Just a quick warning...If you plan on downloading it all, have a big or empty hard-drive installed. Currently downloading all but what I already have (inFamous 2, Chime, LittleBigPlanet 2) and it came to 30GB+ in all, so be prepared for an annoyed ISP and a rather bloated feeling hard-drive...and that's just the first month ;)

I'm lucky, I have the big hard-drive installed - currently at 315/596 GB remaining, but if I'm installing 10s of GBs every month it's going to start going down (especially with retail game installs on top of that)

EDIT: For those who are interested:

Warhammer: 5224MB
Darksiders: "10GB"
Oddworld Strangers Wrath: 3248MB
Outland: 1195MB
Renegade Ops: 2592 MB
Motorstorm Apocalypse: 6791MB
Virtua Fighter 5: 1955MB

You can add a mere 15GB for Infamous 2 to that list. So far I've managed to get one downloaded and installed. I'm not sure I'll have the lot done by the time next month's content is available.

My 320GB hard drive is now down to 15GB left after installing all those and even after un-installing a few other full games from previous PS+ months.

Still, lots to play through so no complaints and then more next month around my Birthday too.

Did a weekend download marathon session and everything is downloaded and installed. Only managed a brief shot of Virtua Fighter and Little Big Planet 2 so far.

Still not had time to actually play any of the games as I was at the cinema last night.

But I'd still recommend PS+ to anyone on the fence about it at the moment. It's a very good deal with 45 big games available over the year.

I really hope they still give us a few Minis/PS1/PS2 games though.

As much as I'd love to do the PS Plus stuff, I just can't afford it. Does the PS3 allow external drive storage because I think I have a 40GB drive and that wouldn't last very long?

Easier to replace the internal drive. Sony have made it dead easy to do and it doesn't invalidate any warranty. Any standard 2.5" Laptop drive will fit up to 1TB (or more, but there are size issues). Drives can be pretty cheap for 320GB ones too.
