Should still be free play play. I haven't heard any news yet. Hmm Well I haven't turned on PS3 for a while and i haven't found any news regarding this.

guess xbox will be getting more clients soon. It's $60/year for live iirc.

wtf.. I'll just stick to my single player games then..

i think i read that it was a 'premium' service, meaning you get exclusive access to content, but it doesn't prevent you from playing online for free yet

can u post a screen shot of the email?

didn't get anything from them yet
it'll be a stupid thing for them to do

Unlikely considering all the advertising saying they have free online play.

cant see this happening

i've read that they plan to have premium acct and you'll be able to access all PSone and PSP mini games free of charge after

Hello again,
the message I recieved was not through email but a message left in my message inbox on my psn account
and for a pic I don't have a camera

But it says word for word " psn will be charging fees starting January 12th, 2010."
now whether or not that is for a "premium" or basic online play, I don't know because it
dosent state what the charges are for.

I was more worried that I don't get shafted with fees later on.

But I will keep u guys informed if I hear any more on this.

i got the same message that was forwarded from one of my friends. If they did charge for online, I bet it wouldnt be more then $5 a month/$60 a year. I don't mind paying. What they really should do is have free and paid accounts. The paid ones would get exclusive extras or something worthwhile.

i keep getting spam msg on psn
so yea
u never kno

you guys talking about this chain letter that's been going around?

It's just a chain letter. I'm sure it's not the first time you guys have seen one.

There are whispers about Sony considering a switch to a fee-based system, but until that is announced by Sony themselves, just ignore the rumours.

$20 a month? That's more than WoW and XBL.

When you read things, do you actually consider in your head if they make sense? I don't think so.

Doesn't matter if they charge 20/month or a year

PSN is viable compares to Live because it's free. Online gaming is so much better with Live, a lot more player, and much less lags

highly fucking doubt it

:rolleyes:

that time of the month again? Lol

didnt know there was kids with tempers on this board my bad

I have no temper, but this whole thread was based on an irrational misunderstanding.

If they do start charging, I doubt it will be for the overall service like XBL. It will probably be more like an all-in-one MMO subscription base, similar to what they're doing with their PC MMO games. That's my guess

got google?

that's far from temper on RS. But to answer your question: yes there are kids on this board.... sometimes 30 and 40 year old kids. lol. When there is a FAIL button option, it says alot haha.

LOL paying for online pfffft :P
I ♥ pc and you all should know why:
90% online game play has better structure and is free
(unless you are 1 playing mmorp like WoW or 2 running your own dedicated server which has is perks too)
also games are mostly cheaper(i cant think of one that cost more...)

downside, a pc costs more to build(unless u built it at the same time when ps3 first came out lol)

but i should really be making this rant, since i own every system any ways lol woot barging rights!

Well they should charge.
The latency and voice on PSN is not comparable to XB Live.
I definitely would pay for this rumoured premium service.

holly fuck ur an idiot for believe in such a chain letter.
