Rumor has it that Sony may be considering a PSN subscription fee.

Not a subscription fee for access and online (ala Xbox Live) but a fee that gives you all you can eat access to PSN games be they for PSP or PS3.

To quote: This isn't a new idea (Sony Asia polled its customers in early 2008 about such a thing- pics below) but scuttlebutt is that they are asking AGAIN. Hmmm.

$10 dollars per month for 5 or 6 games out of the complete library? Games must 'check in' to see if you are a current subscriber or they just don't play. Maybe bump it to $20 and you get movie streaming to boot?

What do you think? Would you be willing to pay a fee to get access to all PSN games (esp considering if PSP Go! is real all future PSP games will be ON PSN).

First Sony financial loss in 14 years. Sure, they're gonna think about new sources of income. Also cosidering the slumo in PS2 sales and how PS3 isn't picking up the pace.

I dont mind paying for it, but they should make a package for people you don't want to subscribe to PSN games too .. Buying PSN games is a much better option imo .. :wink2:

I don't understand.....you pay for access and pay more for games? That's stupid, no?

And please, keep the online gaming free.

Too late now. They can't start charging now. If they wanted to charge they should have charged from the start. It'll make them look like scrouge at christmas.

p.s. PSN is free, yet has half of the users of LIVE. Weird, no?

^^ Conscript's right ... I don't think they will start charging for any existing services ... they would probably introduce some new packages through which you might have to pay for, but which would get you more PSN experience ..

I wonder What bring Xbox fanboys into this thread :p (Talking about hasanJ and Conscript)


Just need free online gaming as it is right now, extra PSN services are not of my concern.

Well thats the one way to go....i thought the same...

And i think Conscript is right...they will not do it ...or might be possible this service will launch with the New Ps3 Slim Model.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
