Recently, many rumors have been circling around concerning Sony and claiming that they are possibly going to introduce a premiere tier service for the PlayStation Network. These rumors really start to be more valid when Sony executives begin to talk about them.
“Why don’t we charge for [PlayStation Network]?” said Peter Dille, who is Sony’s Vice President of marketing. “It’s been our philosophy not to charge for it from launch up until now, but Kaz [Hirai, head of Sony games] recently went on the record as saying that’s something we’re looking at. I can confirm that as well. That’s something that we’re actively thinking about. What’s the best way to approach that if we were to do that? You know, no announcements at this point in time, but it’s something we’re thinking about.”
Fortunately, at the present time, there are not any signs that Sony plans to remove its biggest marketing advantage that it has over Xbox Live which is being able to play the online multiplayer for no money.
What specific features would you be willing to pay for in a premium service?
