Playstation Network ‘May go Pay’

June 18th, 2007 · 1 Comment

For Xbox 360 fans who scoffed at Sony’s free PlayStation Network with its promise of delivering an equitable experience to Xbox Live (minus the subscription), here’s a little nugget from PS3Fanboy.

Eric Lempel, Sony’s Director of Network Operations, recently indicated in an interview that “things change” and that it’s not unlikely for users to be asked to cough up a premium to access the core features of PlayStation Network.

Hey guy. Sales 101. The worst thing you can do to a client is tell them something is going to be free, and then charge them for it. Not wise. But then again this is Sony we’re talking about. Under-promise. Over-deliver. Do I have to explain EVERYTHING??!?

      If they do start charging I for one will be very disappointed as the free online play was really the tipping point when I was deciding whether I wanted to buy the Xbox360 or a PS3.
