Aww yissssssssss TT_TT

GTA V just got better.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

$9.99 a month for premium unless u got the 3-month deal a little while ago.

Thanks info, any yearly subs? id much rather pay a lump some price to not have to worry about paying every month.

 

[boredofcanada]

Fucking finally.

 

[Derpyduck]

A guy called BADF00D on Reddit last April said an Xbox One version was coming too.

Did he also indicate when the ability to play music in the background is coming? Because right now Xbox One has a music service that's better than Spotify, but it's impossible to use unless you snap it, which to me is unacceptable.

Yes, it's yearly. I get it for 50 a year with a student discount.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Well now I'm gonna cancel my Spotify subscription and switch to Xbox Music now that I know Spotify probably won't come to Xbox One.

It's supposed to get you to switch to a PS4

Backward incentive ehhh..

 

[NeoRausch]

Oh cool, but is this:

PlayStation Music featuring Spotify

really the full name? What happened there? Why not "PS Spotify" or something along those lines?

 

[Aticos]

YESS!!!!!! REALLY HAPPY

 

[shiftplusone]

i hate these things because I just want to know when

i dont always use custom soundtracks when I play but this will be great for when I dont want to use my ipad to stream to the receiver, especially if I already have the ps4 running or whatever

 

[Proxy]

I would kill for some Google music integration.

[Maxxan]

This is pretty huge! Hope all future open world games with car radio offer a Spotify channel!

 

[Dr. Malik]

Yasssssssssss 😭😭😭😭👌💯

 

[jaaz]

Megaton? Megaton

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

Wow.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

He said that it would be a universal App, so that would suggest when Windows 10 arrives on Xbox One.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

But who even likes Spotify?

Not Taylor Swift.

 

[Piccoro]

Austria and Portugal are confirmed to have PlayStation Spotify (we never had access to Music Unlimited before!)
http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/01/28/playstation-meet-spotify/
Woooo!!!

 

[Monkey_Plunkett]

Wow, this is pretty unexpected, I had music unlimited thought it was a great service, can't beat driveclub with some prodigy blasting in the background. Guess I'll he changing to spotify now

 

[Ape]

Music Unlimited was super shit and quite heavy on the OS. It never worked as intended and once you start running it, good luck getting back to change songs.

I'm glad they're killing it. Smart smart move.

Yikes. Maybe it was better to partner with Spotify than to put the money into completely re-doing the Music Unlimited App. Just brand recognition alone imo is worth it. I switched from Xbox Music to Spotify and honestly everything is about the same. Good to know that at least one of my consoles will have background streaming!

 

[Withnail]

I was probably one of the few people who thought MU was fine tbh. It has an extensive catalogue and gets new releases on release day. What more does a streaming service need to do? Still, Spotify is clearly the market leader so this is probably a good thing.

Curious what it will mean for my Sony AV receiver though since it has an integrated MU service. Hopefully it gets an update.

A guy called BADF00D on Reddit last April said an Xbox One version was coming too.

Who?

 

[Carn82]

Not sure about it being fishy. Having something called Playstation Music may be something of an umbrella for other Music services to come along

I recall reading that they really want to push the Playstation brandname (Playstation Now, etc) since it's the most profitable businessunit

 

[Fersis]

BASED YES

 

[tusken77]

Excellent news!

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Best move Sony has done with the PS4. can someone that used Music Unlimited say if the games can pause songs or lower them during cutscenes?

 

[ghostlight_ross]

Sweet. Just got Spotify a few weeks back. This will probably persuade me to get a premium account.

 

[AaronMT86]

Interesting. I wonder if this will work well with headsets in that you can have chat audio in parties (re: Destiny raids) take priority and have Spotify music going at the same time. How will this work in games (again like Destiny) where you can’t mute game music?

 

[SSReborn]

This is fantastic !!
Great news !

I hope they will remove music unlimited from my bravia smart tv and my Xperia Z3 Compact.

The one thing about Music Unlimited in relation to the media app Walkman on Xperia's is that your music list from that integrated with the Walkman music list. I hope that they somehow get Spotify do the same thing because some music in paticular that.

 

[alterno69]

This is great news, good move.

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/01/28/playstation-meet-spotify/
Woooo!!!

I'm gonna guess that every country that has access to Spotify in their country will have access to it on PS4, assuming that the country has access to the PlayStation Store.

 

[Aticos]

PlayStation Music featuring Spotify will be available at launch, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil. From February 28, 2015

UK?

 

[Niwa]

fuck yes

 

[naeS]

Awwww yeah, great news.

 

[Derpyduck]

I hope they're smart about this and let us put the music on our HD.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Background play?! WHAT?!

 

[The Wraith]

Great move by Sony. I am extremely excited for this. I skimmed through the announcement but have they revealed when the release date is for the app?

 

[Floridian]

Thanks info, any yearly subs? id much rather pay a lump some price to not have to worry about paying every month.

I believe it's $120 for a yearly sub if u buy an e-card for spotify, but i'm not that experienced with it, so I stick with the monthly sub.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Spotify is nice but I rather have DLNA background music.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Background play?! WHAT?!

PS4 allows music to be played in the background while playing games. Music Unlimited did this too.

 

[Angel_DvA]

That is amazing !! I'm using Spotify like everyday, huge news for me !!

 

[Dynomutt]

Thanks info, any yearly subs? id much rather pay a lump some price to not have to worry about paying every month.

You can get yearly subs on eBay for $20 sometimes $10 bucks!

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Background play?! WHAT?!

Why not? Music unlimited already does that + mp3 player does too. (You just sound shocked lol)

 

[truth411]

I'm probably one of the few subscribers to music unlimited, decent service but I know nothing about spotify. So if I'm understanding this correctly since I'm already a member of Music Unlimited, my account gets transferred automatically or do I have to create a Spotify account myself and Cancel Music Unlimited?

 

[TalonJH]

Crazy, expected XB1 to get it if anyone. Never thought It would come to PS4.

 

[njean777]

Great I have been subscribed for awhile and will use this!

 

[Strider]

HOLY SHIT SERIOUSLY?! YEEEEES.

I wanted this so badly but didn't think it'd ever happen.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

ive been playing via USB the hot pursuit OST with driveclub

gonna try this

 

[Dynomutt]

Whaaaaaattt??? Your getting robbed man! You can get yearly subs on eBay for $20 sometimes $10 bucks!

 

[Captain Smirk]

Game changer...wow...return of the multimedia KING!!!

 

[Skelter]

This is awesome. I'm still on the .99¢ plan from the holiday special pricing.

 

[Carl]

I've been subd to MU since release. Guess I'm gonna have to find all of my music on another service
