Nope, PSN is free. There is a paid version called PSN+ where you get a lot of perks (like free retail games and extra features), but it's completely optional. Now, I don't know if their PS4 will require a paid account or not, but I know that none of the current systems do.
Fable 1 and 3 were released to the PC, right? I wouldn't be surprised if MS pushes for Fable 4 for their lineup of W8 games. I think Fable will be the series I miss most of all from Xbox (don't like the way Halo is looking with a new multiplayer every year), and even then only if the main games aren't released for PC anyway. If they are, then I'll just buy a XB1 controller and hook it up to my computer and play it that way. Of course, assuming I ever upgrade to W8, which I doubt I'll do. Maybe W9. ;)
