E3 2010: Sony Announces "Plus" Subscription For PSN

We've been hearing a lot about it, and it has now been officially unveiled.

As expected, this will not replace the free-to-play model always held by the PlayStation Network; what has been unveiled as "PlayStation Plus" is merely an option. SCEA head man Jack Tretton detailed the new subscription choice: it'll give you access to exclusive content designed specifically for gamers; this includes new digital content of all kinds, from both Sony's worldwide studios and their partners. There will be select demos and other goodies if you wish to ante up; Tretton called it a "full-product offering" that features "hundreds of dollars" worth of content for the willing subscriber. Plus will debut towards the end of this month and you can snag a yearly subscription for $49.99 or a three-month subscription for $17.99. Much like Xbox Live, you can also get three free months if you wish to give it a shot, and you will watch as Plus continues to expand on a monthly and even weekly basis. All sorts of DLC from avatars to whole new levels will be available to you and considering the price, that's not exactly outlandish. Sony calls it an "unprecedented value" and as it most certainly is an option, we have to agree with that assessment.

So if you want to just keep doing stuff for free, go right ahead. If you want more, the Plus option will be there. Nice, no?

Cross-game chat is one of those features you won't miss if you've never tried it. The convenience of the feature is overwhelmingly understated for those who are very active in the online space. Its obvious that those who do not participate in online multiplayer very often would ever care about having such ability.

This is currently the most desired feature for the PS3 than anything else Sony has brought to the table since in-game XMB access.

I don't think it is wrong to slam someone for wanting a valid feature that many PS3 owners would like to have.

Note: I said "many PS3 owners" not "all". Not "most". And absolutely not "you". Cross-game chat is a very useful enhancement for those who like to take their PS3 online.

Nynja-

First off I wasn't trying to slam anyone, those were hardly my intentions.

Second at least 50% of my gaming is done online, and I still don't have the same urge or passion some people do for it. The way I see it, is the people I need to be chatting with, or wanting to none the less, are in the same game with me anyways!

Hey I know all the perks about cross game chat, trust me. What I'm curious about is despite it being convenient. What good is it to be able to talk to a friend who isn't playing MAG (as an example), with you? I mean unless you wanted to invite him to dinner, or maybe a different game, (which can be done elsewhere by the way), what makes it so amazing?

If people want it thats one thing and its great. I am in no way saying it wouldn't be a welcomed addition. But for me there is no reason to raise a fus about it! Plus it looks like it may be coming with the plus subscription so, there ya go!

bigrailer;

Sorry if I came across harsh, it was not intended at you.

What frustrates me are those PSN friends who refuse to give out their phone number so I can speak with them while playing a game. Why would I ever want to do this? Let me explain;

Ex 1: When I am playing a single player game and PSN friends start spamming me to join them in an online match. Sure I could use PSN messages to communicate, but I much rather have the convenience of opening a chat channel with them to let them know I'm working towards a save point.

Ex 2: Lets use MW2 - I'm in a party that's currently full and in a game. My friend is trying to join me and I wish to let them know what is going on and that I will party up with them shortly. Again, I could just send a PSN message but doing that while playing an online match?

Ex 3: Demon's Souls. If I wish to play this with a friend, currently we must communicate via telephone in order to coordinate joining games. Trying to do this using chat in Demon's Souls is a joke, unless you wait in the Nexus.

Ex 4: Not all my online friends are very bright. When setting up lobbies or online matches (i.e.: RA3, R6V, SOCOM, etc) some need guidance to get the game setup properly.

Having to coordinate with online friends is very complicated on the PS3 when compared to the 360.

You are right, no it doesn't. I can't honestly think of anything that I would consider a deal breaker. I do know that for online features, cross-game chat is one of the most requested on the PlayStation Blog and Forums.

As for the PLUS service, I'm not convinced yet. If it did include more community features such as cross-game chat I would consider getting the service more so than now.

12 months in a year. 12/3 = 4 pay periods. $18 * 4 pay periods = $72 per year. Worth it to get the full year if you're just going to pay every 3 months. I think the 3 month thing is something for those not interested in using it all year round.

Awesome. Not only does it still giving free play letting us continue what we're already doing, but we can get stuff for more. A lot of that stuff on the list would cost 1-10$ anyways for premium digital media. The 3 free months is a huge bonus too, so if you're skeptical, you can give it a shot to determine if it's worth it for you.

That's what I would draw form the comments, for now. Subscription expires, games expire. I think I'll be signing up for 3 months and getting the free 3 month bonus. $17.99 for six months, to try it out, doesn't sound bad at all.

Did anyone catch the detail about Qore? Is Qore automatically included with subscription? That sounds great.

@Jawknee,

I think it was stated from the platform that you'd have access to the content for the duration of your subscription. So once the subscription is up, you lose it.

Now the interesting thing is this, after a year on the service you'll have all these extras on your PS3 that you are used to. If you stop your subscription, those extras stop working. That's a built in incentive to re-up. I love it, this thing is optional, online play remains free and yet once you are on the hook with the content, you either stay on the hook or feel the pain of losing content. Very smart business.

This is the key word " optional " not forced a lesson some platforms need to learn....... added value is a under statement fee DLC free games includes priority beta testers, free quore no need to dish out 25 bucks again.. these alone are worth the price with free games thrown in to boot. i'm excited and eager to subscribe as soon as available....

PSN+ is a good OPTION. The great thing is that it's only an option and not "mandatory" like on xbox live (I know it's mandatory there either), but without it it's like you're not even part of it.

I'm really looking forward to seeing just how much of a discount will be offered off of PSN games. I still see no excuse for the avatars that they do offer after all this time. So, that's a bit of a silly offering in my eyes.
I still think that any Platinum trophy you earn should be selectable as an avatar for free. I'm 99% sure I'll be hopping on this offer. It sounds pretty promising. I do buy a lot of PSN games as it is.

I'm wondering, though, if it will offer discounts on ALL PSN offerings, and if so, will that include PSP games? Looking forward to hearing a lot more details.

OK, I can see where the new premium service would be worthwhile, but I'll only get it if the games they give with it are mine to keep, even if for some reason financially, I'm not able to renew my annual subscription again later on.

I mean, if I already bought it & received the game, then I think the game should stay mine.

But I'm not sure what's going to be in Sony's fine print on their new premium service, so I haven't a clue as to how they'll even decide to work this situation out.

the value is there but...other than the games, (hope you like what sony dishes out.) the "+" package is lacking much needed social networking options. no Xgame chat, no XMB parties, no SKYPE app (i can dream.), no sharing music or vids with friends online...HOME doesn't have these options & i guess sony sees no use having XMB access to these types of features for those not interested in HOME either. Can't believe E3 has come & gone, with no network enhancements or FW announcements... E3 disappoints...add on a silent insomniac games, the lack of a R3 trailer or news was a deathblow...totally bummed now.

As for social networking, have you used Home? You do remember that the PS trophies integrate with Facebook, and the PS3 has a full web browser which can access facebook, twitter etc...

Seriously, I think some people want it all handed to them on a silver platter for free.

I haven't logged into Home in over a year, so I can't say much for the advancements it's made. Though, last time I recall voice chat is still not allowed in Home.

If Home actually realized all the wonderful features Sony touted before it's unofficial "Public Beta", I would actually use it more and probably stop complaining about some highly requested features Sony is still holding back on (watching movies with friends, game launching, party/group setup for online game launching, etc).

Most of what is on offer doesn't interest me so I won't be subscribing, so the only thing that concerns me is the EXCLUSIVE DLC.

If this means that there is going to be game DLC released which is only available to subscribers and cannot be bought independantly by none subscribers then that is poor. (I don't include map packs in this).

I don't really want a $50 annual payment just to get access to $20 of dlc that I would historically have been able to buy on its own.

If it's free to subscribers but I can still purchase separately, even if they implement a delay in availablity, then I will be happy enough.

With today's consumers, this is a smart move on Sony's part. Unlike MS, they have content that they can peddle in addition to games and hardware. Fanboys love to throw money at their favorite companies as if the companies really care about them. We are all dollars and cents to Sony and its industry bretheren.

To each his own. There is no value for me. This is just a shinier version of Xbox Live whereby they replaced online gameplay with Sony content. I hope you subscribers don't have ISPs looking to cap your access.

i cant believe how sketchy and evasive they were about this, especially considering its releasing at the end of the month!
sorry sony but if you want me to shell out 50 USD for something you need to be a little more specific in what that 50 bucks gets me.
plus it wont be 50 bucks, 50 USD is more like 70AUD.
but thats not sonys conversion, in sonys mind 50 USD some how translates to 100 AUD.
where the extra 30 bucks came from is a mystery!

the only way sony could get me to spend 100 bucks a year on PSN accesses is if they some how added PSN to bigponds unmetered list.
till then theres no point, because i wont be able to download much.
plus for some reason every time i download something PSN ends up uploading it too.
i downloaded junes edition of qore 1.6GBs i think it was, than i checked my meter usage and i had the 1.6 download PLUS the 1.6 upload on there.
XBL does not do that, it only does the download not the upload.

The E3 announcement was the initial announcement of the feature. What did you want Dille to do, stand there for an hour detailing all the features and content by region? Remember that content is governed by copyright laws in each country/region. You need to be a tad more patient and wait for the specific announcement in each region.
