this definetly makes up for it. thx sony
yay thanks sony the only game i beat on that list is infamous. well the only one i played. and the 100 free virtual items they will be noob rewards lol
Thanks Sony.. I had been debating about picking up a copy of InFamous for sometime.
And welcome back
Because of the New update did Sony add anything new to the online feature that we don’t know of like cross game chat? were we can chat on our mics to our friends even on different games.
I think i’m about the only one here who’s not getting anything out of the deal. but is still being mature, and realizing sony’s making a gesture. which means a ton. they don’t owe you a thing, if anything hackers do.
KiLLa_KAM_666 i have blue rose cool
aaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome
Dead Nation and Super Stardust! or Wipeout, I can’t choose. I got Infamous when I got a PS3 and I got LBP for my birthday this year.
As for the PSP games I’ll pick Killzone and LBP PSP. hope there’s cross connection swag!
thank god sony has psn back on
Thanks Sony. You did’nt have to do any of this. Great list of games and service extensions. To all the whiners on this board, do us all a favor, trade in your Sony products and go somewhere else. IMHO Sony is going way above anything they needed to do.
Sony plz give everyone uncharted 3 BETA!i want it so BAD
thx sony i love this if be wating 4 ever
@DerKapitan i completely agree.i wanna slap each person complaining in here.they dont realise how childish and selfish they are.
Hmm i have never played Infamous and i have been thinking of getting it but i just wonder whats dead nation i have never herd of it before
way to go Sony, I don’t think that Xbox would ever do something this awesome for their fans for waiting.
That isnt good at all…..
I have all of them PS3 games. I just want to know the 3 weeks of dlc and ps plus stuff i missed. Only thing you can give me that would be any good would be PSN credit like 30$ , And Lots of discounts
What about those of us who lost time from DCU online?
hey sony my plus expired during the blackout will i get the extra 60 day plus or just the 30 day plus? it expired on 5/11 plz reply back so ill know thanks and keep up the good work
Thanks Sony!!!!!
@1175 You say that you have a 120 Slim PS3. That is 120 GB. You are reading that the games are 500 MB. You will have enough to download the games depending on how much you already have on it.
1024 MB = 1 GB
google it DJThrall. It’s a cool game.
you really don`t need to apologize it was not your fault i really hope you catch that hacker
What is sony doing for the people that already own one or all of these games??????
I guess I’ll get Dead Nation and uhhhh…cause I already own the rest. Never got around to LBP and MNR on PSP though. Considerate of you Sony…but as a gamer…of course I bought most all of the best games exclusive to your consoles…
I’d much rather ModNation Racers for the PS3 lol i have all of those except Dead Nation.
what happens when u own a psp and a ps3 dp u get two games for each ?
Put MAG in that freebie list!
awesome this is sure gonna make up for taking forever to get the service back up, glad i went out and got an xbawks.
So if we own a PS3 and a PSP are we able to get the downloads on both systems ? …..If I don’t ask I’ll never know for sure.
Thanks for getting the service back up
Glad Sony didn’t offer the most “COMMON” games!!!! I know that they didn’t need to give any games, but they have to know that most have those games already!
i haven’t received any emails for the password changing…it’s been hours, and the 1 email is only allowed for 1 user on the ps3 is frustrating me
Wow that is a good lineup, I have 3 of the five games already so now my collection will be complete :). I now realized my PS plus membership won’t end until like Feb of next year so I am happy and so glad just to be back online with the PSN world. Again Sony is making it up to us and this is a really nice lineup to start and can’t wait for the store to be back.
Awesome deal.been wanted to play dead nation for awhile now. undecided about the other 1. A+ Sony. don’t let it stop there. I think I’m still a bit upset… I could use a DLC code for some games that I need to 100%.
I appreciate the offer, but what about those people including me who already purchased these games? Could you possibly expand on this list or give those who already have these titles another option?
Even though we just changed out passwords. I was playing Black Ops and as i left a game it put me at the main menu and said “You can not play online with this account, it has been signed in on another PS3.” any hints Sony?? I changed my password again but really?
Oh yeah, I want WipeOut HD + Fury
Cool deal, Sony. Thanks! :)
I am loving it.
next time release the cyber hounds sony :)
can someone tell me were to get these games please i am in Jamaica but PlayStation store not opening here
They are giving you plus…aka discounts and such….enjoy it >.>
yeah can we get a one free game and one free download please sony please ive been with sony since ps1 so please for me
We love you Sony!
I appreciate the effort and it’s great to have the ability to get anything free at all, but the choice of 4-5 games doesn’t really suit everyone. The only one from the ps3 list I’d play is LBP and I already have it. It would have been a lot better and useful to have been given store credit. Even then, with store credit I could at least buy future addons for lbp. There’s nothing I can really do with this list at all. It would have been nice to receive a PSN compensation that everyone could use and not just the people who hadn’t already bought games from this slim list. :/
Wow were able to keep them forever never thought i would of heard those words. Anyways it looks like i will be picking up both Wipeout HD and Super Star Dust HD. I would of gotten Infamous and Little Big planet if i already didnt own them.
Good stuff, thanks Sony and everyone else who contributed.
Well… I already have Infamous, Little Big Planet, Super Stardust HD and Wipeout+Fury… Only Dead Nation remaining… At least, I don’t have any of these PSP games.
This is a sweat deal, but unfortunately I have played all those games to the point that I no longer can play them. I still own all of these games (PS3). It’s a great package Sony, I’m just one of those who has owned these games and I’m just done with them.
@Ninjanabs You cant sell psn games, LOL…. You’re an idiot… we all deserve EVEN packages if anyone gets anything. IT IS NOT fair to give everyone the same thing when some people, loyal customer people, cannot use them or already have spent money on those items… It actually gives less to the more loyal sony fans and more to the newcomers… what a bunch of crapola

I’m not surprised they are offering games that a lot of people already have. It’s not much of a loss for them, but unfortunately, this doesn’t make me feel appreciation toward Sony.
