PSN Update -- 'Playstatiion Plus' Edition

So the fabled 'pay service' portion of the PSN has arrived with the latest system update. As a result, this week's PSN offerings are filled with little treats for the new subscribers.

There's a free Wipeout HD, a free inFAMOUS trial game, some sale items, and more-

It's actually kind of cool, I don't think there's enough of a reason for me to sign up for the plan, but there just might be for you- like, say, if you download lots of stuff. It might pay for itself... or it might not. I just don't know- you'll have to figure that one out.
