  • How bout you instead, give us credits in the amount of the games you offer and let us choose what we think is good for us rather than giving us an option of games we already have.

  • i guess free is free, but i already have a lot of these, so this is pretty useless for me.
    i’m assuming a lot of hardcore PS3 fans have a lot of these, too. so this is pretty useless for them.

    offer something a lot of people already have, so you can save money? pretty shrewd, sony. but i see right through you.

  • i own everysingle game on that list

  • those are great, but……already own like 95% of those (except pursuit force(?) and wipeout fury, got the core game). those are still great games, was hoping for some newer stuff that almost everyone wouldnt have already. Kinda just waiting for the store to come back in general to get Outland.

  • Great selection….for people who never buy anything.

    I have all PS3 games from the list (except for Fury, but I own the original Wipeout).

    In other words, loyal customers get nothing, and casual buyers get rewarded for not giving money to Sony.

    I don’t think that’s fair…at all.

  • when will the ps store be back up?

  • Unfortunately, I already have all 5 of those games. I’m sure many people will enjoy it, though!
    Awesome Welcome Back, way better than what I was expecting!
    As for the free Home content, how will we download those items? Will it be a voucher code that we redeem in the PlayStation Store and download all the items from there?

    Thank you, Sony!

  • thats cool nut i was hoping for a free add on too

  • AWESOME!!!!!

    THX SONY!!!!!!!!!!
    (BTW: I’m totally getting LBP and inFAMOUS)

    When will Playstation Store be back up? Soon I’m guessing???

  • How to get it sony

  • great job, Sony – kinda wish it was just psn credits though instead of specific free games…

  • This is BS

  • ADD me on psn DARYL-17-OPS

  • I already own 4 out of the 5 titles… But I can’t complain I guess. Thank you Sony for showing your appreciation.

  • This would awesome if I didn’t already own all of these games. Thanks I guess

  • Great job Sony and microsoft cldnt of done better

  • What happens to those sony fans that already own all those games listed? Can they get a 5 dollar credit? Or a 10% off new psn games for a month? I know I’ll be buying more, I love dlg (downloadable games). Speaking of which, Please upgrade the menu feature for the game list. I have over 90 games listed in ps3 games alone, and I wish I could put them in folders to separate them or something. Right now I just have them split between mini ps3 and ps1.

  • hey what if i live in the caribbean but registered my ps3 in the US can i get these games ?

  • Amazing package for those who do not own any of the titles. Even though I own all of the PS3 section, I’m just happy to have the network running again and will look forward to the other offerings.

    Thank you Sony and the studios that contributed to this!

  • OMG I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS AN TO SONY A BIG HUG FROM ME ZOMBIES HERE I COME, OUR PATIENCE REWARDS US WOOHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • Suggestion: Put out a free avatar which says: “I survived the PSN outage of 2011!” :D

  • loveingthisyear

    thats whats up sony

  • It’s nice to see free games being given out as compensation for the network outage. I certainly don’t feel entitled to being compensated, but I have all of those games for PS3 already.

  • TurkFebruary2010

    Hm. I already have the one title that matters in my mind, but y’know what, I’m not gonna bash the offer. Thanks for the gesture Sony.

    By the way, if anyone’s a KillZone fan add me to your friends list. TurkFebruary2010

  • Man that’s awesome! I’ve been wanting to get Little Big Planet for a loooooong time. Can’t decide on which other game to get though… maybe wipeout? need a good racing game. :)

  • @Patrick Seybold
    Ok so if I own a PSP and a PS3 I’m entitled to 4 games total, one for each system?

    Also that list of PS3 games is a bit weak. Problem is that I’m such a “loyal” playstation customer that I own every single one of those games for PS3. Only value I see here is that I get to have digital versions of the titles I already own. Thank you for bumping PS+ subscribers from 30 to 60 days free.

  • WTF ?? what if im from europe then no games or what !!!! ?

  • OMG…I love you.

  • I heard we’d be getting money in our accounts, but this works to. Despite the fact that i really wasn’t expecting compensation. Thanks Sony

  • Woot i could finally get lil big planet and wipeout!

  • Awesome Sauce! Thanks Sony

  • I get the shaft as usual. I own all of the games already… thanks for nothing!

  • WOW! fantastic!!! I am definitely digging all these freebies, I would have chosen Lbp and Infamous had I not already owned them :( oh well I’ll settle for deadnation and super stardust HD for PSP ill be getting LBP and Killzone. The 3 + weeks of wait were definitely worth it, you are on the right track to getting back on our good side SONY! WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

  • I encourage everyone to play Wipeout HD + Fury.

  • Thanks Sony

  • I MAY NOT OWN THESE GAMES NOW BUT PLAYED AND BEAT THEM,sux i would have prefered a mappack or some other game i havent played,hopefully we can be noticed and worked some other deal.

  • HOLY SHNIKES! For realz? SONY, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! This is such an awesome welcome back package! And wow, isn’t Infamous and LBP valued at $30 each? Man I thought people were being greedy and over the top when they asked for a $60 worth compensation, but I can’t believe you actually went beyond that….Thanks so much!!

  • nice thats what iam talking about! boi!!

  • WOW!! Thanks Sony! I had to trade in LBP to get LBP 2, no i can have both :)

  • Heck yeah! Dead Nation and Infamous for me! oh and the 100 PS Homes items are nice as well…thanks Sony, YOU ROCK!

  • Great now i can get more trophies and more games Just plain awesome from PlayStation

  • yeeeah buddy! Thanks Sony. 8)

  • I own all 5 games already. Which means I pretty much get nothing for supporting you guys before you screwed up. So, thanks for nothing.

  • Wow this is pretty crazy. SONY is doing a nice job coming back from this hiatus

  • Damn, Sony. Thanks!

  • interesting but i own all those games, how does that help me

  • Huzzah. I get to choose from 5 games that I have absolutely no interest in playing. Great selection. I guess Sony’s appreciation is reserved only for certain types of gamers and not for those of us that shooters and racing games. Thanks for nothing. Actually, thanks for nearly a month of nothing.

  • i get question you give the digtial verison or the disc verison of inFAMOUS and
    LittleBigPlanet or even the psp game as well i like to know that all if you can answer that be great

  • Thank you guys so much :D My friend is going to be salty because he switched to xbox.. lol what a noob. add me guys

  • I appreciate each and every single thing Sony is trying to do to get everything back on track. I also love the fact that they are giving out free games, but…..

    WHAT IF I OWN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE GAMES ALREADY!?!?

    Is there another option for those users or is that really it. I don’t want to seem selfish or ungrateful. Yet as a loyal Sony customer. I already own and try and buy the best games as soon as they are out.
