As expected, Sony has partially unveiled the new Subscription based service for the PS3. This service will be “on top” of the current FREE PlayStation Network.
This is to clarify that everything you enjoy currently on the PSN will remain free.
For $49.99 USD per year, or $17.99 USD for 3 months, gamers will gain access to a one year Qore Subscription, exclusive beta access to select upcoming games, early access to demos and trials of major games such as inFAMOUS, free minis and occasional free PSN titles such as Wipeout HD which comes free with the first month’s subscription.
The service will offer gamers hundreds of dollars worth of content at a small price. This content will remain under your ownership for as long as your subscription is maintained.
Sony also announced that the first 3 months of the service will be free. It is unclear if the Service wil be free to all for the first 3 months, or that subscribers will gain an additional (first 3) months free, on top of their $49.99 payment.
PlayStation Plus is expected to go live later this month, and more details on the service and it features will be announced soon.
Cross game voice chat maybe? We’ll see.
