It'd be a tragic mistep by Sony if it wasn't.

Just because its f2p doesn't mean it'll be available at launch or as wanted, pre-installed.
Uh oh, Thuway just busted out some big ones on GAF. Pre e3 monster leaks beginning?
Bet thuway just turned from "worlds most reliable source (rumors of Durango underclock) to heinous charlatan (rumors of PS4 pay online)
$429 is actually not bad at all if that includes a decent size HDD. Not bad at ALL considering a decent PC gfx card alone costs that.
$529 is scarily close to 599 though for PR purposes.
No idea if these are true but I do KNOW Gddr5 aint cheap, at all.
I cant imagine Gakai costing $100 a year. And if online is 30/year they can say "we're less than MS" (but at that point it's a matter of degree, and MS does have a better network)
Edit: Apparently Kotaku had reported similar things before? Had not heard that.

As predicted thuway no longer reliable
It wasn't debunked was it, just lambasted as "old" and locked.
Edit: A mod did say something like "I heard online play is free".
Well e3 is near anyway.

Oh boy, it begins. This would be a real bummer if all my consoles need pay to play online games
I don't really mind paying to play online TBH - as long as the service does get you something, i.e. an improvment over what PS3 is offering today. I would definately like the possibility that game-saves and login are globally accessable without having to 'create a local username' on the system. More like a way to use your login from another persons PS4 by simply login in over the internet and accessing your trophies, gamestats and especially game-saves. That would make it quite attractive if I were to go to friends place to show a cool game and have immediate access to my game-saves without having to rely on USB-sticks or stupid games that copy-protect their game-saves.
It would be nice if these things are actually handled on a global layer that Sony dictates and not independantly by every game. I want a consistent experience this time and if I have to pay for that, fine by me.

Now that would be the Sony we've come to know and moan, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

This is the equivalent of an oligopoly cartel. I hope its not true
This generation will probably be marked as the worst next gen console revelation ever.
WiiU, XBone and now PS4?

Gaikai is on the menu ? Interesting. What will it offer ? Play old PS games on other platforms ?
I haven't much time for games. What's the point in paying for PSN+ for me then? And with little time for games, the fact I don't get taxed to play Starhawk or Uncharted 3 online on those rare moments means I still get to enjoy them. If I had to shell out a significant fee for a feature I'll use sporadically, I may as well not bother.
IMO monetising online should be about getting people online and then selling them stuff. Like the F2P model, if it's free to enter you'll engage with the most potential customers.
If you've only room for a 6 oz steak at $10, what good is buying a 12 oz steak for $15 even if it's better value? You just waste $5 on food that's going in the trash. Hence no matter what value PSN+ offers, it's a waste for me, and it's not a case that I'm 'not all there.' Quite the contrary, it's because I'm all there that I know not to spend money on something that's no value to me.
