PlayStation Plus celebrates birthday with content, competitions, cake

Even subscription-based digital distribution platforms get birthday cakes these days.

But that's not all. To celebrate its first anniversary, EU PlayStation Plus is also getting a load of special content, membership extensions and a competition, which it is passing on to you.

If you sign up for a 12 month Plus subscription before August 3 you can choose between an extra 3 months for free or Sega Rally Online Arcade for free to keep forever.

Already a subscriber? No worries. You can take advantage of the deal by renewing now before your current subscription expires.

If you want it all, the free game and 15 months for the price of 12 , you can sign up to both 12 month subscription offers but you must purchase the 15 for 12 subscription first, and then purchase the Sega Rally subscription.

If you are a Welcome Back Free Plus user then you will need to wait until your free membership finishes before you purchase a Plus membership. Don't worry, if you renew to a paying membership, you'll also keep the content you got during your free trial.

Where are you going? There's more: You'll also be entered into a competition just for being a Plus member.
Here are the prizes:

1st Prize - Sony Entertainment package, including 46″ 3D Bravia TV, extra 3D glasses, a PS3 320GB, a PSPgo, PlayStation Move starter pack with extra controller and navigation controllers, a selection of 10 PS3 games, PlayTV and a 5 year PlayStation Plus membership.
