PS Plus multiplayer free this weekend

PlayStation Plus may in some ways be best known as a way to get free games every month but the service is also about a good deal more than that.

For your subscription you get extra storage for your saved games (always welcome) and, perhaps most crucially, access to multiplayer. That's right, you can't play online modes with friends unless you're stumping up cash for PS Plus.

That's usually true except for this weekend when PS Plus is opening its doors to all. If you've been dying to give that multiplayer mode a go and just couldn't afford to sign up to PS Plus, nows' the time.
