ok sorry for unnecessary comment.....but i do get what ur saying and sony should not charge for MP.....if they left it the exact same way it was now in the free package i wouldnt mind but if they took away some of those things away and made us pay for them then i would see the problem.....

[QUOTE="MortalDecay"][QUOTE="RedruM_I"] Better customer service? They are going to charge for services like many companies do thorugh the internet and that's what M$ should do too. When you buy software that connects to the internet you're paying the developer for the services that the software provides but you're not paying for online connectivity. Sony is attaching to the basic business model around these kind of things, only M$ charges for something as ridiculous and basic as connectivity for online play.RedruM_I

So, it's ok to charge a fee for something that everyone should get when they buy the product, but it's not ok to charge for access to the largest online gaming service? Nevermind....I know...You'll Follow Sony to the death, no matter what they do. But, the hypocrisy is very strong with this one.

Are you really not getting it or are you just being obtuse? The thing that you should get when you buy a product IS THE ONLINE MULTIPLAYER. Sony is not trying to charge for anything other than services for online play but not for online play itself. M$ is the one charging for something that everyone should get when they buy the product. They could charge for dedicated servers, cross-game chat, etc and that would make complete sense but including the connectivity on the fee is dumb.

You don't seem to be getting it either, because you are dodging the issue of charging for faster customer service. No one should have to pay for that. Everyone that buys Sony's consoles should get fast customer service, regardless, because they already paid money for the product. I shouldn't have to pay extra money to get faster service. Having to pay for trophy alerts? Now that is DUMB. Sony's PSN's setup is nothing like Live. They don't have near as much overhead as MS does with Live. That's how they can get away with not charging for it. All 360 games are connected Live. Live is not P2P, like fanboys love to call it. It costs a lot of money to run a service like Live. PSN pales in comparison to the number of servers, etc. If you tried to run a service like Live, you'd charge for it, also. Sony is just getting greedy by charging people for such small, meaningless features, and by charging MORE for them.

You're just wasting your time. Cows will take whatever Sony feeds them and believe in their hearts it's better. Another example I gave is Player A is goingto avoid playing for the Sony premium service, while his friends pay. Soon he'll be left behindon all online games because everyone else is getting premiumin game content he's not getting. Tell me he won't decide to pony up just to keep up. Anyone posting that says they won't is just in denial Then they'll reassure themselves that somehow PSN is better,even they are paying morefor less...

Can I say the TC got self owned cause Multiplayer and the features that we get as of right now are still FREE. New features added on top would be the ones that we get charged for if we choose to subscribe but online is still free. So sorry to break your bubble but you are still getting.....Get a hammer so I can nail this
