    I’m probably thinking what everyone else is by saying ” Can you just get the store back up or give us a stupid update on it”

    they should allow modnation for ps3 rather than psp

  • Death8u4u
    May 17, 2011 at 5:30 pm PDT

    “why not little big planet 2”

    Because they can still profit off of sales for that game.

    @5201 That doesn’t make them garbage. These games don’t cost SONY as much to give away as third-party titles would, and a couple of them have sequels in the works or out already. The others have sold enough units to pay for their R&D and such. People who get LBP or Infamous might get turned on to a franchise that they haven’t tried yet, they might even go out and buy the sequels. On the whole, SONY made a move that allows us to get something cool for free, and lets them sorta do a little indirect promotion on the side. You can take the stance that you wish for better candy in exchange for the “free” service, only you know for sure wether or not you even gave SONY your real personal info, and I highly doubt they ever had your CC# if you’re being so cheap and inconsiderate. Response is useless, screenshot or I’m right. Point is, SONY made the best of a bad situation, and nobody cares if some jerk likes it or not. money talks.

    Frankly I think this is quite a good program especially considering that Sony really wasn’t obligated to do anything. Even if it took a long time PSN is back and hopefully better from here on out. Thanks Sony.

  • Lilboii16
    May 17, 2011 at 5:32 pm PDT

  • Domo627
    May 17, 2011 at 5:35 pm PDT

    Why are so many people complaining? These are all great games and Sony and SCEA could have given us nothing whatsoever…..I mean think about it people movies, music, games, AND discounts what more could you want? Thank you Sony, only one thing….when is the store going to be up?
