Since reading that Stacking will be free to Playstation Plus members, I have become very interested in getting the service. I was thinking about buying the game anyway, and unless this game's reviews are negative, I think I will get PS+. My question is, do I have to subscribe to PS+ within the same month as this game is offered? Do I have to subscribe before Stacking comes out to get it free? Or do I get every game that was ever free for the PS+ service, like Wipeout HD and Sam and Max: The Devils Playhouse? Thanks in advance for any info.

PlayStation Plus is a premium PlayStation Network subscription service.
Quick question about Playstation Plus and their free content.
From what I've heard the games are only free for limited amount of time. You can subscribe at anytime and get whatever free content there is at that moment. For instance I believe that Wipeout HD is no longer free for PS+ subscribers. But as long as you have it downloaded and are still subscribed you can keep it as long as you want.
As far as I understand if you subscribe anytime during the window when stacking if free to members you will get it. However, one that time is up you won't be able to get it. If they allowed that then I could sign up for Playstation Plus now and get a huge array of games for free.
I've heard no confirmation of that and I can't really check since I don't know anyone who has Playstation Plus. The way they worded the press release was real confusing.
" Stacking was a special case. I believe it was only free to PlayStation Plus subscribers during the day of its release. "Nah I am on the Australian PSN store now and it is still there for free to PS+ users. From what it says there it's free to PS+ members until the 1st of March.
So I ended up paying for PS+, and it seems that what everyone says in the thread seems to be the case, EXCEPT for the Stacking comment. You can get Stacking free for as long as they offer it for free, and I checked PSN today, it's still being offered free for PS+ members." @rjayb89 said:

If you sign up you get access to the stuff under the PS+ section. Once new stuff pops in and old stuff is removed, you can only access the old stuff from your download list if you downloaded it when it was available. So if there's a free game that you're currently not interested in, at least download it and cancel it immediately so you can access it months later, should you feel like it.
" @Snapstacle said:I've read about that. As someone who bought a year's subscription I haven't been able to look into this." It's more of a rental like GameTap or something. "No, I could still download, install and play the PS+ stuff on my download list after my subscription wore off. "
