Sony's PSN Apology Includes Free Games

[Shadie777]

Well Sony, you really do know how to welcome back your customers, I'm impressed.
Wipeout HD and Quest for Booty for me!
Huzzah!

As for PSP, I already own two of those, so guess the two choices are obvious. For PS3, inFAMOUS and... uhh... I already have LBP, so what of the other 3 is good?

Let's see...

Dead Nation - obscure
inFAMOUS - crap older game that everyone already owns
LittleBigPlanet - older game that everyone already owns
Super Stardust HD - older game that everyone already owns
Wipeout HD + Fury - older game that everyone already owns

Good job Sony. How about you just stop slapping me in the face with these insulting offers and just give me my identity theft protection now? That's all I want anyway. You can keep the free games and PS+.

Yes, because you are everybody. LBP is the only one I own, and that is only because it came with my PS3.

 

[kortin]

Hmm. I guess I'll be getting Dead Nation and Wipeout HD. Super stardust sounds weird.

 

[Swifteye]

Hmm. I already own the physical version of little big planet for the psp. Hey! If I own a physical version of a game on this list I can just trade it in for some extra cash!

 

[drkchmst]

Only game on that list (for both ps3 and psp) I wanted was infamous but i just bought that last week when I saw it for 10 bucks. Oh well saved the bandwidth. Might get a memory card for killzone retribution but...i don't want to spend money for something free

 

[masticina]

Looks like they seriously mean it this time. Some real big games.. usually it is the left overs. The runts of the class that they can't peddle so here it is free. To make up a little thing.

But some bigger games.. nice.

 

[iblis666]

hmm would have preferred an rpg or a tactical rpg on that psp list after all those are the only things that the psp does well

Ugh
I have
Infamous (own permanently)
Wipeout HD (not Fury) (got from PS+)
Super Stardust (own permanently) (and not offering those expansions?)
AND
LBP (own permanently)

So I get..
Dead Nation, and Wipeout (a game I own for all intents and purposes), and an expansion pack

I was really hoping for something like $30-$40 psn store credit (to cover two $15 games and some movie rentals) or at least a larger selection. Guess they don't want to lose money, and this is a really nice selection...but still...
This is really nice for everyone who doesn't have those games, but I have most of them.
good for everyone else, but sadface for me
Guess I wait to get Rush n' attack on a sale
well, a bonus month of PS+ is nice, and I'm curious about the movie service.
Sony, at least you made an effort, and with around what, 70 million customers, you're putting a lot on the line (let's say around forty US dollars a person, just with games and rentals).
Sony, you do care!

yeah $30 in store credit would have been a better idea then i could have bought tactics ogre and been happy with the entire experience

My question is this. I have used PSN to buy games and stuff for my PSP. If I bought a PS3 now, would I be eligable to download the free PS3 games instead of the PSP games? If so.. I think I may just have to purchase a PS3

 

[babinro]

Woot! Great news for someone who could less about online gaming. Loved inFamous when I borrowed it from a friend and am interested in trying out LBP.

id think as long as you have an account you can download it within the next 30 days since to not do that could alienate new customers that they might want to keep

 

[goldendriger]

So i have a PS3 and a PSP, are those downloads both or is it either or? like 2 psp AND 2 ps3 or mix and match?

 

[meepop]

I already have inFAMOUS and LBP, but I'm gonna download them for free so I can trade in the hard copies towards inFAMOUS 2. Thanks Sony!

Those clever bastards. Sony really does wanna make up for it. To all those who don't like the game choice, or just anyone whose trust in Sony was lost: Stop your whining and complaining. Stop saying Sony doesn't care about you. If you think that getting two games on either/both of those systems for free is a bad thing, and that if you think the games are crap, or you already have them, then accept it.

I have inFamous and, like the guy I'm quoting, am probably gonna trade it in because the digital copy is better and one less disc. PSN isn't Steam. Once you download the games, they're yours. Plus, remember the free movie rentals and PS+! Free DLC, discounts on games, and free 60-minute trials. To quote Cave Johnson on exactly what Sony would say, "Matter of fact, you should be paying US."

Well, sucks for you. And now excuse me, while I'll enjoy LBP (I always planned to buy it, but it never came on the top of the primary list) and... Wipeout probably, because I have InFamous already and I haven't heard of any other titles on this list.

Thank you Sony. That few weeks without Mortal Kombat Online (well... Still not, I cannot activat my Kombat Pass due to PSN store being down) was well worth it. God speed.

 

[Phoenix_XIII]

I'm probably gonna get inFamous and Dead Nation.

 

[deserteagleeye]

I couldn't escape the PS3 even if I tried. I guess I'm just a real fanboy huh? Anyways, LBP and Infamous are mine.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

I was kinda hoping for the original Uncharted to be on that list, but I'm not going to turn my nose up at Little Big Planet and inFamous, since I didn't buy either of them.

 

[goldendriger]

damn that free list sucks balls. theyre just giving out games that are old and like 20 bucks at gamestop. they should at least give back users peace of mind

Awesome get 2, you just saved $40. Sony just saved you money and are dishing out free entertainment. Least they're trying to make ammends

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

inFamous and Wipeout for me. I hate LBP because of it's Z axis.

For PSP, I'll take Killzone and Mod.
