Leaked Information
Leaked Information Reveals Exciting Playstation Network Premium
Service Details
Late last month we found out that Sony is moving forward to offer a
new tier of premium
subscriptions for Playstation Network consumers. Kotaku has
followed up with this information by detailing a
new, credible looking survey outlining the details of this service,
and if they are true it would be a huge boost to the Playstation
experience. We’re talking about cloud storage for games and game saves,
Hulu, music services, and so much more. The pricing would be very
comparable to the industry standard at “$20 to $60 a year, or
alternatively $6 to $9 a month.” I would pay that for some of these
features (courtesy
of Engadget):Customer Service Priority Access
Priority access to PlayStation’s customer service both online and via
phone should you need technical help or have questions about your
products. This feature gives you support with little to no waiting.
Exclusive Experiences with Sony Brands
Get member-only access to attend exclusive Sony events and experiences
throughout the year, including those offered by PlayStation, Sony
Pictures, and Sony Music.
Extended Console Warranty 3 Years
Get your PS3 warranty extended to 3 years as part of your overall
subscription (requires you to keep your subscription active). The
standard warranty on your PS3 is 1 year.
Access to Beta Games
Get access to Betas of popular games not yet released at retail (Betas
offer bigger experiences than typical game demos). You will have the
ability to play these games before others do.
Early Access to All Store Content
Get early access to select free and purchasable game related content on
the PlayStation Store before it’s available to everyone else. This
includes games, add-ons, themes, avatars, as well as free game demos.
Member Demo Sharing of Full Game
Share a level of a game that you just purchased for your PS3 with a
subscriber who doesn’t own the game. Your friends could do the same.
This would be an exclusive demo not available otherwise to those who
haven’t purchased the game.
Cross-game Voice Chat Access
Get exclusive member-only access to cross-game voice chat. This is the
ability to use your headset to voice chat with friends on your PS3
regardless of what they are doing on the PS3.
Full Title Trial – 1st Hour Is Free
Download full versions of select Blu-ray and PSN game titles and have
the chance to play the entire game (single or multiplayer) for free for
the first hour. After that time you will have the option of purchasing
the game to continue playing.
Token Wagering
Get a fixed number of tokens per month you can wager with other players
in competitive online games. These tokens could then be built up and
redeemed for free PlayStation Network games and other content.
User-to-user Challenges
Unlock developer-created challenges while playing games. Compete with
your friends to see who can be the first to complete these challenges.
The PS3 will automatically offer and track challenges and winners and
would post results. An example of a challenge is ‘first to get 10
trophies’ in a particular game.
Free Access to PSOne Classics, PSP Minis, and PS3/PSP Themes
Get a fixed number of PSOne Classic games, PSP Minis (bite-sized games),
and PS3/PSP themes per month to keep for free for as long as you are a
subscriber. The PlayStation Store offers these types of content for $2-6
each.
Discounts on Store Content
Get weekly member-exclusive discounts on specific games, game add-ons
and themes on the PlayStation Store. Discounts may range from 20-50% off
regular retail prices.
Member Only In-game Content
Get exclusive member-only in-game content for your PS3 or PSP such as
new game play options, unlocked in-game weapons or player slots,
exclusive levels, costumes/skins, and PlayStation Home spaces.
Trophy Alerts
Get automated alerts on your PlayStation XrossMedia Bar,
PlayStation.com, and via text message (if you so choose) that alert you
when your friends get any trophy or a specific one. This feature is
customizable – you can choose which friends to receive alerts from and
what kinds of alerts.
Cloud Storage Space for Games
Store your game saves on a virtual secure saver. This would allow you to
access your game saves at any point in time, and from any PlayStation 3
or PSP console you are logged in on.
Online Music Service
Get a streaming music service that allows you to choose your channel
based on music style, artist type, etc. and listen to an unlimited
number of tracks. This service would be for use outside of playing a
game and similar to Pandora or a Last.fm.
Online Music Video Service
Get a streaming music video service on your PlayStation 3 that lets you
stream music videos from a continuously growing catalog of music and
allows you to create a custom playlist to play back.
Automatic Downloads and Updates
Customize the types of updates you want your PS3 to download
automatically. These include game updates (patches) for games that you
own, firmware updates, and game demos downloaded on your PS3 without
manually having to select them and wait for them to finish downloading.
Your PS3 can be set to automatically turn on for updates and turn off
after completion.
Loyalty Program Rewards
Get rewards the longer you are a subscriber and also earn rewards by
engaging with PlayStation such as buying games, downloading movies, and
rating products. Rewards can include full versions of PlayStation
Network games and digital movie rentals from the PlayStation Store.
Facebook Connectivity
Access to member-exclusive Facebook features on your PlayStation 3, such
as viewing and linking your Facebook accounts with their PSN ID’s,
updating your status, editing, uploading and sharing photos, and viewing
photo albums of your friends on your TV.
Catch-up TV
Get access to popular TV shows and movies through service providers such
as Hulu, simply by clicking an icon on your PS3 XrossMedia navigation
bar.
Netflix Access Without Disc
Access the Netflix video streaming service on your PS3 without the need
to insert a special disc into the drive each time to access the service.
A separate Netflix subscription would also be needed to enjoy the
service. Netflix offers over 17000 popular movies and TV shows for
streaming on your laptop or a supported device such as a PS3.

This is just premium service you can pay extra for, everything else before this happens (if it's true) will most likely stay where it is, MEANING PSN will stay free if you don't want the premium service.

Re: Leaked Information
It's a pretty cool option. I would probably pay for it just to get the extended warranty.

It's only a survey list, so it's not even a rumor and most stuff won't happen or happen in different way :>

Re: Leaked Information
I love these features. I wish Xbox LIVE Silver members could play online because I'd much rather pay for PSN Premium.

Didn't Kaz Hirai confirmed that the current features will remain free.

Re: Leaked Information
Any features that PS3 users currently have available to them will remain available for free.
Re: Leaked Information
Man that'll be so awesome. and its not a loss over the 360 cuz you still have the option to not pay and still play, but if you do pay, you pay the same amount as the xbox but you get way more better features.

Re: Leaked Information
Sounds good, but the thing that trips me out about Hulu is that.... I used to always watch shows on my PS3 web browser with Hulu, but I'd say several months ago the Player stopped being supported for the PS3 browser (it happened with some other players as well)
