So we got Sony made a survey unvaling some premium service plans (means they don't need to be there):

Lets make SW edition of servey, so quastion is:

Sony is considering offering a premium PlayStation Network subscription in the future. The subscription offering would provide new premium features you could choose to pay for and are in addition to the features currently available for free such as access to online multiplayer gaming (current features would remain free).

none....but some of those are cool that should be incorporated in xbox live as well

Dude I want a pick-n-mix option. Seriously want cheaper store content, PS1 games, betas in the same packages god damn.

Eh, I can hardly follow the chart let alone pick how much money I would want to spend on stuff that is irrelevant to me. I gues 2?

Option 2 looks the best, but I'm not a fan of the price. But then again, playing online would still be free. :P

If I were to pick I'd go with with option 1, although the free PSOne Classics is drawing me to Option 2. I went with Option 1 though

I'd go option 2.

But it probably wouldn't be available in Australia/Europe/NZ for about 2-3 years after its ***/NA release, so I'm not really concerned at the moment.

I know what we have now is free, and it 's good. I also know what we have now will continue to be free, which is awesome.

As far as these premium deals, I don't know. It's a shame the industry has forced Sony to move this way, instead of making Xbox LIVE pure profit situation Cheaper or Free for consumers, but what can you do? The consumers have voted with their dollars, and the vote was, yes please.

I've spent well over $400+ on Live over the years, closer to $700-800 when you factor my other, second 360, and when I think of the future in how much this hobby is costing me...I have to shudder.

As far as Destructoid goes, they aren't very neutral, and their website is designed to get hits with outrageous opinions.

Finally, all these premium service's are $70? Exqueese me? Only one $30 option? Where is the All in one inclusive Uber deal, these all have variables I would want. I don't think Sony would offer in pieces like that, or try to confuse the consumer so much online options. I'll just wait and see.

I have questions about half that stuff they would be trying to sell me as it is. I like a few things from some of them, other options are just flat out stupid. I can't vote in the poll, since I wouldn't choose any of these.

Option 2 looks the best, but I'm not a fan of the price. But then again, playing online would still be free. :P

None of the above.

I've been trying to come up with a good solution that's best forthem and us , but I can't really come up with anything because I don't know the details behind a lot of those things. But my general advice to them -

1. a $25 per yearsub - playstation/sony related perks - Qore/Betas/freebies , loyalty reward program , trials , cloud storage , etc.
2. a $25 per year sub - includes all of the multimedia and socialthird partyapps -catch up tv, internet radio , music vids , facebook , etc.
3. cross game chat should be free for everyone !
4. scrap the rental/access deals for a little while.

That way freeloaders can be happy (me) , more serious playstation fans can be relatively happywith ps perks (some guy with trey4life as his name), and people that want to use their ps3's for other things can also be somewhat satisfied. Give people a little more flexibility and choice. That's a lot better than going $70 for a lot of things people might not ever care to use or try.They simply won't bother with it.

If I had to choose one it would be 3.

Option 2.

So Sony is suckering people into buying a PS3 now and then is going to start charging more for PSN then XBL? Sounds about right :P

No. They're THINKING about charging more for PSN than XBL. Key word is THINKING.

Somehow the words Sony and thinking don'tseem to belong in the same sentence...

Now, now. I'm sure it's just a phase you are going through. Trust me, there are way better gaming options then just Sony. It'll help broaden your perspective of gaming...

None of the above.

PSN is fine for being free, but i would never pay for it, even if those things were included.

I just find PSN unwelcoming after playing about with LIVE.

PSN should be far more intergrated, and not just a little icon at the end.

Option 2 though :)

None of the above.

heretrix

all it really is. is xbl with a 20 dollar mark up

I like option 2 but to be honest option 1 is great as well cuz of that 3 year extended warrenty.. i'll 4 sure pick up option 2.. price is alot but seems worth it

Option 2 looks the best, but I'm not a fan of the price. But then again, playing online would still be free. :P

Lionheart08

Option 2 seemed to be the best but not a fan of the price. If they made the price $50 I'd be fine with it though.
