The one posted by darkwing_uop is for EU psn (in terms of freebies). While the previous post refers to HK psn. Looks like there will be different offers per psn store. So far I would chose US since it has 12 months + 3 months when you sign up and we have yet to know what will be the freebies this month will be

It would be really a steal if the games you download are yours forever. But as one user already pointed out, they're yours only for the duration of your subscription. I didn't like the way they positioned the word free when in the long run, it's actually a lease.

PlayStation Plus Coming Soon

Posted by Susan Panico // Sr. Director, PlayStation Network

If you have been paying attention to all of the news coming out of E3, you probably heard that we introduced a new subscription service called PlayStation Plus, which will be available on June 29.

PlayStation Plus

PlayStation Plus is a service that lives on top of the current PlayStation Network. So, while users will continue to have free access to PlayStation Network’s unmatched and ever-growing suite of new and exclusive content, services, and community focused tools – just as they do today – PlayStation Plus subscribers will gain access to an exclusive set of features and content designed specifically for gamers.

When you subscribe to PlayStation Plus, you’ll get free games and DLC (pretty sweet), frequent discounts on PlayStation Store, early invitations to select betas of popular games, and free monthly episodes of Qore – our high-definition, interactive gaming lifestyle show. You’ll also enjoy new functionality such as Full Game Trial where you can “try before you buy” – play a Blu-ray or PSN game for up to one hour and then you can buy the game, download it and keep your progress and trophies. Another cool feature is Automatic Downloads that will push select demos, game related videos, patches and firmware updates to your PS3 so you don’t have to think about it. Total it up and you’ll get hundreds of dollars of value through the year with exclusive digital content from both our World Wide Studios Group and our publishing partners. And every month we’ll be adding new content and continually adding new features, making PlayStation Plus an incredible value, time saver and ticket to front-of-the-line access.

At launch, PlayStation Plus will offer subscribers the full PlayStation Network game, WipEout HD, full game trial of inFAMOUS, PSP minis and PS One Classics such as Fieldrunners, Age of Zombies and Rally Cross, as well as premium avatars, themes and DLC levels and map packs. Additionally, subscribers will always have access to their virtual library of free games for as long as they keep their PlayStation Plus subscription. In all, subscribers will get an unprecedented amount of value, access and convenience and, in the first month alone, will receive more than $50 worth of content.

PlayStation Plus will be available for a yearly fee of $49.99. We are also running a “limited time offer” giving subscribers 3 free bonus months for signing up for a yearly subscription – so those who
sign up now will get 15-months of PlayStation Plus. Consumers also have the option to subscribe for 3 months for $17.99.

You can sign up on the PlayStation Store or learn more about the exclusive features at us.playstation.com.

Baka

And here it is! PlayStation Plus has been announced. As we suspected, the PlayStation Network itself will not change, while power users can upgrade for $50 a year or $18 for three months. And to sweeten the deal, your first three months are free. And what do you get for your hard earned dough? Tons of premium content, including "hundreds of dollars of products" throughout the year, early access to betas, and Qore. Sony is also indicating that Plus subscribers will be able to send voice messages to other gamers to invite them to play, even if they've made the foolish decision to not subscribe to Plus. Naturally, though, they won't be able to reply in kind unless they too pony up the cash.

…And there we have it. PlayStation’s newest subscription service is called PlayStation Plus. The fued over PSN over XBox Live has now been levelled due to both services coming at a premium. You get hundreds of dollars worth of value every year. Free content, PSN games, minis , discounts on media, automatic downloads. It will be available later this month, a full year for $49.99, three-month $17.99. The first three months are free for a limited time… Also included in PlayStation Plus will be Qore.

This new service will not replace the curent FREE PSN service we’re all used to, but instead will enhance the PlayStation Network expereince says Jack Tretton. Additional content and early demo access are just some of the benefits you’ll find with PlayStation Plus. PlayStation Plus subscribers also would get “hundreds of dollars” in free content and discounts on certain items within the PlayStation Store. Let’s hope it’s not for just older games like PAIN. I already have that “non-trophy getting” game. Yes, they’re THAT hard to get!

PlayStation Plus: it’s fresh, added value stuff for PlayStation fans who want a little bit more from the otherwise free PlayStation Network. But the information around is a little big confusing, and incomplete. Sure, there’s press releases, but these don’t always make it through to the public intact, and whilst over on the EU Blog James Thorpe is answering as many questions as his little fingers can reply to, there’s a lot to get through.

So, in the interests of simplicity, we’ve rounded up most of what’s important about PlayStation Plus so you can get a quick look at everything the brand new subscription service offers.

How much does it cost?

It’s €14.99 / £11.99 for 90 days and €49.99 / £39.99 for a whole year’s subscription.

What are the main features?

Monthly discounts on PS3 and PSP games, 4 free games a month, automatic downloading of patches and updates, and the ability to trial new games. More information here.

Does PlayStation Plus include Cross Game Chat?

No. The official line from Sony is that PlayStation Plus includes “games & special offers, full game trial and automatic downloads,” but we’re told that the service will “evolve over time” and that “anything they add will be a bonus.”

What happens to the content you get once your subscription ends?

Anything you buy with the exclusive discounts including exclusive add-ons, avatars and themes will be yours to keep. If you sign up for a year and download LittleBigPlanet, that’s yours to keep too.

However, the content you get for free (or, at least, included within the price) with the service, such as the minis and so-on will only work as long as you are a member of PlayStation Plus.

Do you get your games back if you re-subscribe at a later date?

Yes.

Which European territories won’t be able to sign up for PlayStation Plus?

The only territories that have access to the Store but will miss out on PlayStation Plus are Turkey and Russia.

Will there be new features in the future for PlayStation Plus members?

Again, we can only quote the official line: Sony “will always be working on evolving the service.”

What’s the ‘full game trial’?

It’s an hour’s rental, included within the PlayStation Plus price, for new PS3 games. You’ll get to demo the full game for 60 minutes, and if you decide not to buy it after that you still get to keep any Trophies you have earned, although they won’t be unlocked unless you buy the game.

Will it be all games available on the Store for Plus members as they’re released?

No. Sony will “select the best Blu-ray and PSN titles for the trial”, giving 2 different titles each month.

What games do you get included with the fee each month?

There are four games every month: 1 PSN PS3 game, 2 PSP/PS3 minis and a PS-One classic.

What firmware version does PlayStation Plus require?

3.40, which will be released, as far as we know, next week.

Do European gamers get the 3 free months like the US gamers do?

No. The US PlayStation Plus gamers get 15 months for the price of 12, but European gamers get LittleBigPlanet instead.

Can you, for example, sign up in December and get the previous five month’s worth of games for free?

No, you must be signed up for that month to get that month’s games.

Does each PSN account on the PS3 require PlayStation Plus membership to play the included games?

No, as long as it’s the master account, the sub accounts should be able to play the “majority” of the games.

Will my PS3 automatically shut-down after it’s automatically downloaded any patches and updates?

Yes. The PS3 will “automatically wake up, download, then shut down afterwards,” and you can also set the time it wakes up to best suit you.

Which games will it automatically patch and update?

The system looks at the last 10 games you’ve played, and then “the 10 before that”.

Will it update games from any region?

Sony say they “don’t see why it wouldn’t.”

What will the discounts be like for existing games?

Sony say the discounts “largely range between 20 and 50% and they vary by title”.

Can I play the minis and PS-One classics from PlayStation Plus on my PSP?

Yes, although your PSP will need to go online once to confirm you’re a PlayStation Plus member.

sana yung free games, may choice ka, not just 1 per month, like choose 1 from 3 choices.
