Meanings of online gameplay in English

Second, Nintendo will begin charging for certain games' online gameplay services.

Sure, the plot plays out like an old, broken record, but the online gameplay is revolutionary.

The online gameplay and shopping service for Sony's PlayStation 3 and PSP has been offline since last Wednesday night.

During the downtime, services including PlayStation Store, PSN account management and registration, entertainment services and online gameplay will be affected.

Players can still play either by themselves or with friends offline, and for the first time online gameplay is available.

This is a pretty big change for Nintendo, who has always been adamant about wanting online gameplay to be free.

And free online gameplay.

As of this writing, online gameplay has been re-enabled in some territories, but the PlayStation Store digital shopping hub has not.

PlayStation Network, which Sony says has around 70 million accounts, provides online gameplay and digital game shopping for owners of PlayStation 3 and PSP devices.

Online gameplay for PS3 and PSP, access to account management features, the PlayStation Home virtual world and other features will go live this week.
