The internet has been bubbling with rumors about the hinted-at PSN premium service. This article on Destructoid reveals some possible features of said service, including:
- One-hour game trials.
- Exclusive in-game content.
- Unrestricted access to the PSOne Classics and Minis store.
- Cross-game party chat a possibility.
The service (again, according to the information provided by the market survey) will cost between $29.99 and $69.99 a year, with some features being present only on the latter model.
I'm not sure how to react to this, honestly. Though my first instinct is to rejoice that PSN is finally getting the attention it deserves, there's a part of me that cringes at some of the features, most notably the exclusive in-game content. I imagine said content could easily be trinkets that don't really affect the player's experience of the game as a whole, but I'm still uneasy with the concept because I could also see this going in the other direction, and that's not something I think any PS3-owners want.
