Last.fm heading to PSN?


According to an article on CVG, social music service Last.fm could be heading to the PS3 in the future, as its current availability on Xbox 360 has been revealed as a timed exclusive, which is set to expire this November.

2 million Xbox Live users signed up to Last.fm when it launched on the 360 last year, making it an extrememly successful venture. Now, word on the street is that Last.fm would like a couple more million users, in the shape of PSN.

Speaking to OXM, Last.fm boss, Orlena Yeung, hinted at new features for Last.fm on the console saying:

“There is a nice parallel between the community-driven experience at Last.FM and the gamer community on Xbox Live. I think we can create more experience where users are socialising their music taste across gaming and music. We will see…”

The bigger picture here, isn't the fact its Last.fm. With PlayStation Plus, Sony's new premium subscription package for PSN launching next week, will all future expansions and services be only made available to PS+ subscribers,- much like Xbox Live Gold? Will Sony's plan to keep online multiplayer free, be balanced out by offering other content only available via subscription? Time will tell.

Thanks, CVG.
