but I do think there will be some free option to play multiplayer games online.


I don't know. It's going to be one of those "the other guys are doing it" situations I think. Xbox makes a ton of money off of those fees. 20 something million people on Live x $60 = a lot of cash that could help Sony and soften their initial loss they will take on the equipment.

I can understand if they do, I would just rather they did not.

To add to that, the main reason Microsoft can justify expanding to so many servers is due to the fee's they collect for Live. If I had a Playstation and the option to pay for online use meant massive upgrades then I would be all for it. But I can see the point those are making that play very little online. My question to those are, actually how little do you play online? Less than 50%? 20%? I am pretty much 100% online gaming....if the game sucks online I don't want it. But that's why they make Chocolate and Vanilla.

Yea but I mean something like a pay system based on tiers based around time played, maybe a free for less than 5 hours a month sort of thing.

Who knows, either way I doubt I'll even play online at all.

I bet I played less than 10 hours online over the life of the Xbox & Xbox 360.
