Sony's PSN Apology Includes Free Games

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?

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

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.

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..

 

[RedDeadFred]

Is it bad that this makes me want someone to hack xbox live? Seriously two free games for a few weeks of downed service. I would take that deal any day.

I wonder what happens to people who already own all of those games though.

 

[Frostbite3789]

I almost bought LBP today, because I've needed it for awhile now. Glad I did not buy it.

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

Damnit. Super Stardust HD isn't coming to Europe.
Ah well, I'll take Infamous and Wipeout HD Fury.

 

[Furioso]

Can someone tell me what Dead Nation, Super Stardust, and Wipeout HD are, and if they are any good? I have the others

 

[BehattedWanderer]

LBP and Dead Nation? I didn't realize you were gonna be doing that? Though, ya'll in the EU get Ratchet and Clank, but at least I don't have to flip between three games I'd like.

Sure!

Spoiler: Just for you :)
