That means that you have 6 months to check out the service and listen to 7 million tracks before you decide to sign up for a full subscription.

The Basic service offers an ad-free internet radio style experience with access to dozens of music channels by genre, rap, rock, etc., era, 2000s, 1990s, etc. and mood for example energetic, mellow, morning and many more.

Ahoy me hearties! Yo ho ho and a dead man’s chest!

Fool Throttle takes to the high seas this week with some piratical pomp for you to enjoy. Four of the scurviest seadogs ever to walk the plank arrive in PlayStation Home and their garb is not for the lily livered!

Corsair Cordial and Captain Capricious are the sort of pirates who’ll kiss your hand as they help themselves to the silver in your pockets. Their clothing is woven from exquisite fabrics and their boots are made from the finest leather. They can mingle with the aristocracy unnoticed. When they aren’t crossing swords with them, that is.

Buccaneer Bubbly and Shipmate Shindig are the other kind of pirate. More at home bellowing sea shanties than rubbing shoulders with the wealthy, these two aren’t the sharpest cutlasses in the armoury, but they’re the most fun. They dress as they live – practical with a splash of colour and daring.

And what’s a pirate without a loyal companion? Someone who won’t complain about getting short-changed during looting raids, or being made to do the night shift in the crow’s nest. That’s where Barnacle and Picaroon come in. A tough old crab happy to give lazy crew members a nip and a wily little monkey who’s pretty handy with a sword too.

Head down to the Lockwood store and pick up some pirate booty today! Also available as value packs. And, why not let us know what you think in the comments and use this online pirate translator to YARRR up your feedback.

Over at the LOOT store – we asked ourselves ‘What’s the coolest thing ever?’ Answer: Dinosaurs. So, the LOOT wranglers have brought you our fiercest, deadliest and oh-so-cutest companion – The Lootosaurus. But beware, while all six styles are adorable, they’re clever girls. Raaaawr!

Join us for the Grand Opening of the Novus Prime store in the Shopping Centre! To celebrate, we have added a new FREE virtual item. You’ll find the new store in the second Shopping Centre, which is also now host to Sodium TankTop Shooter minigame. If you haven’t tried this yet, check out this free trial or purchase the Blaster’s Paradise apartment to unlock the full game.

In Threads, Alter Ego and the Furniture store, you can pick up the latest Dragon’s Lair II: Time Warp items, ahead of the forthcoming PSN release. The Billabong store also has an update with some new tops and hats.

In Home Square you may notice a new, shiny star gleaming and beaming. Here you can find all of the latest and greatest items released in PlayStation Home. If it’s new or recommended, you’ll be sure to find it here.

Looking ahead to next week, we are pleased to announce that the Welcome Home package will be available from 30th June. We’ve worked to bring you some great games and items that haven’t graced PlayStation Home in Europe before. Stay tuned to next week’s post for further details.

Finally, if you haven’t yet discovered the E3 booth and theatre, there’s only one week left to check it out. E3 trailers and some unique rewards await you, but hurry, as this space will only be around until 30th June.

Hi Guys, I hope you’ve been enjoying all great content like Burnout Paradise and Streets of Rage 2 this month.

Before I let you know what you are getting as mid-month treats, I just wanted to make sure you haven’t missed out on the great Ubisoft title Beyond Good & Evil at the exclusive 20% Plus discount. Last week we added a demo of the game to the Plus section of the Store and also pushed it to you via Automatic Download.

If you want to receive this demo without lifting a finger then make sure you turn the Automatic Download feature ‘on’ under the ‘settings/system settings’ menu of the XMB. This feature will also save you valuable time by automatically downloading game patches and system software updates so your PS3 is ready to go next time you want to play.

Here’s what the guys at Ubisoft wanted to tell you about the game:

Dear PlayStation 3 gamers, the wait is over.

I’m very happy to announce that Beyond Good and Evil HD, the beloved action-adventure classic enhanced for a the PlayStation 3, is already available for download on the European PlayStation Store.
For those who missed the original, here is your chance to discover a game that many consider a classic.

The epic story of Jade, a young photo-reporter uncovering a terrible conspiracy threatening the galaxy, will keep you entertained for hours. And then there’s the 56 wildlife species, 88 pearls and 12 trophies to locate and unlock. For £7.99/€9.99 it’s going to keep you busy for a while.

And for the fans, do I really need to say anything convince you to revisit it? Your beloved game has never looked so good, now with new enhanced textures and in gorgeous High Definition graphics.
And if you needed anymore reason to get this game then don’t forget that you Plus members get an exclusive 20% off. At that price it’s a steal! Check out the trailer of this great game right here.

Here are the mid month treats that are available for all Plus members, including those with the Welcome Back free membership. You will be able to find these later today in the Plus section of the Store:

MAG Interdiction map pack – 100% discount
Braid (PSN game) – 75% discount
Young Thor (mini) – 75% discount

SOCOM: Special Forces:

Abandoned Map – 100% discount This popular “Suppression” map from SOCOM 1 and 2 makes a comeback in SOCOM: Special Forces. Abandoned takes place in the daytime around an ancient Thai village deep in the misty jungle. Fight your way over dense hillsides, through dark caves, and into the close-quarters mayhem of the archeological site. Classic SOCOM heritage meets evolved SOCOM: Special Forces action.

SU90-Shotgun 100% discount An extremely high quality, versatile and powerful weapon, the SU90-S is the preferred tactical shotgun among the Special Forces. This 12-gauge shotgun is equipped with slug ammunition for serious stopping power. It inflicts heavy damage in a focused area and features a greater effective range than standard shotguns – Note this appears as a different gun depending on the forces that you use.

I’ll be back on here soon to let you know what great content and special treats will be available for PlayStation Plus’ 1st Anniversary!
