Hmm, weren't lemmings making a big deal about the 2 weeks they had off of XBL back in 2007 and how they got a free downloadable game? And how they *think* that they have more exclusive games due to XBL?

Well, PS3 owners win again- this time, we get 2 full-fledged RETAIL titles. This is why retail > digital downloads.

That's pretty awesome for people who don't own those games...I unfortunately own pretty much all of them except Dead Nation and there is a reason for that :P

It doesn't matter if it was completely down or not- you PAID for that time.

We don't have to pay anything, and we get something free out of it. :D

Cows would. They'd find some way to fool themselves into thinking it was a good thing.

So how exactly is Sony going to give 2 retail games to everyone with a PSN account? They gonna mail them out? 154 million games?

Was that sarcastic because I honestly think that's worth it. Then again, I don't play much online. I think this a pretty good deal consodering no credit card info (bar that Sony Online Entertainment thing) was stolen.

Pretty cool. I bought Infamous, beat it, and sold it, so it's cool I can grab this and play it again.

I guess I'd go with Wipeout, which I've never purchased because I heard it's really difficult. Since I already own SSHD, LBP, and the Ratchet and Clank game though, no other choice really.

It's a nice gesture, but I probably would not have wanted the service to go out in the first place. Or have my identity potentially stolen.

2008 Xbox live=spotty for 2 weeks where some users could get on and others couldn't because of a massive influx of xbox live subscribers a free xbla game *very good one at that* was given.

2011 psn=down near a month, all user data given away like that of a cheap garage sale mishap where a priceless family heirloom was sold for 25 cents, Possibly all credit cards comprimised.....

yeah they are so totally on the same level :roll:

So far, from the European list of PS3 games, I own 3 of the 5, and have no intention of playing the other 2, or I would have gotten them by now. I would rather have a list of like 20 games, that lets me pick 1.

Realistically? with sony's inability to even monitor their own network yeah you'll likely be able to abuse it...but it may be linked to your ps3 system.

I'll take InFamous and Dead Nation. However, how big are these downloads? My connection speed is quite slow.

Slashkice

They're all quality titles so I recommend going for the games you haven't played. Prioritize Wipeout HD above all else though, that game is a beast.

Ah alright! Kudos to you :)

Its official, PSN sucks.

Using this as ownage is like saying your wife was in a car accident but you got a thousand dollars off it.

Ah... so they arent retail games... they are downloadables... I understand that some titles can fill both categories, but the words of the TC made it sound like Sony was gonna be shipping out games to people, which didnt sound realistic.

Anyways... good for them. Dead Nation piques my interest.... everything else there I've played or don't care about.

:lol: Wouldn't have played online anyway and now I get Infamous and LBP which I actually really wanted. Not ownage for people who wanted online but for someone who hasn't touched his PS3 (other than Portal 2 which I am playing single player on) this is fantastic

Kinda messed up that it's two games most PSN using PS3 owners already probably have. Dead Nation and the Fury pack for Wipeout are the only two I don't already have, and Killzone Liberation and Pursuit Force are found cheap on the internet so this will be a really easy choice for me.

That's fair enough. To be honest, I own 1 of those game and I'm not really interseted in the other four. LittleBigPlanet looks alright I guess. I think I'm just a bit happy because I was expecting a lot less.

Well then good thing I own 2 systems. LOL. Seriously I own 2 of those 5 games and the other 3 besides maybe Dead Nation don't really appeal to me. Sony could have had a better list than this. Like how about CODBO. Just kidding.

It would have been much better if they would have just credited everyone's account with the amount of money equivalent to two of those retail games. Then we could all just pick out what we want.
