somewhere over in ireland a man bought a Ps3 at a strore cuz it had the abilty for OtherOS so he updated it and saw that OtherOS was removed , he got back to the store and got $100 as a comparison ( dont know the site where i found it anymore )
if they make PSN paid then almost all people owning a Ps3 and have a Brain will stand up and Sony will make a HUGE loss !
another thing : Free PSN is the thing that made Ps3 big if they remove it sony will go down
let me think what you think about it

sorry for bad english iam dutch
You say the Free Online Gamplay is an
OPTION, I highlighted it in your quote, they have every right to start charging, they also have every right to remove it.
They will also make hardly any loss at all, having to pay people that is (but they will lose money from the amount of downloads they receive), if they say in an update that PlayStation network will become a paid for service, then thats it, you cannot complain. Look how many Social Networking sites have been free from the start then they suddenly started charging people to use their service.
It's the same for any company, they can provide a free service, but they have every right to start charging for that service.
Please, start taking Business lessons.
