EU PSN Welcome back gifts detailed (Infamous, LBP, Wipeout, Ratchet)! :O

"Now that certain PSN services have been restored and you're once again enjoying online gaming, it seems a good time to confirm what is being offered as part of the Welcome Back programme.

Once we restore PlayStation Store, which will be just a little while longer, you will have the opportunity to claim your Welcome Back gifts. Please note that the Welcome Back programme is only available for those countries with access to PlayStation Store*.

All existing PlayStation Network members will be able to access the following from PlayStation Store*:

Two PS3 games from the following list:

* LittleBigPlanet
* Infamous*
* Wipeout HD/Fury
* Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
* Dead Nation*

For those with PSP accounts, you will also be eligible to download two PSP games from the following list:

* LittleBigPlanet PSP
* ModNation PSP
* Pursuit Force
* Killzone Liberation*

- 30 days free PlayStation Plus membership for non PS Plus subscribers*

- Existing PlayStation Plus subscribers will be given 60 days free subscription.

- For existing Music Unlimited subscribers, you will be given 30 days free subscription.

- We are working on a Welcome Back offer in PlayStation Home and will share that when it is confirmed.

I would like to thank all of the developers and publishers involved in this programme for their support in making this happen. We certainly couldn't have done it without you.

You will be able to access this content once PlayStation Store comes back online and we are doing everything we can to make that happen as soon as possible.

Thank you for your support and keep checking back on the blog for more information.

1. For eligibility for the welcome back programme consumers must be an account holder on 20 April 2011. Specific details about these offers and eligibility requirements will be posted as the services go live. All existing PSN registrants have 30 days from when the welcome back programme goes live to redeem their content.

2. For the German market, InFamous and Dead Nation will be replace with Super Stardust HD and Hustle Kings in the selection of PS3 games.

3. For the German market, Pursuit Force and Killzone Liberation will be replaced with Everybody's Golf 2 and Buzz Junior Jungle Party in the selection of PSP games. Killzone Liberation will not offer online gameplay functionality.

4. 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."

From EU Psblog (being hammered atm), THESE ARE EU ONLY NA TBA LATER

I won't lie, i like it, Infamous here we go :)

This is for EU store. I have a feeling tis going to be different for different regions.

Hopefully NA gets the same deal. That would be sick. 2 games and 60 more days of PSN+

Damnit! I hope it's similar, I want me 2 free PS3 games.:(

As for InFamous being one of them, not surprising seeing as InFamous 2 is coming out.:P

do i get to keep those games?

Dam the germans get screwed hard.

"We have a sticky for matters related to the PSN outage."

The PSN is almost fixed brah, megathreads arent very good for finding out info and following the conversation.

do i get to keep those games?

Harisemo

Yes of course you do

do i get to keep those games?

Harisemo

I would get Infamous 1 and Ratchet and Clank. I really really hope that game offers come through to NA.. if not then we got screwed!

I hope the NA Store does something similar to this.

I would probably get Ratchet out of those choices.

Let's be honest, as far as damage control from Sony goes, this is pretty damn good! A month without online and they give you two high-budget, well reviewed games for free. That's not bad right?Kan0nF0dder

I think you get 4 games. I think its 2 ps3 and 2 psp games.

* Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
* Dead Nation*

I guess its those two for me lol. I own the others :P.

From what it sounds like if you have the EU psn store you get those games for free and it has nothing to do with PS+.

Does this mean the beta for Uncharted 3 is going to be completely open?

Two free games and a subscription to PSN+?

Not bad Sony. Hopefully NA gets something like this too.

Shame I have all of the games on disc or digital form...

Irecomend Infamous and Wipeout, have fun guys...

NaveedLife

If it's the same list here, I'll have to pick those too. :P

That's pretty damn generous of Sony especially considering they're not exactly obliged to give anything away free when the service was free in the first place.

God I wonder what MS would offer if a similar thing happened to XBL.

"Free 48 hour Gold trials for All!"
