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

*faints* I've always had my eye on Dead Nation, this is excellent service. I just hope europe gets the same choices.

Great, I can get Q4B back on my Euro account after I lost my first account!

AND I CAN KEEP MY LAZY ASS IN THE CHAIR WHENEVER I WANT TO PLAY INfamous!!!!

I'm going to nab inFamous and Dead Nation on my US account.

I'll grab Quest 4 Booty and LBP on my Euro account.

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...

lbjkurono23
Not interested in Infamous? anyhow SSHD is fun and all,but would recommend wipeout HD. ps: go straight to LBP2

I've already got Infamous. Thanks for your suggestion. I'll try to get LBP2 when it's very cheap. There just more games I'm interested in before that one (unless they make a FF7 remake on there, haha).

Amazing that they are giving ALL account holders 2 free games... for a service that is free from the beginning. Sony is truly awesome.

edit: hopefully if I have enough space... I'll be downloading Wipeout HD. Doubt I have enough room for 2.. but I'll def redeem another and just hold off on the download for a later date.

I'd seen a post earlier leading me to believe that there would also be free PSP games as well?

If so, does anyone know what games will be available?

Thanks in advance.

EU and NA are the same except NA gets Super Stardust HD while EU gets Ratchet and Clank. So you will be able to get Dead Nation :P.

They should unsticky the current one and sticky this one, just cause it's newer :p Anyway, I'm getting infamous and wipeout. SilverChimera

Yeah, XVision put in quality work :P.

I own all of the games except for Wipeout HD/Fury (I've had it before, but don't anymore). Can't wait to download it.

I don't have a PSP PSN account. Is it just the same as our PS3 PSN account? I need to buy a new memory stick duo to take advantage of this, and update the firmware.

Meh Quest for Booty doesn't even have trophies and it's about the size of a DLC/Expansion but I may get it. It's either that and Dead Nation or Wipeout HD. I've got the rest.

Thanks for the answer fellas :).

I already have Killzone: Liberation. I have LittleBigPlanet 1/2 & ModNation Racers on PS3. Pursuit Force is the only PSP game I'm interested in, but that's good enough.

I own all of them except dead nation and played them all to death.

I don't have Fury expansion but I've played so much Wipeout and coupled with my huge backlog I prolly won't touch it for a while. Oh well its free I guess. Really wanted MAG to be free or at least discounted.

And need to be able to play a PSP games on the PS3. At least I would get a chance to play them, as I will never own another PSP again.

It's really a bummer for people in your situation (heck, I own a lot of these games). But, it's not like they knew what games you happened to own, and did it to spite you :P.

They tried to offer the best games they could, but can't please all of the 77 million users. Would be nice if they offered a game that you don't own, but that's just not probable.

Edit: There's still the month subs for PS+ and Music Unlimited (which I'll take advantage of)... :\ And free Home stuff :P.

Yeah, but the key benefits of PS+ (free content and cloud storage) have no lasting benefit beyond the month, so it's more like a free trial than an actual apology. It just feels half-assed.

So basically just check metacritic.

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

Da_lil_PimP

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.

Really depends on the situation. What happened to Sony was huge.

Huge for them, not for us. They are compensating us for temporarily losing the ability to use a service we don't pay for, when the reason we lost it wasn't even their fault.

It cost them an arm and a leg to rebuild it this quickly, but they are really going out of their way to compensate us.

I just wonder what MS would do in a similar situation.

I understand how people feel about the PS+ offer. Personally, I've planned on getting it sometime soon, and I think I'll renew it right before this trial ends.

I think you get to keep discounted items though. Well, 30 days to finish some games isn't so bad, I guess. Maybe you can subscribe right before the Uncharted 3 beta starts :P?

---

Overall, the goodwill gesture and recompense is more than adequate.

  • An option of 2 (out of 5 games) for the PS3 & PSP separately
  • Month trial of Playstation Plus
  • Month trial of Music Unlimited
  • Free Home items :P
  • And most importantly: a year enrollment in identity theft protection that includes up to $1 million in insurance

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

It kinda sucks considering I already bought all but on of these games..So I guess I'll just get Dead Nation since it's free, I really don't think I'll ever play it though, I mean the last thing I want to do is play some average zombie game. Why can't we get the choice of $20 to the playstation store or 2 free games? That would make me so much happier.

I'll be choosing Infamous no doubt, but i'm not that sure about the second one, first i thought about Dead Nation, but it doesn't seem that fun, and i'm not really a Ratchet fan, i going to have to check some of the other options.

I feel your pain :cry: even though I'm mostly happy that I get my Portal on Steam now, and I can play MAG again, it is a little dissappointing that I own almost all those games, and have played the ones that I don't. but oh well nothing I could do about it.

Older games that people would likely have by now if they really wanted them, but still a fair deal considering what the users went through.

I have every single one of these games, but traded in LBP when LBP2 came out so I will get that. And Mod nation and Pursuit force for PSP....

It looks like gamespot has bad scores for downloadable PSN titles compared to the all the other reviewers...why is that?

honestly imfamouse looks like the best game on the list, i think they are using this as an oppurnity to sell more copies of infamouse 2... even sowill be getting infamous, not sure what else...
