Sony needs to charge for online. This is ridiculous. Microsoft charges for Xbox Live to give us a better service. We, the gamers, essentially pay to have things run smooth. Sony's free PSN just isn't worth what happened. Not to mention, that they could use the money to make the service better.

As of now, I don't see the point in PSN Plus. Seems like a bogus attempt to be like Xbox's charging price for Xbox Live, but is the $50 REALLY worth what the PSN Plus offers vs Free PSN?

Xbox Live Silver is FREE and let's you do EVERYTHING minus play online and get access to certain Gold Benefits (None are ever that awesome anyway), which is not limited to discounts on Arcade Titles, access to demos first, etc.
Xbox Live Gold is now $59.99 for 12 months. This service grants you everything Silver does, but now playing online is available (Which I assume is the biggest selling point of going Gold). Also with Gold, as mentioned above, you get certain benefits over SILVER.

PSN allows you to play online and do everything PS allows you to do online.
What does PSN Plus actually offer that is SO worth the $50 a year? I'm curious, because if you can already play online for FREE, why spend $50 just to feel "special" that you spent those $50 and can say you have a "better" PSN?

Sony has really messed up this generation and has pulled dumb decisions out of their ass just because they could not be on top 3 generations in a row. Learn and move on. Don't go attempting to copy the Wii and come up with "Move." Don't get threatened by Xbox Live and come up with a cheap PSN Plus. Gaming is supposed to be fun and entertaining. Make shit that is fun on your terms. Don't let others define your next move.

If it was cheap I wouldn't mind. Start off small, say, $20 a year or something. Some things I would really like on the PS3 is better voice chat quality and maybe cross-game voice chat. Those would be nice.

One thing I just wish Sony would have as an update to the PS3 is have the ability to play music over gameplay. There is only one game that you can do that, and that's Rock Band 2, and that's only in the practice mode when you can go crazy on drums with no meter or point system.
