My point is that they still factored the cost of running the network into the price of the PS3. Even though they aren't directly charging you for it, they are charging you for it somehow |

one could argue that even if they didn't have the PSN the cost of the PS3 would remain the same. It's a package deal type of scenario. |

There is no such thing in business |
| [13:10] !King_Amazon!:
Like when you buy WoW and get a "free month" |
| [13:10] !King_Amazon!:
the cost of that free month is factored into the cost of the game, they just don't say that |
| [13:10] !King_Amazon!:
They would lose money otherwise |

Unless they can run PSN for free, the cost of running PSN is factored into the cost of the PS3 somehow |
