@Lionhart I doubt PSN will handle the photo and video sharing. That will be done on sites like facebook and youtube. Thats why the Killzone guys posted screens and video on facebook at the reveal event.
@Facelord Exactly! At last a sane voice lol. Sony have already stated that their online functions won't impact on game performance. They even went to the trouble of including a custom chip to handle the online stuff. And I seriously doubt they would include a share button on the controller and then charge people for it's use. As I said I think this is just sensationalist nonsense.
Of course the social aspects will be free of charge. The videos won't even be hosted on PSN. Remember at the PS4 reveal how the Killzone guys posted the video onto facebook? My guess is that you'll be able to link your PS4 account to facebook the same as you can with PS3. It would make more sense to go with that. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony also allowed you to post videos to Youtube either considering you now have a dedicated app for it on PSN. This article seems to have been written with a sensationalist headline in order to get hits.

Re: Talking Point: Why PS4's Social Features Probably Won't Be Free
PS: I also seem to remember them announcing a deal with UStream at the event. Hmmm.
