Sony To Reveal Premium PSN Service At E3

According to a high-up, inside source, Sony plans to announce it's Premium PSN Service, after months of rumours, at this year's E3 in Los Angeles. The source also states details such as:
<li>Less than £50 per year.</li>
<li>1 Free PSN game per month, from a choice of 2-4.</li>
<li>A streaming music application similar to Spotify.</li>
The source did state however that cross-game voice chat would not be a paid only service, “I can tell you now, 100 percent, that that’s not the case,” and that “there’s nothing in the premium package which will gimp regular PSN users.” This is great news, as I was always worried regular PSN users would feel heavily short changed if a Premium service was developed. The price tag seems fairly reasonable, but we'll have to wait and see if Sony comes out with any more interesting features, as I'm not really sold on the 'free game' every month.
The announcement of the PSP2 at E3 is now alot less likely with the probability of a Premium PSN service to be revealed, and the source states a TGS reveal is more logical. Expect Sony to focus heavily on the Play and a PSN Premium service.

I'm glad it'll just be a "if you wanna buy it" thing. Because if everyone had to pay for PSN, I would just switch to Xbox with all of my friends. The main reason why I bought a PS3 was so I didn't have to pay that $50 a year... and for Final Fantasy and God of War =D

Well, i'm happy with this as long as i/we don't have to pay money to play online, just like the xbox, but like seriously, imagine how many people would stop playing online just because they have to pay, but premium is good enough, 1 free game every month, just curious about stacking up, like, if you're away for a month, and it been 2 month, would you get 2 games for free?? since you missed out on the first one, that is just what i'm worried about,
