Playstation Network Plus

Playstation Network Plus is a paid service added to the already existing free online service available on the PS3. Playstation Network Plus does not "overwrite" the free service, but rather offers people who pay more features than those who don't. It is available in various time frames: 30 days, 90 days, and 365 days (1 year).
