I'll say again, Sony is insane if they don't make it a mandatory charge to be online through PSN. Microsoft has people like IOU by the balls and they're milkin' it for all it's worth (bullshit of raising the price without a sale for Xbox Live to $60). Sony would make just as much if they charged something similar ($50 a year like PS+ is currently priced at). The infrastructure that the money from Xbox Live allows Microsoft to build would be just as good on PSN if Sony had the balls to actually charge for their online services.

And IOU, I laugh my ass off at people like you that blindly follow the Xbox Live hoard and shell out $40-$60 a year for their shitty service, all the while I get the EXACT same services for free on my PC.
