Sony wants to make money out of PSN

[Tinman]

However, it appears that in fact Sony will not be making its online service subscription based. Instead, the company will be adding extra features, the use of which will require users to pay a ‘premium service’ fee.

PSN to get subscription based premium service

They see M$ getting monies for it now they want piece of the pie also.

I wonder what extra services they will offer? I'm quite happy not having to pay to play my games online. I always felt with my 360 it was a bit of a cheek to ask for a monthly fee to play your games online considering the price tag of console games. :/

I dont mind paying, here people prefer the xbox and everyone pretty much has an account.... So always playin wit people from the uk

[Dreamsgate]

I wonder what other extra features they will be able to offer that will make us pay for them. I mean I have only ever once used the PSN to buy something and the rest of the time its only online gaming when I feel like it. Would be interesting to see…

well even though they will be charging for it now, if the online play remains free PSN is still superior IMO

[Solidus]

Apparently they want to have an app store where people can develop for the PS3.
What that entails lord alone knows but the online play is still free

And so it begins...
