Psn for 5$ a year

would you mind if sony started charging 5 bucks for 12 months of psn. Not to profit but just to make psn more stable for things like future cross game chat and other online services. Buying downloadable games and booster packs, addons and updates would remain free

FOR people saying it should be free KEEPING PSN ONLINE COST MONEY YA KNOW. 5 bucks would just be for helping to help making the service a bit more stability and better become a bit better PLUS sony would be more proactive with the service because it cost money. AND ONLINE SHOULD COST MONEY NOT TO MAKE PROFIT.

Yes i'll rather pay for online than get it for Free.

Free online is overrated if you ask me

even though 5 bucks is nothing i still would prefer nothing , its the principle of the matter , online gaming should be free....no matter whatcampzor

Online gaming should be free. I would pay but only because it would be the cheaper of the two console online prices. It's the principle at stake! Don't let M$ set the standard to being forced to pay to play online.Jynxzor

50 dollars sounds like a rip off but serves cost money but online servers and services cost money to maintaining and for just 5 bucks it would still be a very good deal. To increase the stability of the service even tho sony would still be paying money out of there own pockets still.

I'd stop buying Sony's Product. I don't want to be charged for online play. It would be ridiculous and stupid.Muffinlybliss

SONY would make no money off the 5$ and it would go towards stricly making the service better. Theirs no reason these people have to offer us online to begin with when they pay for it.

Does peer to peer cost MS any money? I'm just wondering because everything else is included in silver accounts or so I'm told.

Like others already said, it's not about the money, but the principle. Why should we pay to play games online when we already payed for it in the first place?Angry_PolarBear

you payed for the game not the service that connects you to other users. Online should cost money but sony is being nice but the result is a harder to maintain service. 5 bucks gives them just a bit for helping to maintain the service and make it more stable .

WHY DO SO MANY THINK ITS THERE GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO RECEIVE OTHERS WORK FOR FREE.

AS I said 50 bucks a year is a rip off 5 bucks is a deal as it goes just to maintaining the service making it more stable and leaves nothing for profit. Thats 41 cents a month

For which games? And if so it should be optional to pay for those games.

Its a different story as you said cause sony has home and many games with dedicated servers. (lbp lvs go somewhere)

[QUOTE="angry_fork"][QUOTE="lowe0"]Why should a service that costs money to operate be free?dotWithShoes

You don't need a server for peer to peer, you just need a program. Live is the program. Just picture live as a big hamachi or a gaming limewire. This is what I know of course, if it is different tell me.

They give most of those free hence why I said most is included in silver accounts. 50 is basically paying for matchmaking and online. If i remember you don't even need gold to download NXE or have avatars.

Is 5 bucks that big a deal when you have things like home, updates, games with dedicated servers , and friend lists for free that cost sony money to maintain. 5 bucks just make things more stable

Thats why you pay for Broadband internet? I mean who are you to say online gaming should be free. It still cost other people money.

[QUOTE="Espada12"][QUOTE="dotWithShoes"] Does live cost MS money? Yes. Do you think they can keep their servers up and running off of nothing? And yes, Xbox live does have servers.PrinceofSarcasm

I don't really have a problem with it, I pay for world of warcraft after all, but the justification for live fees is funny sometimes, when most people could just say * I like the service*

[QUOTE="angry_fork"][QUOTE="loftus42"]It's more then just P2P. Live offers a slew of features along with On-line play. Just to name a few are leader boards, the infamous match making, and in-game chat. All these use dedicated servers to enable thier use in game. So, you get more for your money then just on-line play. Besides your money does bring features to those with silver accounts. Like the avatars in NXE. I don't mind paying the extra money as long as there is a benefit of a more stable Live with more features for both Silver and Gold members. PSn is a decent on-line service, I don't like Home, so we will leave that one alone. It's just not as good as the Live service. IMO Live is so much better then PSn, and easier, that I think PSn would benefit from a small fee.dotWithShoes
