    I'll stick with my $35-40 XBL membership from Amazon for a year. Thanks Sony. Paying to download patches in the background is the dumbest thing I've heard.
    I wonder who they spoke with from their focus groups or surveys for crazy pricing like this..............or to even think that this is good for the end user.

      I remember at Playstation.com last year they were polling the Gamer Advisory Panel on alot of this stuff. But I don't remember them asking anything about pricing it was mainly "What types of features would you like to see added for a premium package" and then there was multiple choice options.

      I didn't fill any of mine out because I didn't really care. lol

        DLC discounts on paper is nice. However, how much DLC does the average user actually buy? What if 80% of the discounted DLC is never bought by the average user?

        Charging more money than a very well established XBL just doesn't make sense.

          For me to pay 2x what XBL costs where is what I'd need included:

          Access to the MLB.TV package
          Free DLC in the form of unlimited viewing of television shows in their video library
          My choice of a free PSN game each month

              Spot on. Let me pay double what XBL charges for a less cohesive system. I'm generally a "pro sony" guy but they really seem to have NFI at times....

                    So you still get everything you already had, including online, STILL for free, with an OPTIONAL payment plan for some extras... and you're dumping them all together?

                    How does that make sense?

                        As long as I can still play online for free, I won't pay any money for so called "extras" or premium service.

                          it's entirely optional.

                          I'm sure Sony's knows they'll have a hard time trying to convince people to buy the cow when they are giving the milk away for free. They need a big enough carrot and the proper price point, both of which are only rumors at this point.

                            That's the key right now. No sense in freaking out until we see what E3 brings us.

                              Maybe this was just a little trial balloon, getting a number out to the general public and see how they react to it.

                              Hopefully they would lower the price point as a result.

                                Remember when MS would roll out those 1mo-3mo-6mo-12mo subscription cards for select games? That needs to be done here because its ****ing suicide to just come out the gate charging for **** that might not work immediately.
