i think they're saying, "we don't really owe you anything... here's another chance to sample PS plus" to the regular members... i believe "streets of rage 2" is one of the free games this month too so, fuckin' A ... as for the paying PS+ users, they just want to give us a free month, which is a nice token of appreciation for actually paying for their service... i heard DC universe and other MMO games are reimbursing their members in some way as well...
but regular members don't need to be owed anything (sorry), especially if this whole credit hack does nothing... although, i often wonder what they should do about those that payed for online passes... hmm... but that has to do with game companies, not the network...

plus, a free game on the house?? it would be cool if we could choose from a selected list ...
