PSN - Worth it?

It is interesting since the PS4 its perfectly acceptable to pay for playing online to the Sony fans.
Whereas not so long ago its was the Antichrist.

I guess lots of fans, either think that the improvements made to the online system by Sony, make the charge acceptable or accept that it's no longer viable for Sony to not charge.

I mean, a lot of people pay huge amounts for the tons of crap available on Sky/Virgin TV and then still think it's worth paying even more for add ons channels and pay for view events.

Same as in app purchases on games, until people say enough is enough, companies will continue to make extra charges, where they feel they'll get away with it.

Of course eventually it will get to the stage, where people will know no difference and wouldn't ever imagine a world where you bought a game and the developers actually included everything for one price from the off, rather than releasing a half finished game and adding items at an extra cost.

fozmcfc - I don't agree. Most of my PS4 online friends feel the same as me. They don't think it's particularly worth it, and don't think Sony should be charging either, but you have a choice of paying and playing online, or not paying and not playing online. The best features of the games I like are online IMO (Fifa, GTA, etc.). The trick Sony have is that they pitched the cost of PSN so that most people will put up with it, and their overall revenue will go up, plus there's no real choice. At £30 ish for the year, I won't cut my nose off to spite my face, but if it was £10 a month or more, I wouldn't be paying it.

Im guessing its due to Sonys sales model.

£36 on CD keys for PS+
£22 for xbox live.

A huge gap for similar RRPs
