Sony To Reveal Premium PSN Service At E3
You must login or register to view this content.
According to a high-up, inside source, Sony plans to announce it's Premium PSN Service, after months of rumours, at this year's E3 in Los Angeles. The source also states details such as:
<li>Less than £50 per year.</li>
<li>1 Free PSN game per month, from a choice of 2-4.</li>
<li>A streaming music application similar to Spotify.</li>
The source did state however that cross-game voice chat would not be a paid only service, “I can tell you now, 100 percent, that that’s not the case,” and that “there’s nothing in the premium package which will gimp regular PSN users.” This is great news, as I was always worried regular PSN users would feel heavily short changed if a Premium service was developed. The price tag seems fairly reasonable, but we'll have to wait and see if Sony comes out with any more interesting features, as I'm not really sold on the 'free game' every month.
The announcement of the PSP2 at E3 is now alot less likely with the probability of a Premium PSN service to be revealed, and the source states a TGS reveal is more logical. Expect Sony to focus heavily on the Play and a PSN Premium service.

NOOOOO!! I guess I should have listened to all those chain letters and forwarded them...
Honestly tho, after reading the original article they would have to be offering free bj's for it to be the major part of the E3 show case, for real. I doesn't really make sense to me, especially since the dude is talking in pounds about everything. E3 is in America, so if the information was true why wouldn't they have been talking about it in USD?
If they are offering something like the article suggests its a little confusing, I mean they already have certain things that you can pay more for or subscribe via the PSN. Such as Qore. Maybe if they were adding things to that package and re-selling it as a new thing to get more money from peeps I guess I could see that, but even still why would something so lack lusted in nature be a major part of PS's E3. If something like this does come up on the e3 stage for PS they'll talk about it in passing and move on to more important things...
I really don't understand why they are talking about it in terms of pounds at all... instead of Euros or USD that would make more sense...

Everyone should be glad Sony is charging for some extra PSN features even if they won't get them. It means Sony is finally taking the PSN seriously and is trying to compete with Live.
Nice work Caspa, if any of you guys have stumble upon please like it here:

this will probably be a big waste of money i dont get how they think people will pay to get the same thing people that dont pay have except for a free game a month what they should do is put their cross game chat and loads more stuff in the PS store for premium members of PSN and i bet it will sell like crazy PS is retarted with things they do
