I don't know why everyone thinks it'll require a subscription at first and then change it. I don't think it'll require one at all, especially now that they announced the console release. It doesn't make good business sense to make some people pay twice each month (for console) and only once for others. Plus the history of sub-based games on console is not promising, to say the lease. I think they'll go straigh buy-to-play like Guild Wars and Defiance. It's the best option for them, in my opinion. And I know I'm not the only one saying this, but if it's sub-based I will not be in it.

Also, on a similar note, game that change their business model too early in their life-cycle it never ends well. Major changes to an MMO shouldn't be done for at least two years.
