After years of offering a totally free online experience, Sony has announced an add-on subscription service to the PlayStation Network called PlayStation Plus.
All the current features of a standard PlayStation Network membership will continue uninterrupted; PlayStation Plus will work as a premium service, allowing PS3 owners early access to certain game demos, discounts, digital content, automatic updates, and other perks like the PlayStation lifestyle series Qore.
PlayStation Plus will cost $50 a year or $18 for three months. All content from PlayStation Plus is only usable during the length of the subscription, so users won't have access to it after that time period is up.
Plus will launch later this month and will allow PS3 owners a free three-month taste of the service.

PlayStation Network is no longer totally free.
During Sony's E3 2010 press conference, the company announced PlayStation Plus, a new subscription-based service for its PlayStation Network platform. Sony promises all the current features available for free on PlayStation Network will remain free; however, these new features will come at a cost.
By subscribing, users will gain access to "frequent discounts on PlayStation Store content, free and exclusive access to select games, full game trials, early invitations to select betas of popular games, and new functionality such as content downloads and updates which will automatically be 'pushed' to the PS3 system even when consumers are not using their system."
Additionally, PlayStation Plus members will have free access to titles including WipEout HD, Minis and PS one Classics such as Fieldrunners, Age of Zombies and Rally Cross, a full game trial of inFAMOUS, and discounts on downloadable content such as Fat Princess. Members will always have "access to their virtual library of free games."
You will be able to own these for the duration of your subscription. New content is expected to be added to PlayStation Plus every month.
A one-year subscription will run you $49.99, while a three-month subscription will cost $16.99. SCEA is also running a "limited time offer" giving subscribers 3 free bonus months for signing up for a 365-day subscription
PlayStation Plus launches on June 29, 2010.
