It’s being heavily commented, but this month’s transition to September PS+ content in the PAL countries is a bit of a shambles.
I myself have experienced the missing content.
At the moment, what you have to do is to find each individual game in the store and download it from there.
For Sam & Max, you have to get the trial from the demo’s section for Episode 1 and Episode 5 from the ‘latest’ section as well as all the episodes 2-4 and the unlock from the game’s own section.
Hopefully they get this sorted soon and remove the need for this workaround.

I would like to apologise in advance for recording the events of last night which our friends may not want in the public arena, but it has to be recorded for posterity and to be read with mirth in twenty years time.
Last night we had our homegroup over for dinner and ‘hanging out’ (that seems like something teenagers do, not parents with kids…).
These days there are quite a few kids at these sorts of things and so there were three kids in Liv’s bedroom, all under two. Needless to say, Liv was thrilled (as was Thomas, one of her friends).
Liv’s Parents (us): “Yeah, they were having a party in there.”
Thomas’s Parents: “Yeah, Thomas even took his pants off.”
SILENCE
All: Lols…
And just a word for Thomas, don’t expect me to be laughing in twenty years time.

I’m pretty stoked about the full game downloads. I was intrigued by Sam & Max when I last played it back in 2006 and an entire season seems like excellent value. It also suits my ultra-casual gaming habit. I also happen to love tower defense games and this one reviewed well.
PS+ continues to not be for everyone, but having sunk my money in, I’m still glad I did.
