PSN magazine FirstPlay to become free?


Recommended Posts

FirstPlay, the weekly interactive PlayStation magazine available exclusively on the UK PSN, is actually quite good. We were impressed by the beta and decided that they'd improved things still further in the first proper episode. Just 99p a shot, or ?8.99 for a three month subscription. Fairly cheap, eh? But it may be set to become even cheaper; free.

The catch (oh yes, of course there is) is that FirstPlay will only be free to PlayStation Plus users. So says our secret agent, who gained this information by reading diaries hidden under the beds of FirstPlay team members. Possibly. The bottom line is however that he tells us FirstPlay is set to become free to PlayStation Plus subscribers "soon".

If you take a look at your PSN friends list, you will almost certainly find that the vast majority are not signed up to Plus. Will FirstPlay be enough to bump those numbers up in the UK? With the occasional free mini or exclusive demo/in ? game item (not to mention the fact that it's nothing like Qore, e.g. it's not crap), perhaps.

I hope this rumor is true - and I don't see why not... Qore and FirstPlay are both produced by Future Publishing - and Qore is already free for PlayStation Plus users in the US...

I think the PS3 needs more like this, I mean the xbox has some vidoe podcasts which are OK. If soemthing like this could come to the PS3 then I might pay for PSN+

This might be good for the average Joe, but outside of the free PSP minis and the odd PS3 theme, FirstPlay has never offered me anything that I can't find online for free.
