Tao said the company plans to “minimize the impact” of rising memory costs by focusing on “monetizing the installed base” and growing software and network services revenue.

Maybe something lost in translation but that sure sounds like gouging existing customers to me.

    I mean I can see it now on the game cases, in fine print: “requires constant Internet access and a current PlayStation network subscription”.

    And then we’ll all be saying we thought Nintendo’s game-key cards were bad.

      What’s extra lame is that if I pay for the multiplayer game, I have to subscribe to the service to play the game.

      But if I get a multiplayer game that is FREE TO PLAY, I don’t need the subscription to play it.

      That is fucking bullshit and, if anything, should be reversed.
