  • Any chance of options for those with all those games?
    Can be confirmed by checking trophy lists.

  • What if we have them all?

  • beastly_giraffe

    Instead of the games, will we be able to get the call of duty DLC when it comes out just a thought.
    Send me a message on my account.

  • That would be awesome if i didnt already own the entire offered ps3 list. Seriously would it of hurt to just give everybody 60 bucks psn store credit?

  • Sweet! Thanks Sony!!! :D

    Keep up the good work :)

  • This is cool, but what if you have all five of the PS3 games offered? The 60-days PS+ is a nice touch though.

  • I’m so happy :'(

  • I own any of those five PS3 games.

    Decisions! Decisions!

  • Savagesephiroth

    alright sony!!! way to keep the true loyal players alongside ya even though the real true suppoerters wouldnt ever give into doubt :o)

  • Amazing! Thank you sooooo much Sony!

  • I’m Impressed! Sony still takes care of its customer base

  • @10

    Are you kidding? Activision is so greedy that the word free doesn’t exist in their dictionary.

  • But I played and beat those games…

  • Kind of sucks that I already own all those PS3 games – feel free to glance through my trophies.

    Should be some sort of reward for the hardcore PS3 user like myself who played through those games ages ago and also subscribes to PS+.

    I appreciate the 60 free days of PS+ though – it makes sense to get back what we lost and get 30 more free days.

  • Magicul-Mexican

    This is AWESOME!! I LOVE YOU, SONY!!!!!!

  • Thank you. I feel sorry for the people who traded in their PS3 for an Xbox due to this little incident.

  • Was really hoping Patapon 1/2 would be there for PSP offering.. but free stuff is always good even though some of that stuff I already have. Thanks!

  • i tried 2 play mortal kombat online but it doesnt let me does it have 2 do with my ps3 being an older model???

  • Nice! Very nice – thank you!

  • Yes!!! sony thanks im a psp owner and now i get to pick from awesome psp titles for free!!1

    im going with little big planet And killzone!

  • I appreciate the offer, but you’re essentially not giving your most loyal fans anything. Little Joey who plays games on the PS3 1 hour a month and has given Sony maybe $10 in the past 3 years will benefit out this. But what about the diehards who play for 20-30+ hours per week. They likely already have PS+ and ALL the games mentioned, what do they get? Why not give a game that came out over the downtime since NOBODY will have already purchased it.

  • Cyrus_Nightshade

    That list need to be longer, I already have those games. Oh well

  • nvm i see canada included as well :P. thank you sony

  • Thank You Sony, when does Europe get these? All the best and glad all is well now.

  • im ps3 & psp user do i get 4 games?

  • Patriot_Infinity

    Thanks Sony, this is more than generous.

  • In Sony I trust

  • nice picks nom nom nom !!! thanks sony

  • Wow! I seriously did not expect this at all! I Know I’m going to get LittleBigPlanet, but what else???

  • Thank you, Sony PlayStation and Qriocity peeps.

    I know I’m not the only one talking about this but is there anyway you can work out a deal with Netflix for credit on our accounts for the down time? Also, is there a way to watch movies through Netflix without having to sign into the PlayStation network?

    Thanks again.

  • TwiztidPsycho420

    thats freakin sweet! i know what im getting XD

  • oh and another question…lets say i bought something with my new psn+ account….but i don’t renew that account, do i lost everything i bought?

  • What happens if i already own everything that is being given away for free? The only thing I don’t own is Super Stardust HD and because of where I live I cannot view video content. Please give me an answer Patrick.

  • This is great! Now we just need details on when the Playstation Store will be available. :D

  • @28 i agree i always want to change my ID and if i make a new account i have to go prestige all over again :(

  • That is a good list of games. Too bad I own all of them already so nothing free to me :( I’ll probably just grab Infamous and LBP just to have on the hard drive.

  • I already have 4 out of the 5 games already. Lol. Oh well I guess I can download one and sell the disk version then.

    Thanks Sony for getting us up and running again and most of all thanks for the Welcome Back stuff.

  • Thats awesome how we get free stuff!! Sony you rock!!!

  • i wanted call of duty, mafia 2, gran turismo 5 , need for speed hot pursuit , but anyways thnx alot :)

  • Those are some pretty sweet games, but what if we already own all of them? Can we download the PS3 and PSP games? I think a better idea would be store credit and we can download what we like.

  • Thanks for the free stuff! Just keeping us safe would be the best gift ever so…lets just not let it happen again and we’ll forget the whole think mmmk.

  • eyesofreality03

    this is an amazing list, i do have a question…i already have the entire list of games from the ps3 section, i already love the entire list and don’t want to seem whiny or unhappy. is there compensation for those who already have games from the ps3 list?

  • Hell ya

  • hopefully this means that the store will be up again soon!

  • I really wish people would stop complaining about the game choices, and be thankful that we’re getting anything. Really, all we had to do was WAIT… to play a GAME… it’s not as if we had to put our lives on hold because Playstation was down. Thanks for everything, Sony! You’re awesome (:

  • Keep those horrible games…. How about just give us credit to use how we wish?

  • Er… I own all of these Sony. You guys need a bigger selection. Can’t you send $20 to my wallet and be done with it? Dag nammit.

  • @Mauhnoy i feel the same ialready own many of these so id hope wede get some type of equal value towards us otherwise its wasted

  • Wow! This is excellent! Thanks very much for everything Sony; this really is an excellent package. I’m definitely interested in checking out the PS Plus membership so this is a great opportunity for me I think. Infamous and LBP or Dead Nation sound like awesome titles to me! You guys should aim for early next week because that is when I will have graduated college. =) Thanks again for all your hard work.

  • This is why I stick with Sony Products. Sony makes up for any thing that happens Microsoft doesn’t simple as that. I’ve complained about several of Microsoft’s products and I have never gotten a response from them. Sony tried to keep us up to date as best as they could. Sony you have forever earned my trust.
