wow, great analogy there (rolls eyes). That has nothing to do with what
we're talking about.

Yes it is, for me. $59 for something I rarely play is too much to pay in my
case. On the other hand when Sony said "we'll give it to you for free", I
thought "wow, that's cool...I won't do it often, but it's nice to have that
ability when I do, at no extra cost to me". It was definitely an
"attractive" feature to me. If they decide in the future to charge $59 it
will likely turn "unattractive" to me and I wouldn't buy it.

LOL....$59 is not "basically free". It's $59 away from being "basically
free".

Again, I get online multiplayer capabilities, demo/movie/extras download
capabilities. I get that for "completely free", not "basically ($59) free".
