Sigh. My wit is so under-appreciated. Either that or it is just not funny.

Ok, bonus points for anyone who can explain the meaning of my first post.

Okay, Roqua, you frighten me. But Kepler, I both got and LOLed at your comment, however... I try to stay away from threads like this!

I'll break it down for Kepler's fans: He sees Sony's collection with free trials as a desperate attempt to gain subscribers now that their recent patches and promotions aren't bringing in as much business as they like (in fact, may be having the opposite effect)... especially after SOE declared open war on World of Warcraft a few months ago.

Since I'm trying to stay objective, a different view of the situation would be that Sony believes they have some great games and they want to make it easier for folks to try them out (even on DSL a client download for an MMO can be brutal). Many gamers do say they'd be interested in looking at MMOs if they could get a free trial first.

Bonus points, please, ol' Kep.
