NGP Is gonna be the bomb!
hip hip hooooraaaay for sooonyyyy lol
@ Buba bro i feel your pain. Im just slaying deathclaws until the store comes back online.
shark meat sandwich is where its at
You should trade your ps3 version of Fallout for a PC one. Check out the mods they have for it. Just google Fallout 3 nexus
I kind of wish I can DONATE the 2 free games to someone. The whole list is lackluster as it is.
im fighting off evil dragons until the store comes back up
josh you fanboy shut up
every one always asks for an exact date but they dont get one
Thanks for all the hard work Sony, can’t wait to get the rest of the services back up and running!
We appreciate all of your hard work!
GAME ON!
I think it’ll be Sharks v. Lightning with Lightning winning it, just my opinion though, St. Louis power all the way
I wish the PS3 version had mods..
NGP is gonna be bad A$$ as long as they change the name to something else
whos josh?
.HONEST HEARTS!!! i want that dlc. please let the store come back on soon
@ OniJsan just be grateful you get all this stuff, sony doesnt have to give you all this stuff for free
Fallout is awesome on the PC you know what forget you sony PC gaming for life
Dude I heard Graham was too easy to kill. I dont want to injure him anyway, im with the Legion.
Hes 2 post down from you 5693
ROFL samurai so why you here posting on sony’s blog ? shouldnt you be enjoying your pc gaming?
Since I got my PS3 on the May 10th, I’m not going to get the customer appreciation package… :(
i dont have a clue what u people r talking about
ur a fanboy samurisniper
Umm…thanks, but I already own those games. I guess I shouldn’t be such a fan boy and buy all your games and such.
awesome sony, you got your services back up and running AND you are giving us free stuff… now why wont your system let me delete my personal info such as my address? dont get me wrong i am happy psn is back, but i dont trust your security at all and would prefer to have as little of my info as possible under your ‘watchful eyes’
How pathetic, you first ASSUME we had patience, none that I know did, second, what a way AGAIN to screw over the international market by EXCLUDING us in free stuff especially considering we’re paying for PS PLUS services that were down for a month, and no mention of a refund of our money for that. Way to go loser SONY, no more Sony products will I buy ever again. Hello XBox
LISTEN BRO. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT FALLOUT NEW VEGAS, YOU’RE EITHER WITH HOUSE, YOURSELF, OR THE LEGION, OR THE NCR. WHAT PATH DO YOU CHOOSE?! ARGHHHH
All i wanted was the black ops DLC’s cause i just got a ps3 in the beginning of april. Too badd. Not complaining though, but i wish we could just get a $__ psn card you know?
I cant im to busy posting in the blackhole blog
@ TrKsR24 i think every one gets the welcome back package
Hey you can enjoy PC gaming and console gaming. I prefer the PC myself but they hardly ever release anything good, so I had to buy a PS3.
When is playstation store going to be back online?
and
Will be able to have one free downloadable content (like the Escalation map pack for black ops)?
please sony, don’t screw us with crap titles, we have been without for a long time…… and you say welcome back here’s a steaming pile of crap with ps plus which is cool, but really? some of the oldest titles that obviously you cant sell other wise there would be other crap games we could choose from. come on we deserve better than that!!
ALL OF YOU HAVE TO SEE THAT CHUCK NORRIS ROUNHOUSE KICKED THE PLAYSTATION LOGO
ON A JAPANISE COMPUTER SO SONY MADE THE PS3 AND WILL SOON MAKE THE CHUCK NORRIS
