PS4 now requires a paid membership for online play. Just announced at E3. Boo!

At least there's definitely no online authentication thingy. You can play single-player games without ever needing to connect online. Also no used game restrictions.

But man, Sony just couldn't resist the online subscription model.

Don't bother mentioning that said subscription model is Playstation plus, which everyone and their dog has had for a while now. PS+ gives you free games and they're not crap games either. It's also only amounts to about 5$ a month (10$ less than an xbl gold membership), and it's worth it 10 times over even without Mulitplayer requirement.

This better mean that the prices of their expansion packs and stuff are cheaper. The one thing I don't like about PS3 is map packs and things that are $8 on Xbox are 14.99 on PS3. Basically making up for the membership fee of the Xbox really quickly.

Really? On which items specifically? I barely play my 360 and don't do a lot of DLC so I wouldn't know.

I have PS+ as well already. It's more about the principle of the thing.

But as Tony already said, at least it looks like you won't need to pay the fee to do stuff like Netflix, just online gaming only. Oh well, nothing to be done in any case.

Interestingly, Sony has not yet announced hard drive space. This makes me think that it will be like Sony did last gen -- different models for different prices, with $399 being the cheapest option. Otherwise why would they not announce that kind of thing? They also didn't say whether the hard drive will be proprietary or can be switched out with a generic one like the PS3's hard drive can be. The way things have been going, I'm guessing it'll be proprietary this time around.

What's the price of ps+ for a full year? Never bought that. XBL for a year is $5/month. I usually buy in year increments because all I do is play online, long before I even play campaign modes.

I believe PS+ will also be $5/month, or $50 for a full year. That's what it is right now, and since they said current subscriptions will carry over, I'm guessing the price will remain the same.
