@4164 Just registered.
kill masta THERES NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THEN GAMEING AL<GNDSAFSJKGNHSAGFSAFSAGJH
@infected
lmao thats a good one
lmao @ Infected comment.
lol
infected and kyle is that a hacker site ?
no, im just adult enough to realize this couldve just as easily happened to nintendo or microsoft. also, before calling anyone pathetic….let’s try some punctuation and a spellchecker, lol.
@lukec1s
you must be a child that ok tho i use to be your age and ignorant
your right @luke nothin more important
so if i dont have any of those games wich should i pick?
@4174 look at the date on my old trophies dumbas_s
im 15 and i act this way on games and the internet but in RL im not like this at all
I own most of those games, and I didn’t buy those other games for a reason.
Who thought of this “Appreciation Program”. It’s a joke.
AWESOME!! Thank you very much, sony!
Sadly, just what I expected: A small selection of games and freebies with NOTHING anyone it the house wants (we own LBP and have no interest in the other four). The movie rentals are pretty much useless when you already have Netflix. I suppose the thought counts, which is a good thing because it looks like that’s all many of us are going to get :-(.
@ masta
I think he was being sarcastic, dude. Damn, I bet Sony is just reading all of this and laughing with their troll face poster up in the meeting room. Made a bunch of bad kids mad. Best troll ever!
what? gghytgfdt?
why
Ok, I’ve honestly been thinking sure this sucks but at least sony is giving us some free stuff for the downtime we’ve had to deal with and that we have dealt with as loyal sony customers, but truth be told this “welcome back package” is more of an insult than anything. They’re letting us download 2 free games like EVERYONE!!!!!!! who has a ps3 already has for free? I mean ffs wipeout was free in the beginning of playstation plus and who the heck hasn’t played the other games? Not like they aren’t some of the biggest playstation titles there are… oh wait…. Personally i was hoping to get like 20$ worth of free credit on the ps3 store. This is honestly insulting. Way to treat your customers like crap sony. [DELETED]?
why what?
lol i bet Admins that monitor this stuff are laughing there azzes off eseshally when they say SLOW DOWN YOUR POSTEN TOO MUCH D:
you said look at your old trophies :Pdumazz
ik right?
@lukec1s nope
kind of a crappy selection. good games but old. they def made sure to give ones most people already have
why did you tell me too look at your tropies?
ok
oh some guy was tryin to say i just subscribed
ok i am seeing notheng but cry babes that whats evey thang hell psn is free for 1 2 they are trying ther best with out busting them badley for 4185 & 4187 if u was a true fan u whant be acting like a child who what candy
:D
Oh and get your [DELETED] store up sony. This shouldn’t have even happened in the first place. You’ll be losing a lot of customers if you don’t step your game up from this crap. Oh and thanks for letting me redownload all these great games I already own (along with 90% of the PS population….)
when will the store be back up so i can redeem my kombat pass
Please add 2 or more months to the people who have playstation plus
lol good times
:)
NEED CRYSIS 2 NOW!!!!
luke – not a hacker site, It’s a clan site, hqkclan.com is a new site, but we been around since socom 1.
JerkCaptain- Dude, Punctuation? really? u want to convert to the Nerd ways of the Swartz? We got a Pizza The hut over here, telling me i need punctuation and spell check.. OMFG we’re on a gaming board, and i have a fleshlight that has sony’s logo on it and i sleep with it, and take it on dates because i’m too nerdy to get a real girlfriend. Dude get lost.
completely of subject
we deserve better than 2 games after all this time waiting SONY disappoint me
I think we should get half price on dlc like black ops . Just saying sony
2 games is a good thing what would you like nothing instead? then go ahead
Joshua Graham is not pleased.
Im gettin Infamous… again:(
THE GRAHAM CRACKER MAN!!!
@4215 really? a few weeks of outage and ur crying about it?
best thing for me is the 30 psn+. Hopefully i can get my hands on some decent free games that they release occasionally. Sony was shrewd in choosing those particular free games b/c they kno most people have them or at least played them by now. A better deal would have been to choose ANY 1 psn game for free but alas.
Stop being so greedy, guys. I’ll definitely be picking up Infamous and Dead Nation. And probably Modnation Racers and Killzone for PSP. Already got LBP so no choice. Thanks Sony! Now bring the store back, I got your money. :)
I guess is fair hurry and open store
what you mean?
ive had a ps3for a while and i dont have those games nor have i played them
Son Y I am Disappoint.
Store is still not up yet.. I just WANT to give you guys my money already.
