A new premium subscription service is coming to PlayStation Network, bringing you extra value and exclusive services straight into your home - welcome to PlayStation Plus.
Available from 29 June 2010 and accessible via your PlayStation 3 when connected to PlayStation Network, PlayStation Plus gives you the option to purchase a membership which expands and enhances your experience for the small fee of €14.99/£11.99 for 90 days, or €49.99/£39.99 for the whole year.
What do you get for your money? Well, PlayStation Plus features include access to loads of content, such as games, game add-ons, avatars and dynamic themes - all at no extra cost. On top of this, members will get exclusive discounts on PlayStation Store each month and even early access to selected game beta trials and demos before anyone else.
As a PlayStation Plus member you will also have access to some new PSN features designed to enhance your gaming experience. Firstly, you will be able to try games before you buy them in a whole new way each month. Full Game Trial allows you to download selected games in full and play them for a limited period of time before you decide if you want to buy them. Then if you do buy them, your progress and the trophies earned during the trial will be unlocked and saved so you can pick up from where you left off.
As a PlayStation Plus member you can also take advantage of Automatic Downloads which is a new feature that lets you set your PS3 to wake itself up, download your game updates, the latest system software updates and new game demos directly to your PS3 without lifting a finger. Your PS3 will then turn itself off, ready with fresh content for when you next play.
If you subscribe for a year's membership before 3 August 2010, you not only get all of the features above, you'll also be able to claim a free copy of the award winning PlayStation 3 platform title LittleBigPlanet.
So don't get left behind - make sure you're ready to enhance your PS3 experience and take PSN to the next level with PlayStation Plus. For more information be sure to check out the linked articles here on eu.playstation.com.

Well you've heard the rumors PSN Premium and you've seen the list/possibilities that it could have too but now Sony has officially announced PSN + at todays E3 Conference.
The prices go
1 Year = $49.99
3 Months= $17.99
When you buy a subscription you will also receive 3 Months free!
-A streaming music application
-The ability to download and play one PSN title per month
-Exclusive betas and demos
-Premium content such as free avatars and DLC.
-Discounts on PSN purchases
-A subscription to digital magazine Qore (Sony: Qore should be free. After all, it primarily promotes your products and should be used as a free marketing tool.)
"You will only keep the content as long as you are PSN +" So once your subscription for PSN+ has run out you will lose all "+" things.
Ok well I've been notified by a few people that Cross-Game Chat will be coming THIS month so does this mean that that feature will be free? If so I won't even get PSN +
Thanks for the update people who notified me of this!
Anyways discuss!

I'm gonna buy a year's subscription to this, and then see if it's worth renewing after a year.
It's definitely better value for money than XBL at least, IMO.

Yes, everything you can do now will still be free.

This is another dumb Sony idea. Nobody will want to switch to that. I believe that it is a complete waste of money. Sony already has enough problems and this is just another one. I think what Sony needs to focus on is taking care of there system updates and also make it so you can play your own music in any game. It will create some activity here on NGU with some new game sharing and the selling and trading of subscriptions which will be a excellent thing but then it will lead to the cause of scams on here. In the end it really doesn't matter to me because I will never pay for it. At least Sony is still letting people play for free which is awesome.
