This article says that playing online "will still" be free so wtf is SONY trying to trick PS3 owners with what? Exclusive movies from games? Some arcade games? Didn't they already have quore or whatever is called? What a fucking joke...they want to do the same has XBOX Live but they don't have the fucking balls. I mean PS3 fanboys always says that 50 year is too much while they have it free so if they start charging it might has well everyone go to the 360.

No. Silver do not allow you to play online. The article says that the online play of the PSN continues free, but they are considering a monthly fee " for something else". What is that "something else"? Kaz Hirai says that is a "combination of hardware, software, peripheral and PlayStation Network."
I don't have a fucking idea what that is, but it sounds stupid has fuck!

xbox live ftw

I think Sony is testing the waters for an eventual pay to play service like Live. People dont like having to suddenly pay for something that was once free so to avoid consumer backlash Sony is easing the consumer into paying on PSN slowly and gradually. Sony cant continue to keep supporting a free online service as more and more people are coming on to PSN and more bandwidth and servers are required to handle that.

"Especially in the online area, we are studying the possibility of introducing a subscription model, offering premium content and services, in addition to the current free services."


?

I mean do you have to pay a monthly fee for to pay to download videos, games and other stuff? Wait doesnt they have something like this? Wait its called Quore....
