[Update: 5pm] A Sony Online Entertainment representative has confirmed to Shacknews that the promotional price offer for three-months of DCUO service will be available for users on both the PS3 and PC. The promotional price ends on March 1; however, those who select it will continue to be billed $30 as long as they are a subscriber.

[Original Post] Fighting crime and creating chaos throughout the streets of DC's most famous cities is getting slightly cheaper, according to the game's senior producer.

Wes Yanagi at developer SOE Austin announced on the PlayStation Blog, a new subscription offer will launch on February 8 for DC Universe Online, giving heroes and villains three-months of service for $29.99. According to the announcement, players will be able to "keep that rate for as long as you are actively subscribed." Three months of service is currently priced at $41.99.

It's unclear if the new rate will also be available on PC and whether or not it includes regions outside of North America. Shacknews has contacted Sony Online Entertainment for details; however, no response was offered at the time of publishing.

In our extended coverage of DC Universe Online, I discussed my experience with the PS3 and PC MMORPG. Though the game has technical issues, it's a fun adventure for fans of the DC license.
