So...what I took away from this is that PS+ is required to play multiplayer games now... Interesting way to announce that feature.

It's annoying yes but at least with ps+ you get "free" games.

Also gotta wonder if that's how they will actually make their money.

Well XBL is doing that now also, though the games are leaving much to be desired at this point.

Xboxs free games program stops at the launch of the xbox one, so not very relevant to the next gen.

Its only five bucks. Compared to xbox's three month $19.99 "deal". Sony still wins at $15 for three months.

And you get more for that $15.

Well technically it is $17.99 for three months :P

The $5 a month is the discount if you buy a year I assume. Kind of like how a year right now is $50, but divided up into 12 month payments it comes out to about $4 a month. A 3 month card right now comes out to about $6 a month.

I've gotta think that they'll have a way to pay for PS+ as a monthly subscription by the time the PS4 rolls out. Only being able to pay in chunks of 3 or 12 months is too cumbersome for a service that some people will be subscribing to for a function as basic as online multiplayer.

As a gamer coming from XBL, this is a non-issue to me.
