Finally you can redeem your consolation prizes for being a victim of Sony’s security gaffes. You get 2 games out of a list of 5, our details on that are still here. Also, you get 30 days of Playstation Plus. What does that do for you? It allows you to enable automatic downloads of patches to games and firmware, gets you discounts on certain titles on the PS Store, access to some demos and trials not available to regular users, and even entitles you to some free games that you only keep as long as you’re a Plus member. The free 30 days has no strings attached, doesn’t auto-renew and won’t automagically bill you next month. Current Playstation Plus benefits are here.
Lastly, this weekend, PSN has some complimentary movie titles available for rent. They don’t list out what movies are available, but it is safe to expect stuff from Sony pictures. All they tell us is “A selection of “On Us” movie rentals are currently available to PlayStation Network customers this weekend only, where Video Service is available.” So if you’re in the mood for a movie this weekend, log in and see what’s on the house.
