PS3 online play is free?
Via PS3fanboy
PS3Land is stating that they have an actual PR source claiming that the PS3's online multiplayer will be available for free right out of the box. Now, as much as this blogger would love to believe this statement, no factual evidence is presented by the website other than an unnamed Sony Computer Entertainment America PR Manager informing them to "Please note that online gaming will be free right out of the box."
Considering Sony's past of leaving online play and upkeep to the third-party developers/publishers and refusing to adopt a unified online structure like MIcrosoft's Xbox consoles have, should we expect Sony to shift more towards the online model of Microsoft or assume this is just another drop in the well that is internet speculation?

I hope it is free, because after I cough up all that dough for the system I'll be broke to play it online!!! (But I can't get highspeed internet, so online gaming is almost out of the question
)

Most likely it will be free like xbox live silver is free, you don't get all of the features, they most likely have a paying option that gives full access.

I would love see online multiplayer on PS3 to be free, no matter what price it turns out to be, I would definatly get the PS3 then.

I love all the hate against sony on this site and most other homebrew psp sites. Umm...people...if you hate sony so much sell your damn psp. Anyways like others have said, the ps2 online service was free, so I don't see why this would really be any different. Now this is still speculation though.
