In the most expected reveal of Sony’s E3 conference, the company announced the arrival of a premium service for the PSN, appropriately titled PSN+.

As it has already been known, the new service will not hinder online play for PS3 owners who wish not to pay. The service will include new features such as a streaming music application, which can play music while playing your favorite titles. Subscribers will also be able to receive one free PSN title a month. [continued features, etc]
The price is $49.99 / YEAR.

$50 a year? What is this XBL? Seems like a lot and not sure if what you get in return is really worth it yet.

As soon as there are more details on this, I'll let you guys know.

Those "free" games had better be decent. On par with something at least like Pixeljunk Monsters or something similar at the $9.99 bracket. Even if they just made it decent PS2 titles for download, I would be OK with that probably.

Here is a quote from Jack Tretton:

in the first month getting Wipeout HD, an inFamous trial and the Rally Cross mini.

Other content the users will get includes Avatars, DLC, Map Packs and Qore all of which will be available as long as you are a subscriber.

and that's just to start with, we will have to wait an see what other details there are.
