I wanted to play NHL 09 last night on PSN and not only found enough vs games but also som online team play games. this is why free PSN is better because dedicated servers are still running for NHL 09 even when nhl10 is out, but if you were stuck with a 360 you would need to buy NHL 10 to play hockey online.

We are talking about hockey here. Hockey and crappy seems to always be placed in the same sentence together for some odd reason :P

Well i havn't played on PSN but i here its pretty much the same except that PSN is free, however there was an article somewhere where the wording taht came fro sony sounded like they were going to start charging for it or it could just be a rumor. You never know companies do get greedy.

The servers will still be up for 09 on 360 as well. It all runs through EA's own servers.

no your still going to be able to play online free.

the subscription will have premium content.

I would guess like cross game chat, party chat, early access to demo's.

pretty much xbl gold.

i would be surprised if the servers on the free version dropped in quality and we started to see alot more lag on psn.

the way sony has been know to screw over the customer. it wouldn't be surprised if started to screw over the people who don't pay for a subscription.

wouldn't be surprised if psn would become a subscription only service.

I don't understand why people think PSN offers dedicated servers.

This makes no sense whatsoever. First, EA runs their own servers. Second, when EA decides to shut down those servers you will no longer be able to play. This discussion has nothing to with PSN vs Xbox Live.

Um, i dont understand. Does it not run off EA servers? They're still up on the 360 as well. :? You dont need to buy NHL 10 any more than PS3 owners do, you can still play NHL 09 exactly the same. :? Is this yet another incorrect conception that PSN has dedicated servers for every game and live does not?

Making things up is never good. EA servers are up and running perfectly fine on NHL 09. It even says 'up and running' on the server status on the website. Dont lie.
