It's hard to put too much credence in a survey. Not only is it easy to fake (although this one sounds fairly legit and has popped up elsewhere), but the questions posed could be purely theoretical. That caveat aside, there's a bunch of very interesting stuff in this list of features we just got from someone who claims to have done a survey for Sony about its plans to charge for "premium" PlayStation Network content. The actual subscription costs flung around ranged from $20 to $60 a year, or alternatively $6 to $9 a month, and while some features might sound familiar to Xbox Live members, there's plenty of innovative stuff here that we wouldn't mind seeing pop up on either platform, including: Customer Service Priority Access Exclusive Experiences with Sony Brands Extended Console Warranty 3 Years Access to Beta Games Early Access to All Store Content Member Demo Sharing of Full Game Cross-game Voice Chat Access Full Title Trial - 1st Hour Is Free Token Wagering User-to-user Challenges Free Access to PSOne Classics, PSP Minis, and PS3/PSP Themes Discounts on Store Content Member Only In-game Content Trophy Alerts Cloud Storage Space for Games Online Music Service Online Music Video Service Automatic Downloads and Updates Loyalty Program Rewards Facebook Connectivity Catch-up TV Netflix Access Without Disc What a mouthful! There are definitions of all these after the break, and while the survey seems to imply that not all of these would be available in whatever paid service Sony launches, we could imagine quite a few PS3 users (ourselves, for instance) shelling out cash for some of the perks listed -- as long as they can swallow their Xbox Live Gold-deriding pride.
