Music can be played using Internet-connected devices including PCs and current Sony network-enabled TVs, Blu-ray players, PlayStation 3 consoles.
Basic subscriptions cost $4.99 per month, while "premium" subscriptions cost $12.99. The former acts as an "infinite ad-free radio station" that lets you choose the artist or genre to listen to, while the latter offers access to "premium" channels and the ability to play individual songs on demand.
The "Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity" site displayed a message stating "Sorry, this service is not available in your country/region", as of 9.45am EDT today.

I'm using it right now - theres a free 30 day trial if you go with the 12.99 option - its not well marked but it is free.
So far my overall thoughts are its good. THough it is missing some more obscure bands.
