CAGiversary!
Right now, I'm on the fence between buying a PS3 or an Xbox 360. Blue-ray is not that important to me, but saving money is (that's why I'm a CAGer, after all). The fact that online play is free right now on PSN is making me lean towards buying PS3.
However, my cynical and realistic side believe that Sony will eventually start charging for online play. So far, they've had to offer it for free because they fell so far behind MS Xbox Live. But Sony doesn't want to give anything away for free if it doesn't have to. So, I think that Sony will start charging for online play in the future. Little by little, the "free" stuff will no longer be free. And the PSN Plus is the clearest example that this is the direction that Sony is headed.
If I knew that I had to pay to play online, I'd rather just buy an Xbox 360 right now.
What say you? Do you think that the Sony PS Network will eventually begin to charge $$$ for online play?
