Answering blog commenter psychobudgie’s query about Stacking appearing on the official PlayStation Plus site as free content for February, SCEE’s James Thorpe has responded, apparently confirming that Double Fine’s Russian doll inspired game is coming for Plus subscribers. He states:
Hi, yes, stacking is coming to Plus on the 9th of Feb.
Curiously, the list of content on the post in question has not been updated to reflect this addition, and we’re assuming “coming to Plus” means “free for Plusites” and not “discounted for Yellow Crossers.” After all, as the crazy parakeet mentions, it is in the free section. We’ll update this article if and when we find out more.

Amazing, but got to be honest. Would be very surprised if it was free, expecting an update correcting this soon sadly. If I’m wrong – yaldi!

I have a sneaky suspicion that it’s a typo and they meant “Shatter” as that’s added again due to the trial issues. Shatter, Stacking, they may have got confused.
kjkg
Sounds about right. Strange business model if it was free though!

Shatter is already listed so why would they list it twice? It clearly stated Shatter and Stacking on the blog.

Wow.
I have to say that Plus has been the most epic purchase I have ever made for Playstation. Delighted with it.

This is good news – just when I was a little disgruntled at this months content too. It’s the first month where I felt I couldn’t help but feel a little dissapointed with the content. This just made it awesome again xD

Please forgive my ignorance, but ive never heard anything of this game, can someone enlighten me? thanks :)
Kovacs
There is a “related stories” section (above) on every TSA article. You should find everything you need to know there. If you click on the “more” tag you’ll see we have four Stacking related stories, including its announcement.
Good luck!
:)
Moakesice
Cheerz, forgive me
Kovacs
No need to be forgiven. Just pointing you in the right direction.

YES! I thought this game looka awesome, so I really hope this is free for plussers.

I got a game worth £11.99 for free last night, whether its good or not – it was £11.99!
PSPlus is a no brainer – simples!

If it’s crap and you don’t play it doesn’t matter if its price to non subscribers is £11.99 or £11,1111.99 surely?
Foxhound_Solid
The price is just an example really. If you didnt have PS+ and wanted this game……
The amount of awesomeness I have due to my PS+ is a joke. I mean it was worth it to get into the KZ3 beta early!
Trust, its worth it!
Klart
To be honest, I think it will just be that Plussers can purchase it early.
Free would be fantastic though.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to get this, but now it’s free there’s no excuse.

I don’t think it’s a typo, it’s listed on the content list on http://playstationplus.com
anonymus212
Surely anyway it would be illegal to advertise (and James confirm in comments)
that we will get a game free and not get it
TheDeathAvenger
Why would that be illegal?
Kovacs
There’s a difference between false advertising and erroneous advertising.
*IF* this doesn’t happen I’m sure it will be explained as a typo.
Klart
Euh, Plus has done A LOT of that already (monthly DLC was promised). The legality of it is questionable. Still very happy with Plus.
anonymus212
Agree claret, but, happy with + nonetheless
anonymus212
Sorry, Klart, iPod is always correcting errors

Just looked up a trailer and now I see what all the fuss is all about. Bout time we got some decent goodies.
