More PS3 Good News: PS3 Basic Online Services Will Be FREE
The PS3 Good News Department is on a hot streak! Today’s news from the bright side says there will be no charge for basic online services for the PS3. According to Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi, even though the company expects to earn healthy revenues from the sale of downloadable content for the PS3, basic online services will be FREE. (Is it just me, or does the sound of $600 for a PS3 suddenly sounds like a steal?)
“On the PS3, basic services will be taken for granted while content will be the bread and butter of our business.” The PS3’s network services will be available starting on the day of the console’s launch. The company expects consumers to switch to digitally delivered content within one to two years.
Sony prez aslo hinted that the console’s online features could allow multiple Cell processors to work together. “Users will be able to connect to Polyphony Digital’s server. So I want it to be a Cell server, with the number of Cells at a thousand to several thousand. This would allow us to maintain an entire cyberworld, as long as our power supply holds up.” (Again, is it just me?!)
