PS Plus members get Stacking for free

UPDATE: Offer applies in Europe too.

UPDATE: The European PlayStation Blog has confirmed the offer will be available on these shores. A post on its Twitter feed reads, "Not sure if you know this yet, but I'm hearing the PS Plus members can download Stacking, the new game from Double Fine, for free next week."

ORIGINAL STORY:Sony has lined up a nice treat for its US PlayStation Plus members – a free download of Double Fine's delicious-looking Stacking.

News of the freebie came via the US PlayStation Blog. There's no mention of the offer on its European counterpart at present, so until you hear otherwise assume this deal is only good in the The Land of the Free. We're looking into it and will update if Sony tells us otherwise.

Should you reside in the US though, you can claim your free game on the day of release - 8th February.

Stacking arrives on these shores a day later, for both PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, priced £11.99 / 1200 MS Points.
