Sony's PSN Apology Includes Free Games

[Lt. Dragunov]

Well well well sony you surprised me, triple A titles? And here i thought you were gonna have a bunch of games that no one would want to play. Well i was wrong, now if you would bring up the ps store you can seal the deal.

Already have inFamous and LBP, maybe I'll snag Wipeout for shits and giggles though.

 

[Reaper195]

inFamopus and Wipeout are my choices. Others I already have, or do not want.

Was reading the PSBlog thing and for a moment, I was afraid that it was for the US and Canada only. That would have angered the living christ out of me. Then I saw there were things also for Europe, which includes NZ (YAY!).

 

[Xman490]

Now, that's nice. I think that once I have a home without a console (no Wii or 360) I'll get a PlayStation console (or PSP2).

 

[FFHAuthor]

How about you just give me the Black Ops Escalation Map pack and Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam instead? I'd appreciate that, the only game of that list that I'm interested in in InFAMOUS, and thats a 'meh' kind of interest.

 

[theloneassassin]

Yes, and what about the people who brought PSN plus already? I hope we get the free one month plus another month to make up for what we lost. Also the games on here are nothing to brag about. Most of then are old titles that have been out for a long time. I think they should give the people who actually had credit cards on there more of a bonus then those who did not. That's just me and it seems fair but hey life is never fair.

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

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

According to the europe blog, you had to have had an account from at least the 20th April 2011 (which I'm assuming is before the downtime happened). It makes sense to me: no reason to give away free stuff to someone who wasn't affected by the problem.

The people who already have PSN Plus get it for sixty days according to the europe blog. I assume it will be the same everywhere.

LittleBigPlanet and Wipeout HD + Fury, hell yea!

May seems to be a good month for me!

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

This isn't too bad. They could do a little more, of course, but this is good. They're not exactly the latest greatest, but there are good titles on this list. And at least you get to choose.

Anyone remember when Xbox Live was down for like three days around Christmastime one year? They gave us Undertow (an XBLA game). I'd say Sony managed to top that, although this is a much bigger deal and definitely warrants something bigger. I'd say if you did the math though, Sony is being a bit more generous.

They are giving away games they had a major hand in making. They are honestly not losing that much, who would be buying those games at this point in time anyway?

 

[Mariakitten]

Sony, I forgive you. This is a really cool thing to do.

 

[NinjaTigerXIII]

Little Big Planet and Wipeout for me. WOOT!

 

[Death-of-Penguins]

Wow. That is.. extremely good timing. After my exams have finished I'm getting a PS3, and the two games that have made me want to get one are going out for free.
Fuck yeah.
(Just hoping the offer'll still be on when I get my PS3..)

Sorry mate, unless you already had a PSN account on 20th April, you can't get them.

OT; Cool. I wasn't going to leave anyway, but I've got a PS3, and a PSP, so four free games and a bunch of goodies sounds pretty nice to me. Might as well get inFAMOUS, and definitely Ratchet and Clank. Don't know about the PSP ones yet.

 

[FinalHeart95]

inFamous and LittleBigPlanet are the best games on that list and I already have them. Not gonna complain about free games, but still.

It looks like I'm gonna go for Dead Nation definitely, and not sure whether to do Wipeout HD or Super Stardust. I would go for Wipeout right away, but apparently it's just like the PSP game... which I already have.

 

[Zeraki]

Well I'm definitely going to be getting inFamous, my friend has been trying to get me to buy that forever. Not sure what to pick for my second game though. I guess I have the benefit of not owning any of the games they're offering.

They are still AAA games being given, and a good deal for people who missed them first time around. Again, was anyone expecting them to give away EA games?

Honestly it's surprising that they are even giving anything. I would much rather have an update that fixes some of the major psn problems and adds features such as in game mic chat with friends that are playing different games. Like xbox in a way but I doubt it will ever happen.

I'm pretty happy about this program it look nice and i'm looking forward to revist infamous

Good luck fitting two of those PSP games on one Memory Stick. I can't even fit effing Final Fantasy VII.

You need a bigger memory stick then.. Hell.. I have FFVII and FFVIII on my PSP with 3gb left over..
