Well, that's all folks :) I very highly advise that you do NOT judge by the scores of the reviews, but take your time to go through the links, read them, watch videos, etc. I already have Infamous and LittleBigPlanet so I'll be getting WipEout HD/Fury and either Dead Nation or Super Stardust HD (depending on what my friends get). I use the North American PSN so I can't download Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty. I hope you all found this useful and it helped you choose the two games you'd like to get for free. Have a great day everyone! :D

So basically just check metacritic.

That's cool though, I wish XBL would fully go down now :twisted:

Put me down for Infamous and Wipeout HD.

So really the only games worth getting are LBP and Infamous...but I already have both of them!

I guess I'll get Wipeout and Super Star Dust.

Do we have to download these? Or is their a retail option?

My internet speed is not that fast :(

I'll get Infamous and Dead Nation. I was hoping MAG would be available. Not only because I miss it, but because the numbers have been so low for the longest time.

No retail option I'm afraid, only available for download.

I wonder what MS would offer its subscribers if Live went down now. Sony raised the bar for offering this much for the temporary loss of a free service.

Is there any limit on the time to redeem, or is it when ever?Inconsistancy

According to the update on the European PS Blog (Where they talk about what European PSN users get for the package) everyone has up to 30 days after the package is available to redeem everything. Like I said though, this was in the European PSN Blog, but not in the North American one. It could be different, but I wouldn't really take my chances :)

I'll get Ratchet and Clank and Dead Nation I think :]Ravensmash

Im not sure what to get. Im thinking dead nation and wipeout, but that stardust one looks interesting too. hmm...

30 days

I'll take Dead Nation and possibly WipeOut HD.

Why are you leaving out the PSP games? Anyway I think I will be able to obtain 4 games which will be Wipeout, InFamous, Pursuit Force, and Mod Nation Racers PSP.

Little Big Planet and Rach.....NOOO!ITS ONLY FOR EU :( :( Either Dead Nations or Wipeout. Help me out people.

Infamous and Stardust for me. mrmusicman247

remove stardust and put dead nation and i agree...i have stardust..it's pretty fun and can be a nice side game

Gimme free stuff on my PSP kthx.

Would be better if they said, one game and one chance to change yo PSN username :P

coolyfett was wondering that as well. Coolyfett like how they are getting LBP out there on both systems not everyone has played it...now there is really no excuse not to have it. Every Sony game owner will get it free of charge!! Coolyfett will Pursuit Force & LBP

When can we starting downloading these games off the PSN store?lawlessx

As soon as PS Store is back up I think. :P

I'm thinking Wipeout HD and LBP.

I can't decide between Dead Nation and Stardust. Reccomendations?

Getting Dead Nation and Wipeout(I have HD, but I don't have Fury). For PSP, I'm getting ModNations Racers and LittleBig Planet. I can get Killzone and Pursuit Force for ~$10 online while MNR and LBP are still about $20.

Does the menu change? I got mine from a voucher and I don't remember if it had Fury included.

Not to sound greedy, but for owners of both a PS3 and a PSP, are we being allowed 2 games for both systems?

Don't have LBP, but don't think I want it (unless anymore can confirm it's an amazing co-op experience). I'm not a huge platformer fan so I don't know how much I'll like it. I'll probably end up taking the dive and getting it. But then again, LBP 2 makes LBP completely obsolete so if I was ever to get LBP2 then LBP would be a waste.

I think I'll get Dead Nation for sure because I want to play this co-op with a friend and it seems fun. Most of the reviews confirm that the game is fun experience.

So that leaves SSHD, Wipeout HD, and LBP, hmmmm...

Wait, I get a free game :shock: I hope PSN goes down more often :Ptomarlyn

Not a free game, but two free games! :)

I'm pretty sure the HD is the clean white background while Fury is black. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I saw that somewhere.
