That will make some of the larger software companies happy. While Sony may not charge you to play through their network it wouldn't surprise me if we see some companies trying to charge. Only time will tell.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Sony's online capabilities.

I have an XBOX360, and I personally find that XBOX Live is the bees knees, quite frankly.
It is by far the best online gaming platform available, however, it doesn't have much competition.

It'll be interesting to see how Sony compete, and if they can keep up with the infrastructure that MS already have in place.
Competition can only be a good thing!

its about time that a console company realised that people who currently game on PC arnt going to like paying for an online service...
