Both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One also require a subscription fee to play online, but the PlayStation 3 doesn't. Also note that the "free" games you get are tied to your subscription. Once you cancel your Xbox Live Gold (or PlayStation Plus) suscription you can no longer play those games until you resubscribe. You do get to keep any games you bought on discount however.
