Rumors. I'll believe and ignore it once I hear it at E3.

I'd be very curious to see the distinction of access to the full psn games if it's the ability to own the game or just play it as long as you're a paying member. Also, the quality of the game would be a concern if the typical selection is Flow, Elefunk, Pain and Bowling; that would be underwhelming. 120 dollars is a lot of money and while Xbox subscriptions are technically 50 bucks a year, 12 month cards can easily be got for 30 to 40 dollars, sometimes less. 

Totally not worth it.  Especially when you factor in that you can pretty much get 12 months of live for $30-$40 whenever you'd like as long as you're willing to look.

All I can say is that if you pay, you had better get a faster connection than the snail speed they are kicking now.

My problem with this is that it will split the users for XGC.  If half of my friends list pays for the service, then my potential uses for it are cut in half.

I barely have 5 games for my PS3 (as opposed to 80+ for my 360), and I do all my Multiplayer gaming on the Xbox .... so PSN is just there, since its free. 
Not paying a single penny, thank you very much.

Brad, I don't think 10 bucks per month plus tax - depending which state you live - counts as a good deal. Furthermore, paying for online services and still 60 dollar games plus monthly fees for internet access isn't cheap. That's why I migrated to PS3 because online fee was non existent!! I hope they won't ever charge us fees to play online..

I see very little value in this for me.  I don't care about voice chat, demos, or bonus dlc.  Will not buy if these are the features.

yeah I'd need to see a lot more for 9.99 a month.  and dont even bother mentioning anything about ps home that stuff is pointless

I'm in the PSN will never be as good as Xbox Live, so yo I'm going to stay with Xbox Live camp.

If they can have something that is under 50 dollars a year, Then I'm down with that.

Yes I'll pay for cross-game voice chat. That's all I needed.

Hell, I subscribe to Qore and I think that was worth the money.
 
I'm in.

$10 a month for something that isn't as full featured as Xbox Live sounds kind of steep.

if that rumor of free ps1 games comes true then i will definitely subscribe

Giantbomb = Destructoid? (More muscles the better I suppose)

10 bucks a month is too much. This will fail unless they offer a shit ton of reasons.

A paid PSN service should not affect online (or multiplayer) services, but offer offline (or single-player) benefits. 

Stuff like "cloud" based saving, a rotation of free games, and extended demos I have no problem with, but when you create a gap in online interactivity by only offering paying users things like cross-game chat (and possibly DLC), you're getting dangerously close to the 360's gold / silver model.
 
At a higher price point than Xbox Live, it won't fly with me.

" [..] paying for cross game voice chat makes me lol, though "

10 bucks a month? Really?

Cross game chat will be relegated to this service?  That's just not fair.

Pay to get deals off stuff you will still pay for, oh Sony I see what you did there!

Exclusive DLC offers?  As in, pay a subscription in order to access DLC we still need to pay for?  I hope I'm misunderstanding this.  Still, rumors are just rumors.

As long as I can still play online for free, I don't give a shit about PSN+.
And if they do make the catastrophic mistake of charging to play online, well, it's singleplayer games from now on for my PS3.

$599

It's basically a more advertised Qore.  And if you've ever subscribed to Qore, you know how terrible it is. 

I hope they have a better fee than a $9.99 a month (Year = $120 if you were doing the month). Other then that I glad their keeping most things free like online.

That's hefty but if they extended the PlayStation Protection Plan to systems currently out of warranty I'd probably go for it. 

That seems like its asking alot of money, hoping its either wrong or really worth it. But if not? at least I can still play games online, 360 should take note.
 
And I feel you on the updating thing, I turned on my 360 for Mass Effect 2 for the first time in months and was well over an hour of updating, downloading, installing and inputting codes before I got to play. I do miss the days of just slapping in a cartridge and just playing.

There's some cool stuff in there but 10 bucks a month seems pretty steep compared to XBL. The first hour demo is interesting.  I would hope they really bump their retail game list up though.  I'll leave it up to the official announcement to make a real judgement though.  Right now I'm interested. 

It depends on how badass those sales are. I can do without the online multiplayer.

Party chat, let alone person to person cross game chat is what I want the most. With a silver Xbox live account you are restricted to private chat. Only gold allows for eight person party chat. Also, as much as I don't mind the cross media bar (XMB), if they expect me to pay for a premium PSN service I except them to redesign that thing.

sounds pretty awesome to me

Some of these things seem like a really good way to even further splinter an already pretty disjointed online community.
 
As my lead gaming platform, I hope whatever Sony does, they're carefully considering how it will affect all of their PS3 customers down the road.

As long as they don't remove features or content from me they can do whatever they want with their paid service. This exclusive DLC business sounds questionable in that regard. But it all depends. On this rumor being true, for one.

It is cool that they are not stripping current PSN features because obviously that would be the wrong way to go. I heard about the free PSN games before, but I am skeptical of this. Qore has occasionally done this but it is for PSN games that came out years before that have already been discounted to be pretty cheap already, so if it is just that its not much of a deal. Exclusive DLC needs to be something significant. Auto-patching for recently played titles could be cool, wonder if it works while on standyby. I assume the Playstation Protection Plan doesn't apply to systems as old as mine. The 'first hour' demo for PSN titles sounds kind of lame, seems to be trying to make up for the fact that most PSN games don't automatically have demos and the ones that do don't have a simple XBLA style 'Upgrade to Full Game' option. I'm not sure if that should be a subscriber perk since it is basically a marketing tool for the game.

Thanks but no thanks, I'll stick to the ho hum generic service. I have no interest in chatting with anyone on there, the DLC thing is the only possible spoiler for me but I'll live.

Hmmm.. Interesting...

I'd hit it. Truly.

I would have to see the content they offer, like how good the ps store deals are an such.

I'm all more concerned about the cross-game chat function. Why do we have to pay for that? Seriously, simply give me one good reason why we have to pay and I won't complain.

I'm okay with a tiered PSN, but 10 bucks a month does seem a touch steep.

Anything over $50 a year is too much. They need to compete with XBL.
