What precisely is bread and butter, anyhow?
Whenever Sony head honcho Ken Kutaragi utters the word "free", it makes us very happy campers. Naturally, in an interview with Impress Game Watch he wasn't speaking of the PS3 itself when he was tossing around the word, but we'll gladly take free PlayStation 3 online service.
When talking speaking about the upcoming PS3 online feature he said, "You can't charge money for network matching and other basic services. These things are just taken for granted on the PC. On the PS3, basic services will be taken for granted while content will be the bread and butter of our business. We really wanted to do this with the PS2. But now Apple has realised a successful e-distribution program, it's about time we made our move, too."
