    Sony selling this on potential, which it does have.

    From most forums and comments sections, this seems as if it won't get many sales. I can see Sony dropping free online for their next home console, they will learn from both this and M$ that they can charge for online and 'get away' with it.

    They're not charging for playing online, if they did, I don't know what would happen.

    Yeah but that's the point. M$ charge their customers £40 on the premise of online play. Sony are selling this on the basis of a few near pointless features and delaying demos for those who don't cough up. This will go down the ****ter and come next gen, only Nintendo with their fun fun family games will be offering free online. Not that Sony will lose any money, because nothing has been developed.

    If they charged for online it would happen like this.

    - Sony fanboys will RAGE
    - MS Fanboys will LOL
    - Sony fanboys will give in and pay
    - PSN will no longer suck and will actually stand a small chance against XBL

    Sony won't get away with it because their consumers are used to playing free online. If I was a Sony customer, and they announced that we'd have to pay for online, I'd probably cut my losses and get an xbox

    70,000 UK subscribers, from what I'm hearing. Good number for such a small fraction of the world.

    Neil is right though, if Sony charged for online play, they could improve it more often instead of every 4 months. Would become truly equal with Xbox live.

    I subscribed today, loving all the stuff I'm getting.
