PSN+ already exists.

It's whether they will start charging for online play, and I think they'll fight to keep that feature free. It's a selling point over the competition at the end of the day.

It's a selling point for the PS3, so probably not in its' lifetime.

But the PS4 will probably have a monthly fee.

Not as long as the PS3 is out, that's for sure... honestly I don't think Sony will start charging, free online might just be a bigger advantage over Microsoft than most people on here are inclined to believe.

It might be, but it also costs hundreds of millions of dollars to operate.

I mean free made a bit more sense when PSN was bare bones years ago, but as long as they compete with Xbox Live their costs are just going to keep going up and up and up.

It will be charged a monthly fee as soon as you xbox a$$hats actually get one of your other stupid early-gen predictions right.

  • Cell processor 85% rate of failure
  • PS3 rate of failure exceeding that of the Xbox 360.
  • HD-DVD defeating Blu-Ray
  • Blu-Ray being rendered obsolete by the 200GB bacteria-disk... thing.
  • Blu-Ray being super-easy to scratch.
  • $100 PS3 games.
  • Blue Dragon overtaking the PS3 in Japan

I think that's the last thing to happen to the Playstation brand...I mean, I wouldn't go as far as to call it a selling point since online play is free on every platform except the 360, but they do have PSN+ to bank off it (at the very least, maybe cut back on the awesome goodies you get for being a member later on in the future, or make a bigger empasis on being a subscriber by adding more features exclusive to it, kind of like what Xbox Live does).

I like his Sig as well considering it is a GS score which is the opinion of one person. But if you run over to gamerankings and look at the average opinion, Uncharted 3 has the higher score.

Nobody WANTS to pay, but companies aren't going to give things away for free. Even if Sony does start charging money to play online it's not really a big deal. You got to have money to be invested in gaming, and 4-5 bucks a month is nothing.

Sony really coulda used those extra funds this gen that a PSN subscription fee would have delivered. :o

I wouldn't say cows are cheap. Just less willing to bend over and take a stiff one like lemmings do. Hell lemmings seems to want to hand them the lubricant and say thank you once they finish.

Sony needs some sort of revenue from PSN. I think they will charge a fee but it will be significantly cheaper than XBL and will offer tons of features. Proper voice/party chat is a must with the PS4.

I agree. Free is always better for the consumer, but I was looking from a business standpoint. Personally, im tired of playing for Xbox Live because I don't use any of the services it offers besides playing games and party chat.

Not that I remember. I don't think either the Xbox or PS3 fanboys [myself included] thought the Wii would do well at all.

The better question is, will Microsoft do an XBL subscription for the next Xbox or are they going to try a new revenue approach?

.. They will not do that, because Sony in their genious handicapped themselves in programming pretty much preventing them from having some of the best features out there for XBL.. Such as the party system, cross game chat, overall ease of sending messages, voice messages, and inviting people..
