Future Publishing, who own and operate CVG and Official PlayStation Magazine among others, have announced a joint venture video show with Sony. The new show will replace the now defunct FirstPlay which released its final episode on the 6th of July.
The best thing about this new show is that it will be absolutely free. It’s not clear if that means “free to PS+ subscribers” or genuinely free to everyone but we assume the latter, while remaining cautiously pessimistic about the possibility of the former.
The weekly downloadable show will feature HD video magazine segments and professionally produced footage from upcoming PlayStation games. It sounds a lot like a rebranding of FirstPlay, which is no bad thing. We don’t have a name yet but I would half expect something that features inappropriate use of the letter “Q”…

I’m guessing the reason must be that there haven’t been recent subscriptions being purchased and that its UK and Ireland only.

I’m quite annoyed now. FirstPlay was great but really it should have been free to Plus :/

Sounds promising and hasn’t there also been talk of MS making an xbox show?

FirstPlay was ok only brought a couple of episodes. Hope this new venture will be better and its free woo! FirstPlay should have been free to PS+ imo.

I thought it was good until I saw the adverts. I don’t know about anyone else but I personally don’t like seeing adverts everywhere.

i don’t mind ad supported free content, but it does get annoying when you pay for something and get ads.
