[quote="Phil"]"The moment you buy [a PS3] you enter a long-term relationship," Harrison said. While the chipset remains the same, what it does evolves over time. There doesn't appear to be any thoughts on creating a premium online service like Microsoft's Xbox Live. Despite the fact that Sony doesn't plan to charge gamers to play on its network, Harrison believes there is nothing that can keep PS3 from offering services equal to Xbox Live in the future.
This is exactly what I had assumed. No plans for a "premium" service. And all the qualities of XBL, but free. This kinda blows away all the talk about how Sony will probably end up charging. It's still not impossible mind you, but highly unlikely. I love Phil. It seems like hes just about the only one that, when he speaks, he actually has something to say.
