I've never written a blog before, so bare with me. I fealt a need to express my displeasure to read that with the release of the PS4 we are saying goodbye to free online gaming. My PS3 is going to last longer than I thought, due to the fact that I can play all my favorite games online for FREE. I know Sony has to do it's thing to remain competitive in the system wars, but for me at least, free gaming is a HUGE advantage over Microsoft. Yet they feel the need to charge for plus membership for the next generation of systems. So I'll leave it at that. I'm dissapointed, but going to need to reluctantly join the masses when I get my PS4, and get the plus membership... don't like it, but I guess like they say "It is what it is".  :(
