We have again tried to give you the most complete list possible for January but sometimes we will have to make slight changes. We will let you know if there are any changes and what the full game trials are ASAP.

Now, let's talk treats! In December we have managed to get you more than the average in terms of extra little bonuses to hopefully bring you a little festive cheer. I'll be on here a few times during the month to let you know what's coming your way.

Now onto the subject of DLC within the Plus schedule. Firstly I just want to apologise if I caused confusion over this issue, that was never my intention.

Here is the current situation within Plus Premium game elements, mentioned in the T's&C's (Terms and Conditions) are not referring to DLC. The Private Members Club in PlayStation Home is an example of a premium game element and we are working with developers to try and get you other premium elements in certain games. When we are able to provide these, they will expire if your Plus subscription expires (as stated in the terms of service).

Add-ons are separate to premium game elements. In the original blog-post, I was using the phrase "Add-ons" to refer to extra content, including DLC. Currently, add-ons do not expire when the subscription expires

Premium game elements and add-ons 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.

I hope that clears up any confusion around DLC but I also want to let you know that we are working hard to make sure we bring you the Premium game elements and add-ons as often as we can.
