As we have all seen, streaming music services have been all the rage these days. While obvious choices like YouTube have been music to our ears for quite some time now, more legally sanctioned choices like Pandora and Spotify have really begun to gain some traction in recent years. Despite the fact that you may have to endure an ad every now and again, the fact is these services are free, and won't get you in trouble with any kind of authority. Not to mention their pretty complete music libraries in general are nothing to scoff at. That being said, Sony would like you to consider it's own service called Music Unlimited for a Limited time cheap price.

If you haven't yet heard of Music Unlimited, in quite a few ways it does quite a solid job of mirroring the staple features from the competition. Just like Spotify, you're able to build playlists, integrate them with your computer files, and most importantly, explore a large catalogue of streamable music that contains millions of songs. The real catch here has always been that all of this great stuff doesn't come cheap on Sony's end. Sure you won't have to deal with ads, but regularly you would have to pay £119.88/€119.88/1079.88 Kr/AU$143.88 for a yearly subscription. That's quite pricey considering what you can get elsewhere for  no cash at all, and this has lead many to dismiss the idea altogether.

That being said, should you live in the UAE, Australia, UK, Ireland, or New Zealand I have a pretty good deal for you. PlayStation Plus members will be able to score a full year of service for just £11.99/€11.99/107.99 Kr/AU$13.99. According to Sony that is essentially a year's worth of music for the price of an album. Not to shabby Still that's not all, even if you're not into the whole Plus thing you can still benefit from an overall yearly cost of £59.99/€59.99/539.99 Kr/AU$71.99. In a sense, we can all be happy while obeying the law. Could a new streaming force make its way into the competitive market?
