Music fans are in for a treat; starting today for a limited time, eligible PlayStation 3 owners* can try out a free 180-day Basic subscription of Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity.
The timing couldn’t be better – the service’s Android App also launched today, so users can enjoy music on the go with their compatible Android mobile device or on a number of other Internet-connected Sony devices including 2010 and 2011 models of network-enabled BRAVIA HDTVs, Blu-ray Disc players and Blu-ray Disc Home Theater systems as well as the PSP and personal computers including VAIO personal computers.
The cloud-based, digital music service gives music lovers streaming, commercial-free access at anytime and anywhere to an ever expanding catalogue of currently over seven million licensed tracks from major labels including Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and EMI Music as well as leading independent labels and major publishers worldwide.
The Android App is compatible with Sony Ericsson’s Android-based mobile devices including Xperia arc, Xperia PLAY, Xperia X10, Xperia X8, Xperia neo, as well as Android-based third party devices. You can download the App now from the Android Market.
To access the 180 day Basic Service free trial, log on to your PlayStation 3 system and click on the Music Unlimited service below the Music icon. Once the application has downloaded, follow the sign up instructions.
*180 day free trial available if:
- You are 18 or over
- You own a Playstation 3 system
- You do not currently hold or have not previously held a Music Unlimited subscription to the premium or basic plan
- You are in a supported country/region (US)
- Note: you will not be able to take advantage of the 180-day Subscription Free Trial on PS3 if you purchase other subscriptions.
Nice. Was hoping to try this out and its perfect timing!
and Canada gets excluded once again….
Okay.. Google or Sony.. who’s going to have their cloud service available in Canada first?
GO!
….Apple? Dammit!
Excellent! I’ve been waiting for an Android version to give the service a shot.
Now maybe an app for iOS and Windows Phone. iOS has Napster, Rhapsody, MOG and Rdio, don’t think it is much trouble to add Qriocity to the list. :-)
WooHooo!!!
THank you for not excluding the rest of us android users. I would have gotten an Xperia Play, but I just felt the Ericcson brand still had yet to prove to me it could work as advertised. I felt the Xperia Play was a big under powered for my needs.
Finally! Hoping to do this soon! Lol. Still thinking about it, but please bring this to the TV’s also! Thanks. Love the service!
Thanks for the heads up, this post clarified the fact that Qriocity has no intention of coming to iOS and therefore will not be use by myself. I liked the service, even subscribed to “Premium” before the network outage, but support for only Android devices makes it not worth the premium $10 fee a month to me.
Can someone tell me if the streams are accessible while playing games.. OR is this something that can/will be added in the future. That would pretty much make me sign up now..
Thanks!!
nice – I’ve been rocking Qriocity for a while and love it so now on Android? killer.
Will this also work on a tablet?
Well, that sucks. If you had a 30 day free trial before (even if it was interrupted by the PSN outage) you can not take advantage of the 180 day trial. Lame.
But I guess for people who haven’t given it a try yet it’s a good thing. Nice getting it on the Droid too.
WHy are all good services not in Canada :( and Sony when is the ps3 going to get a REAL update firmware with features?
This is great. Just in time for the summer!
Seeing the Twitter message about this, I got excited that there was a PLAYSTATION Android App launching today… :(
[whiny_child_voice] Europe has one, why can’t WE have one?! [/whiny_child_voice]
Quick clarification; I just hopped on the Android market and am not seeing anything come up searching either Qriocity or Music Unlimited; is the app supposed to be there already? Eager to try this bad boy out
Still waiting on the PSN app for the iPhone that is out in Europe… so I suppose an iPhone app for this will take just as long, as in *crickets*?
At 16 the app is on the market , i’ve donwloaded it already , when is playstation suite coming to android?
Now that my Xperia finally updated, I can do this….

Trying to get the 180 day trial on my PS3 and I get a message saying “A connection to the server could not be established.” and then tells me to close the software.
If you’re still having issues with the 180 day subscription offer, try going into Account Settings and uncheck the box next to “Require password for each purchase”
