With PSN improving by the day and catching up to Xbox Live, how will Sony manage to keep this growing service free of charge?
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
As long as Home can be launch soon, Sony has nothing to worry about in terms of making enough money to keep PSN free. Home will feature ads in forms of banners and virtual space. Home will feature extra big apartment that player can buy (revenue as well), probably also some sort of auction house for user generated content which Sony will probably take a few % of the profit. Also company who has their own interactive space will probably be able to sell stuff in Home and Sony will also take a cut of that too. Also real life company like Adidas can sell virtual shoes and of course Sony will act as the government, and there is something called Sales Tax.
With all these sales tax, PSN will be free, and it will even be profitable. That's not including what Qore is doing, which will expand that revenue
I strongly urge you all to read the article and not just the title. This suggestion applies to ALL articles.
when they want to start ripping off people like m$ does for online
free is Sony's middle name lol
but yeah it would be a stupid move if they decide to charge for online play
