Today, PlayStation Plus comes of age. Free to subscribers are Tim Schafer's potentially fantastic downloadable Russian doll game Stacking (usually £9), and a Killzone 3 single-player demo.

Eurogamer's Stacking review is in the works, by the way. It'll be with you by tomorrow lunch time. Stacking offers a free trial, incidentally.

For everybody else, the PlayStation Store cupboards are heaving with content.

DC Universe 90-day subs are discounted as the game approaches its scary 'will people pay to play or won't they' second month, and a horde of PlayStation minis have been reduced to a quid.

PopCap's brilliant Plants vs. Zombies arrives today with a free trial, and Explodemon! finally bursts onto the PlayStation Store.

There are demos for recommended racing rental Nail'd and Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll, a PS3-exclusive made by the Dynasty Warriors team.

Stacking.
