lot of rumours about sony charging for service fly around playstation network, to which there is a measure of truth. Sony do want to charge for some network services calling it a "Premium Package".
But before i hand out the link i feel obliged to say that this new service will not affect or replace anything we are currently recieving for free like online multiplay, playstation store etc.

I think that some of the things offered in premium are worth paying for and would like to see where they're going with it.
The AvP demo gives you the option to invite people from a chat group.... this has lead me to believe the next firmware update may include crossgame chat one of their so called premium features..... interesting.
