Over at Game Kudos, Jim Hargreaves takes a look at Sony's new online service, PlayStation Plus, and how it seems to be favouring it's US customer's as opposed to UK residents.

"At the beginning of July, Sony launched its newest online service, PlayStation Plus, which debuted at their press conference during E3 2010. Subscribing for £40/$50 a year or £12/$17 for three months will grant members access to “premium content” such as beta invites, exclusive discounts, and even the occasional dose of free PlayStation goodness. Just before the service launched, Sony went ahead and posted its two-month plan of subscriber content (July - August), and from this alone members knew they were getting plenty of bang for their buck. However, as July has drawn to an end, one region of subscribers seems to have gained more out of their subscription than others. Let’s compare the value of the first month of PlayStation Plus from the perspective of both the US and UK consumer."

    Big companies favour the countries with more consumers. This brand new information also in; the sky appears to be blue and the world is not, in fact, flat. Join us again at No-Shit-O'clock, this is Captain Obvious for the Week In Derp.

    Yep, it's not really surprising at all. PSN+, quite frankly sucks in the UK. There's nothing there that would make me consider paying for PSN. It really needs improvement.
