XBL can't play anything online without gold membership, so they pay for what we already get free. This is just optional stuff on top.Marik2 said:

Yes - it's called private chat - all members can access it.Marik2 said:
As for this...it sounds interesting for the most part, but then again we'll have to actually see how Sony implement some of these systems, as I'm sure there'll be some catches and there doesn't seem to be much to differentiate it from Xbox Live - although the Cloud storage space does sound interesting if it's what I think it is...
"Member only in-game content" would be the thing that would worry me if I owned a PS3.
What you said. There are just to many positives on that list if you ask me, but a few Of those things I have no idea what they are for. Cloud Storage Space for Games and token wagering, whats that about?IdealistCommi said:
.......still prefer xbox 360 for the simple fact that all the idiots I know don't invade my gaming time.
But the 'cool' thing to do is overreact and begin the Sony bashing. [small]I kid.[/small]AceDiamond said:

You don't find the XMB interface that good, or am I confusing it with something else?Gilbert Munch said:
OT: Nice. I am most defiantly paying for this.
Exactly. As long as they don't "do a Microsoft" and have a Gold membership equivalent, then it's not so bad. But I don't get why they haven't done this before: this way everyone who's used PSN and bragged to their XBOX-owning mates about how Sony don't charge are gonna be pissed off.iamq said:
This Members only In game Content thing annoys me. This may lead to them holding back parts of exclusives that would have otherwise been on the disc, for this to be 'members only' Also this seems to pretty much say you need to subscribe to get the full game.
Premium price for premium content. That's still a step above XBL with is a premium price for basic content (like online multiplayer).
I like this "offer extra and then charge for it" rather than "take what should be free and charge for it".
Though I hope by "catch up TV" that doesn't mean I'll be locked out of using PlayTV with my PS3 (without premium membership) as that device (plus the often necessary hard drive update) are expensive enough. Now that I think of it, it'll probably be something internet based, like Hulu.

That's not so bad. So EVERYTHING we have now will still be free, but there's going to be a premium service if you want it? So no rip-off Microsoft bullshit? Ahh good.
I'll probably get it. Free PS1 downloads, access to betas and stuff sounds sweet.

The in game content is what gets me. Heres an example of what people are probably worrying about, new add on for game X, buy content on 360 normally, buy membership then buy content on PS3.
See the issue?
To not lose out (and being just plain stupid), its more likely new skins/paint jobs for free with membership.
