None. Sony Computer Entertainment America says that its own games will be free (i.e. Amplitude, SOCOM II, Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain, etc.), however, Sony doesn’t want to lose potential online games to the Xbox or Gamecube, so 3rd party companies can charge gamers if they want to. For example, if Electronic Arts decided that it is not making enough money on Madden NFL sales, it could ask people to pay $5 per month to play Madden online. However, something like that is very, very unlikely, so there is no need to worry. The good news is that the only games that won’t be free are online RPG’s such as Final Fantasy XI ($12.95/month), EverQuest Online Adventures, and EverQuest Online Adventures: Frontiers. Online RPG’s are expensive for companies to create and run, so it is nearly impossible for Square Enix and Sony to offer them without a monthly free. Other genres will stay FREE.
