Phil Harrison's media Q&A video from GDC
Can't get enough Phil Harrison in your life? Check out this video from the media Q&A following his GDC keynote for 20 minutes of Phil-y love (and maybe a few furtive glances from Kaz Hirai sitting in the background).
We just love how Phil "swerve[d] a couple of the questions" regarding the hard drive and other hardware-related issues, but we also like how he managed to clarify those questions regarding "content offerings" that will be charged at a "premium," though he did say that there were "no plans to charge for [multiplayer gaming] at the moment."
But, yeah, Mr. Harrison wasn't as combative in his answers as some media outlets portrayed him, which is another great step for platform executives who tend to make rather grandiose statements and fiery claims. If you want to see as well as hear the Phil handle all comers, this is one of your best chances yet. We'd love to hear it all clearly in English at E3, too.

Interesting..., So I guess PSNP is just like Xbox Live Gold in every way...except it is free. What he meant by "not free" is the downloading of extra content for games.

Lets see Sony make money out of this in their current financial state, tisk tisk tisk. I hope they plan on staying for the next-next gen, no offence ment.

They are doing this for one sole reason. Garner more support for the PS3. You tell 15 year olds and their parents that they only buy a PS3 system and a game and they can play online. Parents save $$ in the long run -albeit the initial PS3 cost. In a way it's a HUGE gamble. If they step up to bat and it's a miss, you can kiss something good bye for either current or even next-next gen.
I personally think this is a beautiful idea. I hate paying 100$ (CDN) for Xbox Live). 75 percent of the reason i'm buying a PS3 is because of free online play -and other obvious reasons
