Playstation Plus - Premium PS3 Service

[ExtremeGamer]

I don't see it happening, but at the same time, I could see changes where certain things cost money that are free today. Who knows. It was on Sony's chart this morning, so of course the web is all a flutter with the info

I read they were going to look at charging for premium types of services. What exactly that means? IDK.

I can see them having a "Platinum" service. Perhaps earlier demos like for XBL gold members and perhaps something with games.

It's only a matter of time, imo...

I sure hope it never happens. One of the greater advantages that the PS3 has over Xbox IMO.

Free network play is THE reason I replaced my 360 with a PS3.

I download most demos on XBL. I won't pay a dime for PSN.

Bad move if it happened.

My PS3 would turn into nothing but a BluRay player. I already pay for Live, not paying anymore.

I honestly wonder what will start costing. Was just talking about the fact that their free charge is appealing to my pocket more as well as their exclusives.

This is the same way I feel. I personaly don't feel psn is worth paying for.

If it means an online experience as smooth as what is found with Live, then I hope they DO start charging.

Free online play is a core bullet point that they likely won't go back on this generation, even if they did roll back on their stances for ps2 BC and rumble.

It's expected that they would charge for "premium content and services" like an MMO or the DD game rental service they were considering awhile back.

I agree with bk, I doubt they change course on this during the current generation. If online features took a BIG leap forward on the PS4 I wouldn't mind paying for it.

re: Playstation Plus - Premium PS3 Service

guarantee you it wont happen.. This is one of Sony's strong points. It's just like the report that MS was going to start charring $100 for there gold membership, it wont happen.
