Endless Paradigm

Quote:Are you, like us frightened by the prospect of having to pay for your PSN service? Are you at all concerned that you might not get the service you're used to if you're continuing to use free PSN?

Don't fret, because if you head over to the EU PlayStation Blog, you'll find a full rundown of what the new PlayStation Plus service will mean for European PlayStation Notwork users from June 29th onwards when the optional Plus upgrade starts up.

Here's a list of all the salient details you need to know about PlayStation Plus from the PlayStation Blog:

    * Launching on the 29th June
    * The current PSN features will remain free. Sony is still very committed to PSN as a free gaming service and is not planning on reducing the service following the launch of PlayStation Plus.
    * Plus is an evolving service and the features included at launch will be:
          o Games
          o Discounts
          o Exclusive items on PlayStation Store
          o Full Game Trial
          o Automatic Downloads
    * Membership to Plus can be purchased through PlayStation Store on PS3 for either 90 days or a whole year (365 days)
    * Local prices for membership can be found below, payment is a one off fee for either of the memberships and can be purchased with any of the current Store payment methods – Credit Card or PSN Cards
    * If you sign up between the 29th June and 3rd Aug for the 1 year subscription then you will also receive a downloadable copy of the original LittleBigPlanet game for PS3, completely free! This is yours to keep and is not tied to the period of subscription

With PlayStation Plus you'll get access to 4 games each month available for download and they'll be your for the duration of your Plus subscription. They will be 1 PSN Game, 2 Minis and 1 PSone Classic.

You'll also get 2 dynamic themes, 2 premium avatars and premium add-ons to download, some of which will be exclusive for Plus members.

Factor in early access to full game trials, demos and betas as well as monthly discounts of between 20%-50%, and you have over £200 worth of content for the price of £39.99/€49.99/$49.99 a year or £11.99/€14.99/$17.99 for 90 days.

These offers apply to the UK and Europe only, and the US PlayStation Plus service will be presented with different PS Plus offers.

there it is,. the secrets about the PlayStation Plus Service,. i read this yesterday ought to enlighten some EP members with a PS3,.
I am not sure but to me,. does't seem to $$ it sure is tempting ;)

you forgot this

Quote:# cross-game chat is not currently included in PlayStation Plus.
# You need to be the master account holder on the PS3 and be over 18 to purchase a Plus membership but other accounts on that PS3 will be able to play the games you download for as long as you are a member.
# The 4 games you can download each month are yours to keep for as long as you are a member.
# Playstation Plus is for PS3 owners as membership can only be purchased on the PS3 Store. However, some of the content – minis and PSOne Classics – available each month will also be playable on your PSP if you have one. Download them on the PS3 and transfer to your PSP, or download directly from the PSP Store or Media Go for PSP.

doesn't sound too bad.

I think I will bite the bullet and go for 50€ for the year, sounds good and 50€ isn't that much for a year^^ Thanks for posting!

its kinda weird you have to stay a member to keep your plus purchases,. O_o except for the free LBP,.
If you decide to cut your plus account after a 1/2 or 1 year,. your plus purchased games will stop playing/>?

no no no no no no V1, your purchases stay with you, only the games they gave you for FREE will expire if you stop the service.
