@Overdose
I have a jar of cookies.
What now?
@5468 it also wouldnt matter even more because playstation network is free, therefore sony recieves no benefits
cool thanks sony
EXBR_Sniper pois é…
na hora de elogiar o nosso mercado elogiaam,
na hora de nos compensar nos ferram.
parece que nao compramos as coisas ou tivemos nossos
dados roubados tbm
I was lying i got a case :( i feel so bad now ill share lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im done bloggin for tonite PEACE IM OUT
Lol GameStop is only offering $140 in store credit for the PS3 with a 250GB hard drive. You all that want to trade it will be getting screwed big time.
who stole the cookies from the cookie jar??
sony did because they are CHEEEAAP!
nah jk
but cmon get the store up already
Dear Sony. I have got a message made out of 3 people that do have PSN.
What if we already all of these games? I think credit to the store would be fair for how much the game is worth. Sony if you think about it, it’s not hurting you, it’s money for the store but then again to get a game equivalent to the two games we picked technically wouldn’t be fair. Playstation Plus, the free 30 days, will not make me continue subscribing, so I find there is no point to that. I probably will only use it to get a demo (1) after that I will most likely not even use the other features to waste my RAM. I love how we get a free movie rental for a week, I think that is genius! In the next post is it possible you could be more specific to the stuff we’re getting (Virtual Items)?
(I only wrote the things the other people told me)
you only get like 80 bucks for 40 gig model
can you give us the Stores, Please?
LAWL
@South Well I KNIFE YOU!
You guys arent going to see the stores for at least 2 weeks to 3. GG.
free movie rentals but I already have NetFlix can i have something different sony pwease
we needed the store up yesterday got $200 hundered to spend dont give a fying F35k about free crap!!
If you delete the game after you download it for space can you re-download the game?
Plan to stop hackers: step 1 look for a hacking youtube channel.
step 2 spam their channel with that infamous sub4 sub comment.
step 3 sweet talk their moms into getting their address =D.
step 4 get a : private army , a nuclear missle bomb, alot of weapons, a tank and a helicopter, chuck norris ,rambo, and their parents.
step 5 get their parents in there to remove there computer privliges.
step 6 surround the house with the supplies mentioned from step 4.
step 7 (this is the last step so you better listen) get chuck norris to roundhouse kick them to death.
and that is how you stop a hacker my friends.
Well, I’m gonna go now! Samurai and South…You have a new stalker *cough* me (JK)
Hey, I have a US account but im not living now on US, i use psn cards for buy games from the store. This gifts will have IP filter??
Yea pay $380 for a PS3 with a 250GB hard drive (after taxes) and get $140 for it. If you are that dumb then you DESERVE to get screwed by GameStop lol.
@Overdose can i have some money to pay my electric bill so they dont cut it off
wen is playstation store coming back i need info
Oh and no one takes the cookies you heard NO ONE
can we have some more games to chose from? these ones are not that great.. if a callofduty game or Quadruple XP happens than i say YYYYEEEESSSSS SONY UR THE BEST but these games just dont cut it. thanks for the online gameplay for blackops but can u PLEASE fix your servers, there is so much lag in the game and i would like to know if you are fixing it
i feel like this is a chat room instead of a blog
Not to be ungrateful, but I think PS+ subscribers got a little bit shafted here. Sure, 2 free months of PS+ is great (that makes a total of, what, 15 or 16 months for early adopters who bought a year’s membership?), but I think people who shell out the extra dough each year for premium service should have gotten a choice of additional, more premium games, movies or whatever. Just sayin’. Maybe there will be extra-awesome PS+ exclusive content in the near future or something.
Having said that, the ‘Welcome Back’ program, as a whole, is pretty awesome, though. I’ll give Sony credit for throwing the vast majority of its customers a bone. Nicely done, Sony.
@ Rain….
yes…..embrace me
@5502 Im broke lol
I want the call duty add on for free how bout that
yes it is a chat room that is what this is turning in to need the store right now!!!
@Willz thats my plan

You wont see a CoD DLC for free so you might as well forget about it
@boondox30 Whoop Whoop whatup ninja add me bro

@AleAC77
vc fez conta com dados de verdade? se sim, ignore o resto.
se não, qual é o problema de terem roubado?

@julian_480 if you already got chuck norris to roundhouse kick them to death..what is the need for a private army, a nuclear missile bomb, alot of weapons, a tank a helicopter, rambo, and their parents? :)
