If the US gets the same selection I won't mind. The only one of those I own is LittleBigPlanet. I've really wanted to play Wipeout HD.

 

[wwm0nkey]

So I can use my Eu account and get LBP and Infamous? Awesome!

 

[Ihya]

Fuck, about £20 saved there then! Excellent stuff, they could have been a hell of a lot cheaper.

 

[JWong]

I... I have... I have all those games. ;_;

 

[Goldrusher]

Those are very good games.

Unfortunately that also means chances are high you already own (some of) them.

 

[smallios74]

Shame ive played most of those games, but its far better than i expected. I will get infamous (again) and Dead nation. I can see some being miffed but i think its better than a couple of $10 PSN crappy games. Does the Fact that PSN+ get 60 days extra mean the store will be up around the 20th May as that would about a month since it went down?

 

[Danielsan]

Already own four of those games and Dead Nation doesn't interest me.
People who don't own Wipeout HD deserve to brick their PS3's if they don't get it now. Might just be the best PS3 game out there.

 

[Why would you do that?]

That's... pretty awesome.
I borrowed a couple of Ratchet and Clank games from a friend, forgot which ones they are. So I'll take WipeOut HD and either Infamous or Ratchet, depending on what game I borrowed.

Like I said in the other thread this kind of reward only disappoints the loyal PS3/PSP fan (the person most likely affected by the outage) since they most likely own all those games.

But I guess they'll be the most likely to return anyways...

Anecdotal evidence, sure, but I personally know at least 5 or 6 people that actively use PSN, and none of them have most of these games. So I'm sure they'll be pretty happy.

 

[Zeliard]

So we only get them for 30 days? Not as good as first thought...

Yeah with Plus anything you buy for free only remains as long as you're on the subscription.

What they've done is a sneaky way of using this disaster to gain (potentially a lot) more recurring PS Plus subscribers.

 

[Mechanical Snowman]

30 days of free stuff? You keep any discounted items anyway so it's a free month of discounts at least, even if you don't get to keep the free stuff.

Yeah I should have read the OP more closely.

That's pretty disappointing; those 'freebies' are titles that most people already own, and you still have to pay to get discounts with Plus.

I don't even care too much, it's just a weak attempt at trying to win back affection.

Yeah with Plus anything you buy for free only remains as long as you're on the subscription.

Yep.

 

[Neuromancer]

Also, any PS3 owner who doesn't already own Wipeout HD isn't worthy of it and should not be allowed to play it.

Pretty much

 

[Dambrosi]

Hmmm, defo inFAMOUS and possibly Dead Nation (only possibly, because I've heard bad things about its checkpoint system) or Little Big Planet (again), unless...

I'll likely be getting the two PSP freebies as well, so can anyone tell me how Little Big Planet PSP interacts with the PS3 version? Thanks.

Also, here's hoping SCEA offers some different games, if they offer any at all - they haven't actually said whether they will yet, have they? I'm confident Japan will get freebies, but with SCEA you never know...

 

[ToyBroker]

Seriously I have all of those already.

Poor you. Guess you'll have to settle for whatever free games come during your free month of +.

I'd recommend Dead Nation for anyone who hasn't gotten it. It's totally awesome.

 

[MurkyZebra2417]

Nice move with Infamous, very good and cheap advertising for Infamous 2.

 

[Evlar]

I'll be getting Infamous and Dead Nation, I guess. Only two on the PS3 list I don't own.

On the PSP side... I don't own any. I'll get LBP and...

 

[dejan]

This is pretty cool, I'll take Little Big Planet and Wipeout, please. Too bad I never registered an account for my PSP.

 

[Zoibie]

These free games here are separate from PS+

 

[jett]

LBP and Infamous for me! Free games ftw.

 

[BackwardsSuggestions]

Got them all but Dead Nation.

Might get inFamous since I sold it.

 

[xxracerxx]

Wipeout & Dead Nation for PS3

LittleBigPlanet & Killzone Liberation for PSP

 

[ToyBroker]

Yeah I should have read the OP more closely.

Yep.

And if they did nothing you gigantic cry babies would be shouting even more expletives from your ivory towers.

 

[Akkad]

You know Mass Effect 2 is available in the store, just saying Sony.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

I wonder whether it will be IP locked like the movie store, so you can only download the free content from your own store...

 

[slaughterking]

I already own all of them. Sucks. :I

 

[RomanticHeroX]

I live in the US but have a European account (and others) for downloading region specific demos and things. Could I still use those accounts to claim these games? The wording of that release makes it seem like I could.

 

[lunarworks]

As a Canadian, I must worry about the size of these downloads. :/

(That is, if we're getting the offer.)

 

[Creamium]

I guess that's a kickass list if you've just bought a ps3 and haven't played anything. That being said, I don't have Wipeout and Dead Nation yet, so the choice is easy for me.

 

[03sho]

Where's this on the official blog?

 

[brotkasten]

So they basically let you rent two games for 30 days?

 

[DiscoJer]

Pursuit Force? That was a launch title, or close to it. November 2005 it came out.

They should have offered HSG2 or HST instead. Or Jeanne d'Arc. Or at least a Wipeout.

And I guess they had to pass because it was M rated, but most people have completely missed out on how awesome the PSP Syphon Filters are. Giving them away could correct this. But they are pretty much a hard M, if only for the tutorial sequence in the first one...

 

[Corto]

I was really hoping for Warhawk...

 

[rainking187]

I hope we get different PSP games in the US, the only one on the list I don't have is Modnation, and that's because I don't want it.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

LBP and Infamous for me! Free games ftw.

You got SLIM?????!

 

[zomgbbqftw]

So they basically let you rent two games for 30 days?

No, the free welcome back games are free to keep I think, but the PS+ free downloads will go if you don't re-up.

 

[Mr_Brit]

meh, they could at least let us keep the games.

 

[DiZ_O]

Cool, I do not own a single 1 of those games.
Will probably get Infamous and Wipeout.

 

[MurkyZebra2417]

So they basically let you rent two games for 30 days?

No, you have 30 days to redeem the free games, and then they are yours.

 

[daevv]

They have taken down that blog post now for some reason...

 

[LiK]

So I can use my Eu account and get LBP and Infamous? Awesome!

US will prolly be the same.

 

[SmithnCo]

So they basically let you rent two games for 30 days?

They specifically say for Plus content, I don't think the games choices are part of that.

 

[WarMacheen]

Dead Nation and Wipeout for me...psp titles undecided.

 

[Conceited]

Dissapointing choices. :\

 

[BattleMonkey]

I hope the US gets the option of MAG free. These are download only games though right? Is MAG downloadable?

 

[Xater]

And if they did nothing you gigantic cry babies would be shouting even more expletives from your ivory towers.

How about at least selecting more current stuff?

 

[SykoTech]

Should have went with any other PS3 Ratchet other than Quest for Booty. Really short and uncreative for the series. Oh well, inFamous get!

 

[f@luS]

when can i download?
r&c / lbp for me

 

[Lince]

already own all of them, they're really good games and basic stuff for your PS3 collection, good move by Sony but hardcore players will be in my same situation. Can I gift them to someone else? I would recommend Infamous and Dead Nation.

 

[Master Milk]

I hope it's different because I don't want any of those.

 

[rainking187]

meh, they could at least let us keep the games.

You do get to keep the games.

 

[TimmiT]

The only game in the PS3 list I don't have is Dead Nation. Don't have any of the PSP games though.
