They won't do either. They don't lose anything by leaving it there, and do lose by doing both options in your poll.

Sony has nothign to lose. Personally, if PSN is free, and I play majority of multiplayer on xbox live anyways, then theres no need for this.

That being said, they offer free games and dynamic themes, which is pretty cool

This thread is pointless. All you said was "PSN+ is great, but if PS3 owners dont subscribe to what will SONY do?" this is lame attempt a bash the PS3, SONY, and PS3 owners

awesome. thanks.

trolling doesn't particularly annoy me unless it's accompanied with a poll. polls almost always make "oh this seems good and all but am i alone here in thinking..." topics last for days and weeks on end. and frankly, the ****storm that will follow will be nothing more than infuriating.

Yes but I think they created this PSN+ for the money aspect and like I have noticed most PS3 users would rather have free stuff. So because of that I dont see this thing going they way Sony might want it to.

Will they tie the online part into the price in a case like that? I dont think they would get rid of it as they still do have home.I dont think it will fly as Sony fans here have shown again and again that they are against having to spend money on anything exept for games.

When has anybody said that? This was the first time that Sony has pushed for an optional based subscription fee to further online content and as far as I can tell most people are taking it quite well, and have expressed their interest if not their will to pay. Sure, if you don't like it then don't pay for it. But PSN+ has made it quite clear that the value of free games and services will outweigh that of the entire one year fee in only several months.

its insanity at its finest period. They were very vauge about what you could do with the psn+ but hey we will find out in july according to jack trenton i am very skeptical though cause they are offering betas and other "exclusive" stuff that can only be had on psn+ what are they gonna do hold back dlc for the psn+? and on another note i wonder if the stuff you purchase while under plus do you get to keep it or does it go away if you dont renew?

However its because we love free stuff that many people will enjoy this service. The moment we suscribe we get a download for LittleBigPlanet (a full retail game). That along with the store discount, bonus games given to use for free. The ability to test any psn game for an hour and the update features its a very good deal

I think it'll do decently well. There's a lot of people who will be vehemently opposed to paying $50 a year for something they've already paid for, like the online portion of their games, but will jump at the chance to pay $50 a year to get hundreds of dollars worth of free dlc, avatars, and themes (all of which they get to keep regardless of subscription status) and massive discounts on psn store content (which they will get to keep), and to add icing to the cake, 4 free games a month (which they get for as long as they are a subscriber).

The only content that goes away is the 4 games a month. All the premium avatars, themes, and game add-on content stays, as well as anything you purchased at a discount. And if you ever re-subscribe, you get instant access back to any games you had recieved previously.

Just speculating on things thats all. Just wondering how far on the list of money making priorities this thing is for Sony. Ah mabey it isnt as important to them as they didnt tie online play into it.
