i wouldn't mind that at all i would actually prefer it.

the one time fee would probably be in the hundreds, or it'll be a weird business plan. people would just subscribe once and get everything then wait till next year to subscribe again or sth wouldnt they

Subscribing for actual PSN content sure would beat, hands down, subscribing just for multiplayer access and the ability to pay for individual content via points cards...

I simply don't like the overall idea of paying for internet, to pay for XBL, so that I can spend my paid for points cards (or to be able to use the multiplayer functions of my paid for retail games) - especially when generally you already pay through the arse for the junk that is the main box to get the opportunity to basically.... you got it! NEVER stop paying again!

Sorry XBL fans, not many other comparisons to draw from aside from free PC networks. Hope you all enjoyed your recent paid for outage, you don't always get what you paid for.

Go Sony! I know you guys can do better simply because you generally give a darn what people want to pay for - hence the survey long before the product - wrather than take it or leave it.
