Alright, but were those free for silver members too? The only one I have of that list is Undertow, wasn't that because of some XBL outage a couple years back?

I don't think all of those were free for Silver members. Which ones? No idea, I've always have had a Gold account. However, I think you're right about Undertow being a freebie for the Live outage during Christmas. But again, the reason I brought that up was somebody disputed that Microsoft doesn't give away free games. They have and every one of them can still be played even if you don't pay for Live Gold.

I noticed you were asking about Move compatibility in several threads.
Here's a GAF thread tracking Move games:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=398419
It only lists 2010 games. So games like KZ3 are not listed.
EDIT:
2011 list:

I meant things like selling games, mini-games, DLC, etc. through Steam rather than PSN.
I'm sure Sony would love to have online gaming go through Steam's server rather than theirs, that would be less recurring costs and less infrastructure needed. Likewise if they could get demos and patches hosted through Steam's servers rather than their own.
What would be interesting is if Steam implemented cross game chat at some point and then made it work on PSN also.
But all this is premature speculation as I have seen anything concrete on just how much of Steam will make it to PSN.

If these are PS3 games, then Sony will earn from the royalties.
If these are PC games, then Sony can earn a referer/affiliate fee (if negotiated)
EDIT:
According to the video interview, there are more details to be released. Sony sees Steamworks as a complementary service.
Year 2010 should list Under Siege PSN game as well, so list may not be a complete.
For PSN+ specific content, it's probably safer to assume they will generally disappear with the end of subscription unless stated otherwise (or unless you buy 'em).
OTOH, it is not inconceivable to have free (really free) items for PSN+ members only. It's cheaper than giving the entire PSN population free goods.
Yes, confirmed by Sony:
The free games each month are usable whilst your account is active - if you stop subbing and then re-sub the content is still usable.
Any other freebies (and discounted purchases) are free forever (inc. LBP for EU (instead of 3 extra months) on the 1 year sub).
All content is usable by all account holders.
You can use PSN cards to pay for PSN+ (so you can make a bit of a saving that way)
Has LOTR: Aragon's Quest been announced for Kinect? I find this an intersting title as WB were differentiating their content, with the 'kiddie' LOTR games on Wii and their gory mature games on PS360. Now as Move is directly compatible with Wii interfaces, a port of Wii titles, which should be dead easy if you preserve the same simple content, ports of Wii titles look like easy cash-ins, with the end result PS3 offers both the kiddie and mature experiences. That seems quite significant as a family gaming box.
It's definitely not. We learnt about Dead Space 2 having Dead Space: Extraction included as a bonus with Move support for instance.
Yes, that's what I thought too, particularly when we learnt that the SDK for Motion+ support, done not by Nintendo but a third party (AILive 2.0 or something), would be available for Move on the PS3 in pretty much identical form.
Further evidence that this same idea lives in the mind of publishers is a question in an earlier interview on this subject being answered with "we're not going to allow direct ports of Wii games - we strongly encourage publishers to add support for the additional features available on the PS3 platform, like additional content, support for the camera, trophies, etc." I think it's basically an extension of their current policy, that if you don't release a multi-platform title day-and-date on the PS3 with the other platforms, you need to add extra content.
I agree, I just posted something quite similar in the Nintendo conf thread. If you own both Wii and PS3 (like I do), the value of the Wii going forward just plummeted. Any 3rd party game that makes good use of the Wii is immediately a candidate for a PS3 port now. With the Virtual Console as dry and dusty as it is, I'm now back to 1st party games justifying the system alone. Not to troll, but the you-know-which thought did cross my mind briefly.
In the opposite direction, the 3DS, thanks to its analog nub and ballin' new graphics capabilites is bound to absorb a lot of PSP cake.
3DS is the first Nintendo handheld or console to pique my interest since Game'N'Watch!
You missed out on a lot of great games. And on a whole bunch of crap, too
Didn't Nintendo make those? Or at least the originals? So you've come full circle from games in watches to games in handhelds, it only took you about 20 to 25 years or so!
Yes, though the chances of me actually getting a 3DS are extremely slim, whereas I had a few GnW, including the original DS clamshells.
One thing that's quite useful is sources for all these conferences
Gamespot offers most of them: Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, EA, Ubisoft for streaming and download -- they're picking up the mantle dropped, stepped on and kicked away by Gametrailers.

E3 2010: John Daly's ProStroke Golf PS Move Preview:
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1100750p1.html
Simple but good use of the light ball since golfers often look down their club (at the golf ball) and then at the Green.
3 month to launch is short. These first wave of Move development must be very hectic now.

Yeah, nunchuck should be possible, and could be interesting - you could do it without worrying about accidentally smashing your own face in. But the full Bruce Lee experience would be a bit tricky, unless you strap two more Move controllers to your feet. (Honestly I wouldn't even mind if it came to that) However, the problem is of course that there's a limit to what kind of thing you can be expected to do in a game - you can't keep doing real flying kicks for instance (or even one, for most people). I see more in an advanced version of something like Tekken, but then one with (slightly) more believable physics, realistic damage, and where you have a lot more control over your actions.
