Depends on the return. If Sony can have online games like they did this gen and dominate .... then yes I'd have to pay.

Nope, Sony is known for making great and fun games so staying with them and not going to bother with the other systems

I would pay for either LIVE or PSN, whichever one was best. I wouldn't pay for both, though.

I'll put up a poll tomorrow.

PC would be the only viable option. xbox: charges online, few new exclusives, pushing heavily for kinect WiiU: lol PS4: even if it charges online, probably more exclusives than 360. I'm likely to stick with MS because thats what my friends/family back in the UK play on, but PS4 is what i'd lean to (even with charging online) if others jumped.

This has got to be the no.1 thing that Lems are looking forward to next gen. Hoping and praying that Sony begins to charge for psn so they no longer have to take a beating from cows and herms.

Lems better hope Sony charges because the PS Vita has Party System & Cross Game Chat for free right now. If they don't charge for it on the PS4 while Microsoft still is their argument is gone pretty much.

I think all reasonable people would like everyone to be able to play for free.

I care little for online, but it'll make it that much easier for me to stick with the Wii-U for next gen. Heck, it might even make me consider putting the money down for a decent gaming PC.

Why would one jump ship to Xbox where they would also have to pay? Makes no sense.

I don't care how featured the online is, as long as it is free. If Sony charges for PSN, I'm out. Wii U will most likely be free. So i'll pick that up.

Well, when you're a lem, you can't look forward to exclusives, so you look forward to the next best thing. Ammo for SW. :cool:

The diehard cows would stay. The more rational will leave knowing Xbox Live is clearly the superior service without question.

Not necessarily, but it would be lame if they did. I'm OK with the PSN+ model. They can even add more stuff to PSN+ to attract more customers (make the 'premium' service more attractive). But keep the basic online play free.

I always look forward to PS3 exclusives, cause they actually exist and continue to be produced. That, in and of itself, counts as the shells for my SW shotgun. ;)

Definitely. The main reason I chose a PS3 over the 360 was the free online and exclusives. If they get rid of that then the only reason I would ever buy their consoles is for a few IPs which might not even be used next gen.

No way in hell I would pay to use my own internet connection. Only in the video game industry could companies get away with such idiotic theivery--where the customers are like a bunch of spoiled crack addicted children.

lmao I can't believe people on these forums still reply to you seriously. EVERYONE, THIS DUDE IS A TROLL. Everything he says is meant to get an adverse reaction from you.

I gotta admit, since people are too dumb to realize this maybe I'll make a troll account too. Could be hilarious...

Consoles are kind of a 1 gen deal with me.

I'm not some dumbass who buys a new console every gen.

I might get a PS4 next gen depending if I have time, and if it's interesting.

Not getting xbox next gen.

I already have a PC so I'm set.

I'm not paying for online, period.

I'm also not buying anything that I don't own, that I can't put on a physical media and own it forever, give it to a friend, etc.

That's basically me.

Next gen I will probably Linux game.

The whole gaming industry can suck my d*ck.

Probably not as I wouldn't havea choice, doesn't mean I would defend the practice though like Lems do. Actually I would still get a PS4 for SP games, and just upgrade my PC for MP games, if that were the case.

Charging for online P2P is a rip off, early gen you could kinda excuse it as XBL was really the only good onlin console service, however it's 2012 today, not 2007, and PSN has come a LONG way and does (just about) EVERYTHING XBL does but for FREE.

And you also take into account Steam which is FREE and is better than both the two services, and you clearly see that anyone who is still defending the XBL fee is an idiot.

Not tyring to be a fanboy but it is the truth, there is zero reason for MS to charge for online gameplay, zero. You cannot defend the fee anymore in this day and age, the competition has improved and is at the same level now, and considering that the compeition is FREE it makes it better.

na it depends on exclusives, if microsoft keeps getting 1 or 2 decent exclusives a year and they keep going the soccer mom games and kinect crap ps4 is a sure buy for me and won't eve look back at the new xbox, i can see it now, yearly release of halo and gears of war, and thats it.

Eh? Did I say that? I primarily PC game, so most multiplats I'll play on that, but if I'm gonna choose a console I'll go for the one which offers me the best experience. If most of my friends are on one i'll pick that, otherwise i'll go for the one with the library that is most likely to appeal to me.

Agree with you on the whole physical media thing, but doesn't that sort of go against PC gaming?

Nope. I don't play online so it would have very little affect on me. With one minor exception. There could be no online trophies for any games that count towards plats. I know they mean nothing in the scheme of things, but they add massive replay value to me knowing that if I play the game multiple times I'll get rewarded. Right now, I have one Plat, I could have up to 5 by now if I played online. If they charge for online they might as well take away the trophy system too.
