Hope perhaps another PS+ member can help with these Q's, I don't really want to join the "official" forums if I can help it:

1. Is it the case that, if your PS+ membership lapses (I top up with PSN cards) the games you got for free are unlocked again once you buy new membership? If that is the case do they stay on your drive or do you have to reinstall or even re-download?

2. More of a related question, why do games I get from the Playstation Store now download an installer only, whereas they used to download then auto-install, and why does the installer not self-delete once the game is installed? Is there any advantage in keeping the installers, and could this tie in somehow with my first question? Would prefer to delete them to save on drive space.

Any help appreciated, thanks! Am in the EU (UK) though I think these questions are universal.
 
If your PS+ membership expires the games are still on your HDD but you just can't play them. When (if) you renew you can go ahead and start playing again, they don't delete themselves so no need to re-download.

I can't answer your question about the install "bubble" not self deleting. Mine was doing that for a while, but the last few things I've downloaded have self deleted the installer. There is no advantage to keeping the installer, unless you delete the game from your HDD, I suppose you could just install it again without having to download it...

Thanks, that helps a lot. Those "bubbles" were starting to annoy me as i've got quite a few games lately, what with the PS+ freebies and the recent EU Minis pick n mix, so gonna "pop" them now =)

Off topic but trying to figure who the dude is in your avatar pic, Dennis Wilson?
