Sony has confirmed that an announcement on a paid service is on its way.

European PlayStation boss, Andrew House, told CVG that they would be revealing the details soon.

House said: "I can assure you that the current PSN as you know it will remain a free service. It is something that our competitors don't offer and something that shows our loyalty to the PlayStation Community."

He did add: "However, stated a few months ago that we were looking at a premium service to sit alongside the current free service and that objective has not changed. You'll learn more about it very soon."

Expect full details to be unveiled at E3.
