microsoft does to play games online would you be able to afford it or would you just ditch cnsole gaming entirely?...as an XBL user i have to say although at first its a drag to pay $5 per month you just lear to brsh it off and appreciate some of the perks that come with charge for online play.

If I wasn't such a trophy whore I'd be happy to ditch online gaming, since I don't enjoy it and rarely participate in it. But you need online to get all the trophies for a lot of game these days, so I suppose I'd have to pay it.

I could care less if they charge for PSN "gaming", as I don't game online and hog their servers or whatnot. Now, if it comes down to requiring a fee for accessing the store or using the network to activate game codes or get DLC, well yeah that's a bit different...

At first I would protest and complain, but then I'd reluctantly shell out the cash.

I don't really play my PS3 online. I don't know if I would pay for it. I could if I wanted to.

or would you just ditch cnsole gaming entirely?

Yes, if Sony charged for online I would throw out my PS3, 360, Wii, Xbox, PS1, PS2, Saturn, Sega CD, Genesis, N64, and SNES.

This isn't system wars, discussing hypothetical questions is pointless.

Right, because that's what I said right? :?

Don't hurt your head trying to read between the lines when there isn't anything to be read into. I gave an opinion and pointed out the fact that this topic is more suited for SW.

It's a topic about the PS3 with the assumption that the reader is a PS3 owner. Seems like a reasonable fit for the PS3 board.

Also, if your only actual input in a thread is "this thread sucks." You could just not post. That's an option, I hear.

I pay for plus as it is so it would make no difference to me.

You'd think people would be wise enough to take the advices they're dishing out. :lol:

First post is an indirect comparison of PS3 and 360's online services, which is why it's a better fit in SW. You don't have to agree with it but at least I've explained myself. You never did.

for one thing, im not sharing my credit card information with sony. i might pay for the service with psn cards if possible, but id more likely just cut down my console gaming and do more pc gaming.

Screw that, dropping $60 or more in total, not increments of $3.50a month, but throwing down $60+, its for the birds. Give me a game for the $60, and let me play free.

Seeing as i find sonys attempt at an online pay to play meaning PS Plus a total rip-off. No I wouldnt pay for PSN. the free online was a benefit to getting the system and im not a big time online game player. Sony to start charging for PSN would cause major backlash, I mean look what happened when they removed the custom OS and like 4% of PS3 users actually used that. .

It wouldn't happen. Seriously, I don't get why people keep suggesting the idea of Sony charging for online play, it's so goddamn stupid. "Hey, our security sucked enough to get your credit card details stolen. Now we're making it mandatory to pay for online, GIVE US THE CARD DETAILS BACK PLZ"
