It should also be noted that this event does not give everyone the other benefits of being a PS+ member, for example only members will be able to download the free PS+ games for the month.
The free weekend of online connectivity will begin starting December 11 at 12:01Am PST/3:01AM EST and will conclude at 11:59PM PST/2:59AM EST on the Sunday night/Monday morning.
