Amazing PlayStation Plus update is, well, amazing.

Sony's just gone live on the PlayStation Blog confirming that the headline giveaway this week is the hotly rumoured port of The Simpsons Arcade Game. Just to clarify: you're getting that classic for free.

In addition, subscribers will also get a copy of Far Cry 2 as a special Valentine's Day present. That's in addition to free downloads of the aforementioned Hungry Giraffe, Final Fantasy V and the usual batch of themes and other goodies. There'll also be a discount on the upcoming House Of The Dead 3 when it arrives later in the month, and another opportunity to nab the full SEGA Mega Drive Collection gratis.

Phew. It's days like these that remind us why we absolutely adore PlayStation Plus.
