The PlayStation Plus team have updated the Blog with the final list of content in today’s (December’s) Plus update, as well as revealing the preliminary list for January.
There was also a note on the exclusion of a free piece of DLC from the latest content pushes:
Premium game elements, add-ons and DLC are not part of the core monthly content, I apologies again if my post during the launch of Plus was incorrect, I’m afraid this was just an honest mistake during the hectic launch period of Plus.

Pretty crap to be honest.
January is full of PSP stuff which i have no interest in.
Vaile23
just like PS+ tbf.. promised something that sounded amazing which turned out to be utter crap.
djhsecondnature
Speak for yourself. I’ve downloaded over £70s worth of content. It’s been anything but crap for me!
Vaile23
but how much has actually been “decent”, as a opposed to minis and bog standard psn games?
djhsecondnature
Well I would class Minis and standard PSN games as decent, especially, you know, the decent ones.
Carl
Oh i don’t think PS+ as a whole is crap at all. I just think January looks crap
djhsecondnature
I gathered that, my repsonse was to Valie23.
Carl
I was agreeing with you :)

Thought it was Assassins Creed Brotherhood as the free game trial?

Cuboid is my favourite PSN game ever, so good for all the people who don’t already have it!
Still think PS+ is completely rubbish though!
E8_BALL_
me too
but just assassins creed the prototype (chucklesto 1self)
Bilbo_bobbins
well, pretty rubbish to be honest. Still haven’t signed up and wont until i see a good reason too. So far only KZ3 beta I have missed….but thats not enough for me to sign up.

I’m tempted this time, stuff is finally showing up that I don’t own, and a few games like costume quest and dead nation that I would like. If I bought it today, when it is still showing last months stuff, could I sneak in a few extra discounts from last month?
jikomanzoku
by my understanding so long as you’re quick about it and make the purchases (not neccessarily the downloads) prior to update, then yeah, you should be able to do that
Kevling
Colony Wars? Result!

“Premium game elements, add-ons and DLC are not part of the core monthly content”
Looks that way from the list, too. Wow.

Man some people just can’t get enough of bashing a service they don’t like can they? If you don’t want to subscribe then fine, but the service is obviously good as so many of us use it.

I know, I’ve been nothing but happy with my monthly update so far, sometimes it will have less as I’d already bought the content and sometimes it will have more and I will discover a gem I missed previously like Braid.
People really do moan a lot.
stueeeee
I’ve been so tempted to get Braid for a while, but I’m holding off in the hope it may be on PS+ at some point….

I’m really disappointed in Plus, not much return for my money. I bought it for the Killzone beta, which I can’t play because it objects to my PSN name. PSN help folk have not helped. Stick to the free stuff boys and girls, the premium service is pants.
shields_t
So you’ve had it for what? four weeks?
skibadee
well worth it imo.
ElGuason
i agree

Since the release of the Sam and Max episodes not much else is grabbing me. I really hope they start adding some services as the background download option is quite useful. Still hoping for all that stuff everyone on about like x game chat and online game saves especially the online game saves for protected content like GT5 etc as if I get a YLOD it will do my nut to loose all my stuff.
