Lol.. Had you been able to prove that I was being an idiot, I would have given you every item I had on my account... 10k tc will have to do then.
PM me whenever MS talks in detail about their DRM policies to a (moderately) popular media outlet.. with the proof of course.

Thanks.
“We are going to make a very significant step-change in the online experience with PlayStation 4. Some of that functionality was spoken about yesterday, and some on February 20, and that’s all great and we’re really happy that we’re able to make our online experience much more competitive, but the flipside is that this stuff comes at a cost.
When you’re trying to achieve a £349 price-point and trying to deliver all this functionality, the money has to come from somewhere.”

If you lot had looked into this stuff as much as you all keep making out then I wouldn't have had to post this. Do the research.
<Erf> SkulFuk: gf just made a toilet sniffing joke at me
<Erf> i think
<Erf> i think i hate you
price of the ps4 is almost too good to pass up.
But Il see how long my ps3 can keep me entertained for.
Not in any rush to spend my money just yet.
Xbox is getting good promotion out of all this negative feedback. Any promotion is good promotion.

Ok but there's a few problems.
1. I asked for a citation, and while you did quote someone, it's not even in context. Was he previously talking about pay-to-connect?
2. "has to come from somewhere" is purposefully ambiguous, and if he /was/ previously talking about pay-to-connect, then why didn't he just say so?
I think you have made some non-sequitur logic in assuming that paying more money automatically makes something better, and that paying for the PS3 network in particular will mean more money is spent on the network.
You obviously don't know this, so I'll explain it; Sony actually receives money from all games sold for the PS3. If a game requires the network, Sony can simply charge publishers for it. There is absolutely no reason to think that the current PSN is magically supported without anyone paying for it. Shifting the costs from publisher to user does not give Sony more money to spend on the network. However if they double charge the publisher and the user, then obviously they will have spare money.
I know that the business model of consoles can be a bit tricky to understand, but I can assure you that Sony wasn't supporting the PSN out of the goodness of their hearts!
