PlayStation gamers can grab a new freebie right now, no PlayStation Plus needed

The word on the street is that December is the season to be jolly and giving, which means there are plenty of bonus freebies to grab from various digital storefronts, if you know where to look.

PlayStation is really getting into the festive spirit with a ton of exciting new deals and bonuses exclusively for PlayStation Plus subscribers, plus a few little treats for those of us who have yet to commit to the online service.

Have you played Marvel's Spider-Man 2 yet? You should. Check it out below!

One of the latest bonuses PlayStation is offering doesn't actually require any kind of online subscription. Grabbing it is as easy as clicking a link and claiming the code, just... maybe don't get too excited by this one. It's not anything as substantial as a AAA game. Still, as my mum said the Christmas I opened my copy of The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess for Wii but had no Wii to play it on, it's the thought that counts.

Anyway, as of right now you can "get in the holiday spirit with a set of five avatars chosen from the PlayStation Plus games catalogue to use on your account for PlayStation Network." Like I said, not the most exciting, but not bad!

To claim this festive freebie all you need to do is head here and click the link to reveal your voucher code. From there simply head to PlayStation Store to redeem the code and claim your shiny free avatar. It couldn't possibly easier. Or maybe it could, but this is very much a case of get what you're given and be glad of it.

Don't forget that PlayStation Plus subscribers can also get their hands on a fresh batch of free games from today, including the excellent Sable, LEGO 2K Drive, and Powerwash Simulator. A cracking batch, I reckon.
