Update: Both
PS3 Firmware 3.40 and Sony's
PlayStation Plus subscription service are now available for those interested!
You can purchase a three-month package or a one-year package on the PlayStation Store now. The three-month package is available for $17.99 and the one-year package is available for $49.99. Sony will also be offering three additional bonus months for free if you purchase the one-year package -- that's 15 months total for $49.99.
Previously we
reported that PS3 Firmware 3.40 was slated to be released on June 22 as confirmed via Sony
Press Release, however, Sony has since
updated the release to now state it will arrive next week on June 29 to coincide with the launch of
PlayStation Plus.
Additionally, PlayStationLifestyle.net (linked above) spotted one other caveat for those planning on subscribing to PlayStation Plus- it's a requirement to download and install PS3 Firmware 3.40 prior to purchasing PlayStation Plus.
To quote from a footnote on Sony's updated Press Release: "*1 PlayStation users can purchase PlayStation Plus membership through PlayStation Store on PS3 only.
Users need to install PS3 system software version 3.40, which will be released on June 29th, to enjoy PlayStation Plus."

How can you have OtherOS and Playstation Plus? If its not optional then $ony should man up and say its compulsory not optional.
I bet they are going to watch how many people get PS+ and eventually drop the free part. It will eventually turn in to a paid service if everyone gets PS+.
$ony are just compulsive lairs.
