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

[honestdiscussioner]

Fuck, the download failed and I was kicked off the store, when I go back on the option to get the games is gone. HELP ME, OH GOD HELP

Tom Goldman amended the article to include that error and its solution, but here it is, from the blog:

Make sure to complete the download of each title all the way otherwise you?ll have to go into account management>transaction management>services list>SCEA Promotions to download the games.
Hope that helps.

I would do that, but the original download is stuck on the hard drive. It doesn't appear anywhere, but I now don't have enough space to redownload it. I can't find anything on that!

Not sure but I think an error caused PSN to think I already picked my first game when I didn't so now I'm left with only one.

If you already downloaded your free game 'activation', try going here to redeem it:
Make sure to complete the download of each title all the way otherwise you?ll have to go into account management>transaction management>services list>SCEA Promotions to download the games.
Hope that helps.

Did that, everything fine now

Save for these constant errors of course due to over traffic :X

Only if you purchase free games through PS+, the 2 of 5 free games you purchase through the Welcome Back offer(inFAMOUS,LBP,etc) are yours to keep forever

This would be so awesome IF I WASN'T GETTING ERRORS EVERY TIME I GO INTO THE STORE. Seriously? Did they really not anticipate all the traffic? Morons.

So a question about PSN+. I'm planning on backing up my data there while I switch hard drives. Is that possible even if I have a free month? I would redownload it into my new HD anyway. Or is everything wiped out my HD after the month...somehow?

I'm aware it would all be gone after the month, but just wondering.

Anybody can explain where/how to download the games in dutch?

Thanks anyway.

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 !

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.

YOU'RE absolutely Right i'm downloading Both Infamous and Wipeout Demo+ Addon +"unlocker" so to speak...

As a word of warning, the PlayStation Store appears to be experiencing errors as of this writing. I personally downloaded the tokens, it didn't let me download the games, and then the tokens were gone. However, customer support reveals that anyone this happens to should go to the XMB --> Account Management --> Transaction Management --> Service List --> SCEA Promotions (or your associated region). Then choose the token and download the content.

Thanks Tom, this worked for me. This info really helped. Much appreciated.
