PlayStation Plus Launch Details

[Terminator02]

In case you're still hazy on the precise services included with Sony's PlayStation Plus subscription (and, let's be honest, that's not your fault), Sony recently detailed the initial offerings on PlayStation Blog. This should help you decide whether or not to subscribe when the service becomes available later today. (Protip: You'll need the latest firmware update -- install it now.)

Basically, you pay either $18 for three months or $50 for a year (plus 3 additional months if you sign up for the full year now). Each month new games will be available for you to download and play as long as you keep your subscription active. For the initial month, you'll get access to Wipeout HD, selected Minis, including Fieldrunners and Age of Zombies, PSOne Classic Rally Cross, Qore epsidoes, and an inFamous "Full Game Trial" (with option to purchase the full downloaded game and continue where the trial ends).

You'll also be able to set up automatic downloads of this content, if you want to feel like you're paying your PS3 to bring things to you.

I didn't see fieldrunners on the PS Store... so I wouldn't be so sure about that, but the rest it true.

Well, more "included with the subscription fee" IMO. I wouldn't say free, but no additional cost beyond the fee for PSN Plus AFAIK.

Nope, when you stop subscribing you can no longer access the "free" games, minis, etc. that you got when subscribed. Also, WHERE'S MA PARTY CHAT!

I might actually get this. £40 a quid a year isn't too bad. And as its my birthday next month, I can always renew it as a birthday present.
