Hot on Microsoft’s rumored plan to swindle some more cash from the consumer comes Sony, who are ever-willing to tease and then disappoint. It looks like the hopes of millions of gamers that Playstation Plus would remain an incredible deal are potentially smashed: Sony seems to be thinking of segregating the rewards PS Plus users get according to how much people are willing to pay.
A marketing survey emailed to customers recently included a number of hints towards this incremental addition to the service. Now, there’s no need to get too worried yet; it could very well not end up coming to fruition. Also, it could be a good thing, as they could handle it in a way that wouldn’t insult current subscribers and cause onlookers to be disgusted. It looks like they’re considering giving full blu-ray disc games to the top tiered users, for example, which is something that’d understandably be kept for the high rollers. Subscription services may be planned for inclusion, too, with Call of Duty Elite getting a shout out.
Obviously, Sony could muff it up, too; they could start removing features and barring people from accessing content they should have the ability to in the first place just to justify their pricing structure. We don’t need two Microsofts, now do we?
Of course, for a lot of people, the price is the most important thing. They’re asking if you’re willing to pay $100 a year for undisclosed benefits, though promising expansive new features, premium downloadable game choices, and the aforementioned “Blu ray games,” whether that means physical copies or digital, we don’t know.
How does this sound to you guys?

Jeez, it's fine as it is. They're just being Jews. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

LikeI've been subscribed to Plus since it started, and I think I've gotten my moneys worth.However, I'm not sure I would pay 100 dollars a year for it.

Likedmcgee627 They'd better have some REALLY good incentives if they plan on charging that much, that's for sure.

LikeGamePlox Some months are really good. Plus got about 60 dollars worth of "free" games in February. But for every great month, there's two months of duds.

Likedmcgee627 Don't forget plenty of occasions where people who consistently buy games new are fucked out of their money when Plus gives titles away for free. It's one thing to give a 10-month old game away, but another to give one away that, a month prior, was on sale for half off and was an impulse buy.
Don't get me started on them lowering certain games to a surprisingly low price (re: Steam) and then giving them away for FREE a week or two later, apparently just to squeeze a couple bucks out of the morons.
