IMHO, i think its better than XBL. 1) PSN is free and XBL is $50 2) I never have problems with lagging on PSN where as on XBL, i cant go a game without lagging on MW2. 3)Playstation store has way more stuff that i would like to purchase whereas marketplace does really have anything i like. Besides XBL really doesn't offer more than PSN does. It may seem like it but it doesn't. plus, people act like XBL is flawless. ITS NOT!!!!! I have soooo many issues with XBL that i never have with PSN also, i thought that sony was keeping the free service and adding a subscription service. quite honestly, i don’t understand why PSN gets such a bad rep.

We will still be able to do everything we do now for free. Anything more will simply be a paid-for option-- an option I'm probably not going to include myself in on even if it has X game chat and a better party system. I don't have a lot of cash floating around to spend JUST to have a few better features. However, if they include some sort of Netflix-like offering like being able to rent a few movies off the PSN each month, I may be swayed more to pay up. ---- Key Point: The PS3 will STILL have its selling point of free online gaming. There will just be an option to make it better. The best part of all this is that the online on the PS3 will STILL be free even after this premium service is offered.

One such service is cross-chat. However, they will still provide some level of free PSN just like 360 does. I've said it before and I will say it again, I feel that the PS3 is a better value overall. However, Xbox Live is still so incredibly addictive... It’s unfortunate but Sony will eventually start charging for what they call, “Premium” services. One such service is cross-chat.

It'll take a lot for me to purchase any "premium service" that the PSN could offer. Personally, I'm satisfied with the PSN as is, they just need to work on the backend of the service to keep it much more stability. At Sony's current financial position I don't blame them for looking at the PSN as a source of income. However make no mistake, I think that the "premium service" will only have superficial improvements and development for equal and better things compared to XBL will be few and far between. The most annoying thing about PSN for me are the longer downloads vs. XBL and the occasional drops. All they REALLY need is better throughput through the network.

Yes, they need to keep the free service in tact but as for cross game chat, Xbox Live has it because they can pay workers to keep it maintained through the money they are getting from their subscribers. Right now the only thing that is keeping PSN free is HOME ( which some people do not need to complain about) and the media in the PSN Store. If what I read was true, it will be worth paying for the premium service and Sony would not dissapoint its loyal customers. All I can say is they just need to keep the basic PSN free and invest in more services and features of the new "premium service" that is coming soon.
