holy crap 8 bucks a day on lunch you must be rich
i will orange. guilty lol
thats right all hail sony are masters
does anyone know the sony national anthem?
is it just me or does it seem like sonys welcome back package seems like all sony owned product that costs them zip,0$, nada, zilch, does anyone else not see this..jeez……they are taking the low road here that is for sure an easy way out with 0 impact on their bottom line , step it up Sony, Show Microsoft that you are a better company and you do care more about your customers then they do!!!!!!!!!!!,cause i am really starting to feel like just a dollar sign here!!!!!
im killin this blog with my post I prob delayed the PSN store another week
@boon YES!!! SONY IS GUILTY GIVE ME MY $.4.40 SONY!!!!!
well i only wish that we could pick five from all games
there you go silent you finally started to think like a buisness owner ive been saying that since the 5500
@SILENT uuuuummmm did you forget that ps3 is a sony product? yeah they are greedy and cut as many corners as possible.
rip you only get 2 games for PS3 and 2 if you have a PSP
@silent we are all sony puppets.
holy shnikes it is 1 am i have got to go it was good peace out
What about my brother’s sub-account. if i take my 2 ps3 games, would he be able to do the same? i mean he has his own ps3 system and all (we dont even live at the same house anymore) but he is still using the sub i create for him back in the day not a master account…
anyone has an answer…?
@SamuraiSniper THANKS AT LEST SOMEONE SEES THE REAL PICTURE HERE TOO!!!
@sniper damn i wish i did not sell my s$@# brick (psp) 3 months ago.Missed out there huh?
yep you did
I’m happy to see that Sony cares enough about their customers to give free stuff for our understanding but I do have to say they are sorta only targeting a select group of users with game choices…honestly they should make it, take a free game(s) or receive some free Playstation network points to use on whatever….
I know me saying that is probably not going to change anything but I just wanted to state my opinion.
@silent dont forget about me!!! :( i have been exposing this tooooooo lolz
i have a simple question (somewhat)
when will the download history list be back up b/c my first strike map pack on black ops got deleted and now i can’t play with my friends?
Is it possible for you to email me the file so i can download it back on to my ps3?
loyal to the end,
yoda4272

@ Orange If you look way back at the start of this post you will see where i was one of the first to point this out on the blog lol

WOW AT LEAST PUT GOD OF WAR COLLECTION ON THERE INSTEAD OF SUPERSTARDUST. BUT GOOD JOB SONY, appreciate ur good work
Thank you PSN and everyone affiliated for your hard work getting the online community up and playing again.
Also thank you for the ‘Welcome Back Package’.I’m a PS+ member enjoy the benefits it provides.Keep up the good work.
What I want to know as I am sure people just like me wants to know is: “For people such as myself who own two ps3 systems, two psp systems, all of the accessories, approximately 50-60 games for each sub-system catergory (meaning 50-60 for ps3 and 50-60 for psp) and has playstation home installed on their systems and using only one PSN Account; how will the freebies work (for example: will I get two downloads for PS3 and is it for each system or per PSN Account and also two downloads for PSP and the downloads for Playstation Home)?”
