“Not only will it be completely free to register on the PlayStation Network with no subscription fees and access to many free demos,” said David Reeves, President and CEO of SCEE, “but with these competitive prices for additional content we are able to offer the consumer both top quality games on Blu-ray discs and a whole range of downloadable content from the PlayStation Network.”
The PlayStation Network will be available in 44 countries at launch. Downloadable content will be available in 23 countries across the territories covered by SCEE.
