Sony's Free "Welcome Back" Game Downloads Go Live

[LightspeedJack]

I can't even get onto the store again. Back to square one I guess.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

I can't even get onto the store again. Back to square one I guess.

i'm just like you, i tried to get it, then it appeared with an error, same again, and then i couldn't get back to the store !

 

[SuperToaster]

Having only a psp (Yeah, shame on me, i know.).
I'll go for LBP. And maybe pursuit force.

 

[Sliverwings]

Uhhh... what are we supposed to do If we already have those games?

 

[Owlslayer]

Well i can imagine it not working perfectly if a big part of the users want their free games now. I don't know the exact numbers, but i think there are a lot of PSN users.

You just gotta keep trying. The amount of people trying to download the games is causing it to be a bit awkward. I kept getting the error message but I kept trying and now I'm downloading Wipeout HD.

 

[Kopikatsu]

I allready got LBP as an earlier promotion (PS+ 12-year sub) and with said sub i got Wipeout HD (minus the Fury pack)
so that leaves me 3 choices: Infamous (played almost through at a friends place) Dead Nation (My friend got it, almost completed aswell) and Ratchet and Clank: Quest for booty (EU)
Guess that's R&C + Infamous for me!

Also: I think it's worth noteing this months PSN+ stuff that everyone can get: (atleast for EU)
Burnout Paradice (For some reason it has a 'PSN' on the back of it's name)
Pain
Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planewalker (but atm there's an error with the full game upgrade apparently...)
a Dragon theme (kinda cool)
and a bunch of minor stuff that i won't go into detail about.
Point being: People shouldn't dismiss PS+ now that they've gotten the chance to check it out

Son of a...I've wanted Burnout Paradise, but it isn't available in the NA version. CURSES!

Awesome. I'll prolly download them in a bit when the traffic goes down a little to avoid any problems. I was hoping I could get some more free games with the Plus trial, though.

I'm getting Wipeout and Super Stardust since I'm not a big fan of shooters and I already have the other two. I also have LBP on PSP, so I'll get ModNation Racers, but I haven't decided between Pursuit Force or Killzone yet... What do you guys think?

Pursuit Force and Killzone are both shooting games, and you've already said you don't like shooting games...

I'd just say go with Pursuit Force. At least it has some driving to balance out the shooting for you.

This would be great if their password changing systems weren't still down. I emailed sony's tech support about it and they told me it was lagging due to traffic...

Yeah, okay. Guess it's time to research what free game I want. I'm guessing my 30 days of free shit is counting down during this. What a joke of a company Sony is.

If anyone knows how to change your password please let me know.

well first off mate quit bitching

second it starts counting down when you go into the store and download it

third when you go to get your computer repaired because the screen cracked or a virus hit it, do you complain when you don't get your computer back within 15 minutes?

 

[Blandy Buchanan]

Uhhh... what are we supposed to do If we already have those games?

Trade them in for free store credit and then download them again.

How dare I be indignant when discussing a company that has potentially exposed me to identity theft. As long as my thirty days of free shit doesn't start until I can actually access it it's cool, but I doubt that's true.

Also, my computer doesn't get hit by serious viruses and I don't hit my $250 monitor out of rage so this is a horrible analogy.

before I start a flame war I'll just say this; you seem like an asshole for a man with a Fluttershy avatar. Also if you want a better analogy replace "computer" with Car, "virus" with 16 year old girl on her phone and "monitor" with windshield.

by the way, try being CEO of a corporation one day, it isn't a walk in the park to put it lightly.

 

[Treaos Serrare]

Ive got Infamous and Little Big Planet in the queue to download as i work and probably through the night too, I wish they chose different PSP games since none look appealing at all

That's not an excuse for compromising the credit cards, personal information, etc of all of your customers because they didn't feel like having decent security. If being a CEO is too hard for Sony's CEO he should probably step down.

Finally, what? What does having an avatar of Fluttershy have to do with me being angry? I'd be just as angry if I got mugged while a police man stood and watched; would you reprimand me in that situation? Not sure how being angry at a company for disregarding my personal information makes me an asshole.

So I emailed Sony because I still can't change my password...

This is about how it went down:
"Dear sony, when will I be able to change my password? Is there another way since the page I got linked to via email is down for maintenance?"

Thank you for contacting Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA). We are happy to inform you the PlayStation®Network and PlayStation®Store services have been restored.
Our services went live late on the evening of June 1, 2011. Due to the high traffic on our servers, you may experience some delay and connectivity issues with the store. We hope you enjoy your upcoming weekend, and appreciate your extended patience during our service outage.

"But it says the password changing is down for maintenance. You didn't even attempt to answer my question."

NO LOL THERE'S HIGH TRAFFIC IN THE STORE SO YOU CAN'T ACCESS THE STORE

Their customer service won't even answer my questions. Damn right I'm pissed.

 

[Easton Dark]

I'm going to wait a day or two for the high traffic to die down even a little bit.

But then it's Dead Nation and LBP for me.

 

[Pig Mazurka]

... I would still MUCH rather have store credit, and there hasn't been a good reason given as to why they wouldn't do that.

 

[Adam28]

I would of thought they would allow PS3 system to download 2 free games rather than every account created before PSN went down.

Isn't that a little unfair on people who got PS3s after April hoping to go online but couldn't. No apology to them I guess.

 

[Thedayrecker]

Alright so Infamous is only gonna take.....

5 hours to download....

 

[No-Superman10]

I'm having some trouble, i went to download the pack and it started with 3 options (Free PS Plus, PS Plus Downloads and Free Stuff) When i got the free PS Plus the Free Stuff option has disappeared! Halp!
