Sony's PSN Apology Includes Free Games

[imagremlin]

My internet connection will never handle downloading full games. It can barely handle multiplayer and can't download demos. Will they give us hard copies?

Dream on pal. Would you like some fries with that?

Sadly, a quote from their blog reveals the following:

Access to the 30 days free PS Plus subscription is only available for those countries where PS Plus is offered. You will have access to the PS Plus content planned for May for 30 days. Access to the free games and exclusive features finishes at the end of the 30-day subscription period. Anything you buy with exclusive discounts, dynamic themes and premium avatars are yours to keep forever.

Sounds like they're not giving the games to us at all, they're giving us 30 days free play. Much less enthusiastic now.

well let us all hope that you are wrong. i sure am

Sweet. Wipeout HD. I loved the wipeout games.

And apperently we in Europe can also choose a Ratchet and Clank game...Awesome.

Well considering I've never bought anything online with my psp because I don't want to fill up my memory card with games. I'd have to say I really don't like the free game list for the PSP. I mean sure there is LBP but I've tried the demo and it wasn't that great on the PSP and the only game I don't know anything about is pursuit force.

pursuit force is actually really fun if you dont want the others try this for sure

he is if you read it over it says all extras are yours to keep forever

I was hoping we would get free DLC as well (as part of this "apology" package) but oh well. I already have inFamous on disk (great game) so I think I'll get Dead nation and maybe LBP (never played it so I think it will be nice).

Also, this apology package sounds great and all but...when is PSN store going to come back for us to enjoy it?

there is only 2 good things about lbp is the level editor and that sucks anyways and playing multiplayer with friends in the same room

Funny, I suggested something along these lines a week ago, even the movie rentals.

 

[JWAN]

Id rather they pay me back if my financial info was stolen. But free games is a start.

 

[presidentjlh]

That's surprisingly generous from what I expected. My kudos goes out to you, Sony.

 

[King Toasty]

I know Sony had lax security at best, but I can't help but to feel sorry for them. Lost a LOT of business, ruined many a game-launch. (Brink.)

Me? I'm staying with Sony. This won't stop be from playing War for Cybertron.

 

[presidentjlh]

Not to mention, while it was very imprudent and ill-advised of Sony to have such poor security, if the people that planned this out weren't such scumbags as to steal people's financial information, this wouldn't have been an issue.

 

[PixelKing]

What is dead nation?
LBP and InFamous unless dead nations anygood.

I really really hope I am, but with a condition that ambiguous I smell a dick-move ahoy.

 

[Jadak]

Doesn't Infamous 2 come out soon? Smart move there, great way to draw attention to the series for those who haven't played it yet and boost sales for the sequel.

Sweet deal anyways, always wanting to give Wipeout a go.

 

[x-machina]

Does anyone know how much infamous and Little Big Planet trade in for at a place like EB Games?(I think EB Games is called gamestop in the US)

I might just turn this apology package into cash

You can only get it from PSN, so it's impossible to trade it in.

I already own those games, I meant selling my copies and getting free digital replacements

 

[Tiswas]

Shame. The only ones I'd want I already own. Guess I'll go with Booty and Dead Nation and let them rot on the Hard Drive.

Woulda preferred $20/£15 voucher for the PSN store myself.

 

[Kyle Roberts]

Dead nation,INfamious Hell Yes!

 

[TheAmokz]

InFamous and little big planet? Sweet!

 

[Trogdor1138]

That's pretty sweet. I wonder what Australia will get as well...

Another 6 month localisation waiting time?

Ziiing.

Haha, that and being charged twice as much for everything and lacking Mortal Kombat.

 

[Bigsmith]

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..)

That is, if new customers are eligible for the deal.

This is quite cool, shame I don't own a PS3, would snap up Little big planet and INfamous.
