Update on PSN’s XboxLive Killer

After weeks of white noise, Playstation Network, which you might know by its former name Sony HUB, cleared up most of the ambiguity surrounding Sony’s counterstrike to Xbox Live.  Its online services for the PS3 will offer owners some free gaming at the basic subscription level and allow members to host their own game servers.

Sony’s hopes lie in the ”more games, pay less” strategy will help it catch up with Xbox Live. Aside from the free game playing, the PSN buffet will include voice/video chat, messaging, matchmaking, ranking, game data uploading/downloading, shopping, content downloading, micro payments and subscriptions.
