MS is making huge amount of money by charging for xbox live. Playing Online is a huge oppurtunity for sony to make money. I mean, sony would probably end up charging money for PSN.

The real question should be, why are you paying when the PS3 is free?

That'd be pretty dumb.

As a customer I'd be furious if one day the service is free, then the next day you suddenly get charged.

Oh let me see. Better online games and I can afford $50 a year and I don't want to spend my money on a console that hardly has any good games.

Seems like it bothers you, since you did make a topic about it...

I don't think they will, I think they will probably go the route of robbing people via downloadable content, especially once home gets here. Its the same route a lot of "free" mmorpg's have taken

I mean, you could probably keep guessing but you'd probably still be wrong.

They better keep it free. Online PC gaming is free(with exceptions) why should online console gaming be any different.

Why does it matter if online costs $50 a year? - I had to spend 8 times that on my car again last service and expect to have to do the same again next year...... sometimes things cost money because people who provide the things we want need money to live. It's the way things work.

Thats if they can get people to advertise on it. In order to turn a profit this way the streets and sidewalks have got to be made up of ads.

Do you know Sony? Does he call you at home?

I'm talking to Sony, "ah gaa gaak." And he's up on his tail eee ee eeeee ee.

And you can quote him, (spits).

They are making money on items being sold ON psn.

No, the real question is, if PSN is free, why are people with both machines still willing to pay $50 for XBL?

Answer: because it's worth it. XBL's unified messaging and skill matching just destroy PSN, and Marketplace just has piles more content than PS Store, with plenty more releasing all the time instead of a trickle on Thursdays.

There is no way Sony could start charging for it as it is now. If it was developed further to be on par with live then yes, I would expect them to start charging for it.

And we would have MS to blame for making it the industry standard to charge to play online. Thank you Microsoft!

Of course I've had that on my PC for free for the last 5 years, but it's okay for MS to charge right?

And where can I find one of these so called... free PS3's?

Anyway, XBL service is better. You can't complain about PSN because well, it's free, but there's no doubt which is better.

Your almost funny about where can i find my free PS3...

So the PC online is pretty much free, so who's better?
