Bad news for Sony PS3 owners

**Razer** · #1 31st Aug 2008, 09:34

We all love playing online, right? Its great! Its going to cost money to use! Hurrah!

Wait.. I thought it was free??

I recently read a post in which Sony interviewed some people in Asia and asked them if they would pay for the PSN and it looks like the bunch of fools said yes..

The article is on google news by typing in Playstation network. Its called "Sony to charge for PSN"

I hope to god this isnt true or wont happen because Sony are having enough problems as it is, this will not help at all. I for one would stop using almost every online service, PSN should remain free.

Being free is the ONLY strength the PS3 has over the 360.

Cue a lot of nasty responses from PS3 lovers everywhere:...

If you want to use Blu-Ray do yourself a favour and don't get a PS3 for that reason, get a proper player.

The whole PS3 unit is cheaper than a Blu-Ray player for a reason xD

PS3 Blue ray drive is extremely slow. this is why most games have a lot of uncompressed files that take up so much space on the blue ray disk, thus cutting down read time.

Was just what i was gonna say, you took the exact words out of my mouth.
I can`t see them charging myself, well apart of me can and another can`t.
Cause on the one hand i heard alot of PS3s have been having hardware failure and so that`ll cost sony more money to replace, and on the other hand it`s free, and if they just suddenly charge then people will be p-ied off becauseo fit and thus will probs hate sony.
