PlayStation Network Gaming Gets Freemium Title

Kotaku: With free-to-play games like Farmville proving massive successes, it seemed like it would only be a matter of time before that model game to home game consoles. That time has come.

If you choose to play Farmville on your PS3 rather than inFamous 2 or Killzone 3....remove your testicles and never touch a games console again...ever!

[SupaGamer]

and sometimes you want to play a simple game for a change of pace.

[NewsForSnowflakes]

I know dude =] I wouldn't complain if they gave us all these games to play on the PS3. I just hate Farmville =P
I can't see myself playing these games. I just don't want them clogging up the PSN store.

I certainly don't want my inbox spammed to death by other players asking me to help them feed a cow or whatever.

I have been expecting and app for Pogo.com to come for years. Let you play all those games on console. They can just turn the Pogo badges into Trophies/Achievements. One good thing is the challenges for the badges change often. So you'll have to play them often to keep up on getting the awards. Or maybe just give each game the ability to earn the badges in game, and have seperate Trophies/Achievements for whores like me.

Yeah cause adding more things for free sucks....damn some people are dumb.

[BeaArthur]

Sometimes you just don't want to have to think.

[LiquifiedArt]

It only does FREEMIUM gaming!

Edit: Why do people keep talking about farmville? Just because the article mentioned it as a a 'free game' doesn't mean this game has anything to do with social gaming. Apples to Oranges guys.

[GodsHand]

Just read the title, thats all you need to know about what is being talked about.

[Shane Kim]

Agreeing with Squall. Farmville belongs on XBL.

This finally gives me an excuse to make a Japanese based PSN account.

Anybody got any good Japanese name suggestions? :)

[artsaber]

PSN IDs could be: PantyFetish69, Rapecondom01, StickyAnimeComic22... how about those, lol.

On topic, free is great.

[Persistantthug]

I think I like the first one better.

:P

[Brewski007]

Free is free but please i dont wanna see these spam games on my psn. 100% free and masked with advertising telling me to download shitty extras for €2 .

[Redempteur]

pff you DO know that there is already ANGEL LOVE ONLINE ..that you can play FOR FREE in the japan store ?

Right ?

[jaredhart]

I'm sold (well it's free anyway assuming it comes to US PSN).

[tdrules]

this is what happens when you refuse subscription models, you get freemium.
enjoy.

[Persistantthug]

Just like Rag Doll Kung Fu and Flow.

Now I get to open another account that's Japanese based for FREE, and when doing so, I will get more FREE games.

I will enjoy...thank you very much for your congratulations...thank you.

:)

[tdrules]

that's not freemium thats free
DERP

[tiamat5]

It's a choice. You don't have to play it at all

[RIPSKATEDESTROY]

its games that equals hash for the brain

[BubZ-SkullY]

i get sooooo much spam notifications on fb regarding this game, i hope my psn friends don't start sending me this bs, not saying the game is bad or anything, but that derserves to be on gameboy colour, not a next gen console....but hey free is free loool

[duplissi]

well on fb at least you can block the application. i used to get 20-40 notifications for farmville, mafia, etc every day now i get none!

[ReBurn]

The good old nickel and dime model. I don't see why it's such a big deal. We've been getting hit with it all generation long in the form of DLC and having to pay extra for content that already lives on the disc. Having to pay $5 to get the cool extra maps that your friends are playing, a couple of bucks to unlock that really cool costume. And people just eat it up.

[GodsHand]

Good, Good...

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

When is coming to the American PSN?

[PHOSADRA]

Its about time for me to create a Japanese account...

Why do I want to play it?...Well hey its FREE ^.^

[R0me]

Well you guys get old it seems(inc. me), at least I was told that these games are the future and today teens would play more of these games + facebook then ps3/xbox games.
sad... *sad face*
