Sony considering a subscription service for the PlayStation store?

[Jagi]

Sony is running a survey over in Asia where a question on the list asks “Which of the following offer from PLAYSTATION®Store (PC) that you find it appealing?”. One of the selectable answers is “Monthly subscription plan (1 price for unlimited download).”



While this is far from concrete information, I welcome the idea of PSPTap. If I can spend $5 or $10 to get unlimited access to a library of downloadable PsOne Classics and a handful of PSP originals like Beats I would do it in a heartbeat. Another question asks what kind downloadable UMD games people want to see on the store. There are some obvious choices like the Tekken series, Piposaru games and LocoRoco. I was initially surprised to see the text heavy Yarudora adventure game series on the list, but it’s on there because most of the games are localized into Chinese! Yes, even the Blood the Last Vampire game is in Chinese, but no company felt it would be profitable to localize it in English. As of now, Asia’s PlayStation PC Store is populated with RPGs localized in Chinese.

It's only a matter of time before they offer something.

One of these companies needs to come up with an unlimited downloads for movies.

MS + Netflix seems like the logical answer but Sony owns its own in house movie studio.

I hadn't seen enough things that I would want to download to consider something like that. I don't just download crap just to download it (MK2 & Q bert). If they started adding quality content I would consider it.

As long as I can continue to download those demos for free, I'm good. That's saved me about 200 bucks by keeping me from buying crappy games.....and turned me on to some really good games that I would've slept on otherwise.
