What was originally a possibility, or something being "explored" - the possibility of a paid subscription service within the PlayStation network - appears to have solidified to a sure thing.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe head, Andrew House moved the topic from "if" status to "when" in a recent Q&A:

I can assure you that the current PSN as you know it will remain a free service. It is something that our competitors don't offer and something that shows our loyalty to the PlayStation Community. However, Kaz Hirai stated a few months ago that we were looking at a premium service to sit alongside the current free service and that objective has not changed. You'll learn more about it very soon.



The most recent rumour had Sony expected to announce a subscription service which would give customers 1-2 PSN titles a month plus potentially other goodies. Cross-game chat was said to not be part of the package - but more likely to be given out free.

E3 is looking like a good bet to find out more - it's on mid-June.

1-2 PSN titles = those old shitty games.
Dont use PSN enough to pay for a service really.

If they added party chat like 360 then maybe I might sign up if I played enough on it.
