  • I’ve been loyal to you PSN and I’ll always will be. Thanks a lot for the welcome package.

  • oh and what about the reward how do and when do we get them????

  • I thought we would be getting Cross-Game chat too :(

  • Good effort Sony except for the PSNer’s that already have those games,but thats life i guess and i have had PSN+ since it started….

  • Good work sony!!!

    time to dust off my psp…

    inFAMOUS and LittleBigPlanet for Ps3

    Killzone and Liltlebigplanet for PSP…

  • plus the one game on the list i dont own is little big planet and i dont care for that game. so I basically dont get anything for my pain and suffering.

  • really? that’s it? i mean it’s cool that i’m getting a free copy of inFamous… but still… that doesn’t seem like much… And what if you’re PS3 and PSP owner? do you get to take advantage of both offers and download 4 free games? or do you just get 2 free games to us on either the PSP or the PS3?

  • Yay !! :D sounds great , hopefully it will be available in Europe soon

  • Do we get to choose 2 psp and 2 ps3, or is it 2 titles total, meaning 2 on one system or 2 on the other sytem or 1 on each. i’m confused about this? Hope its 2 on each system.

  • Wow nice Sony back online and kicking :p

  • How will Sony make sure that people who have more than one account don’t just get all the free games if they have like three or more accounts where they can just get all of the games because that’s pretty cheap.

  • Is there a plan to cover MAG extra character slot ‘subscriptions’? Because of how long the system was down, most of the second and third slots people might have paid for will have expired. Since the store is down, we can’t even buy an extra month. Ideally, I’d like to see accounts that had the extra slots credited for the days PSN was down, and for the expiration to be disabled while the PSN Store remains in maintenance.

  • wytetrashrenagad

    Bring back road rash

  • @Jedicero

    Yeah i agree on them picks, i dont think the other 2 look good

  • I appreciate the offer, but I have Dead Nation and Infamous already and am not interested in the other PS3 games :(

    Would it be possible for you guys to add a few more games to that list for us to choose from please?

  • Thanks PSN and their employees and partners! This is an awesome package beyond my expectations. So glad to have the Network up and gaming.

  • WHAT???its only for us and ca residents???!!!what about the other countries?That´s why i hate brazil

  • CorruptedSavior

    That’s pretty sweet. I’m gonna choose inFamous and LBP. I’ve been loyal to Sony since the ps1 and I shall stay loyal = )

  • @267
    Ditto

  • That sucks I just bought Infamous when PSN went down so I would have something to play.

  • I was excited about this. Less excited now because I already own all the free games. Thanks I guess.

  • Really? Is there any way to just deposit an amount of credit, like $20, into your account of you choose NOT to redeem any of those? I literally own all the games listed (that I want, in other words all the good ones) and have been a loyal customer to not only playstation but Sony as well (my PSP, Vaio, and Bravia can prove that.) Just kind of seems like a nice welcome back package to newer customers, but not to long-time ones who have been with you from the get-go. I’d love some credit instead, and quite frankly was shocked when there was no mention of credit being deposited into everyone’s accounts. You’d be making money by doing so as we would be more likely to continue downloading content from the PSN store with a small incentive, like the $20 credit I mentioned earlier.

  • lulz this blog is moving way too fast XD

  • Yay I am excited for infamous never played it before

  • Should have been new titles. or gow hd digitally might have been appealing. All of us sony fans will already own those

  • thank you sony you guys are the best and will be forever : )

  • Thats cool… but unfortunetly I bought all those PSN games already. Thanks anyway.

  • aistis123456789

    Wow this is so awesome that you are giving us 2games for free I can’t believe that you are doing this but can’t you give more games rather than those five to chose from

  • Great! But I already own all the PS3 games offered. Can’t there be more games to offer?
    As French Canadian and Sony fan, I feel left over, can’t participate in contest and can’t access to new stuff! x.x

  • Though it seems like a nice option, I already own all of those.. not a very good compensation for me.. would have been better to provide me with a store credit…

    over all not happy.

  • thanks sony this mean alot to me

  • Wooot You Guy Rule At Sony

  • Thank You.

  • Thanks for the update and great going on getting it up

  • Very Cool! Thanks SONY!

  • THIS IS GREAT..THANKS SONY :)

  • well all i want is infamous not sure about the other ones and my psp sd card is too small for me to even care about those ones

  • i feel bad for those traitors who bought xbox

  • half decent titles i guess not overly impressive the reel tide turner would have been 20 or 50 dollars psn credit and an extention on ps plus if u have it cause these titles lets just say arent unbelievabley amazing like half these comments say they are

  • WOW, thx Sony and feel free to add me peeps… I play all kinds of games online…

  • Too bad I already have all of those games :/ (as most loyal fans probably do)

  • Here’s a question:

    Will my saves/trophy data for my disc based copies of LittleBigPlanet and inFamous cross compatible with the download versions? It’d be nice to be able to swap them out for digitals, and then trade them towards something else, like say…..inFamous 2.

  • WaveLightning777

    The Home Mansion Garage will be free? AWESOME.

  • silient_but_dead

    yesss fianally thanks alot, but i was hoping for more games add me =D

  • nice keep up good work sony wait e3 live

  • Almost bout inFAMOUS over the weekend and Little Big Planet is on my “to buy” list. Thanks, Sony!

  • This would all be great if i didnt already own all those games. Sony please just put cross game chat that would make up for everything

  • WHAT ABOUT US RLS PEOPLE?!

  • alright i had a playstation account and it said i had to go to my email to follow the instructions on how to sign in and stuff. but the email address i originally had at the time isnt valid any more. what do i do??????

  • Well, looks like I’m picking a good time to get a PS3. (already have a PSP though so I’m not freeloading off this, I was affected too)
