I even tried the website us.playstation.com and says the same thing, an email has been sent. It says it may take 24 hours so I'll wait another 6 hours and see.

Check the spam filters on your email account too, in case you haven't.

I think people are going a little overboard with all of this. Data is data and it can be compromised if someone wants it bad enough.

I guess political grand-standing is not limited to US politicians...

I signed in without the need of an e-mail sent to me. I just changed my password. What I don't see is a a free PSN+ promo that was promised.

Well, there's no "PSN Store" yet, right? Just "PSN Gaming"?

True but there is that online storage thing for game saves that I'm itching to try out.

Europe's free games offer for psn welcome back pack

http://kotaku.com/5802411/sony-says-...bies-in-europe


Here's whats on offer. Two PlayStation 3 games from the following list:

LittleBigPlanet
Infamous
Wipeout HD/Fury
Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
Dead Nation
And two PSP games from the following list.

LittleBigPlanet PSP
ModNation Racers PSP
Pursuit Force

Awesome, i hope ours is as good.

edit. I wonder what we are getting in place of little big planet since you can't buy LBP in the us on the ps store. Modnation racers since it's a playstation made game probably?

I'm sure there are people that already own all the games offered (I have all but one) - what about them?

Decker 05-16-11 03:55 PM

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 
Yup. I already own ALL those PS3 games. Will be less than thrilled if those end up being my choices.

RocShemp 05-16-11 03:57 PM

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 
Tthe only two I care about are Infamous and Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty. And I already have Infamous. :shrug:

I have every game on there except for Pursuit Force, and there's probably a good reason I didn't get that one...

If those are the US offerings, I would get Infamous and R&C because I own the others already.

Wouldn't it have made more sense and been cheaper just to give everyone a set credit so they could pick their own stuff?

I hope we get Super Stardust HD. I only download just the demo but definetly pick it up for free.

dsa_shea 05-16-11 04:04 PM

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 
Can we get our free games in disc format? Screw that if we have to download full length titles.

Good on them for actually valuing their paying customers more than shitheads like me :up:

There it is. This addresses my original complaint.

Good thing I still had my account from 2006. Gonna get Dead Nation and Ratchet.

Oh, I'm sure it'll be downloadable only titles. Much easier to distribute that way. Besides, if you didn't have internet or a PSN account, you don't really have a reason to be upset about the outage, right?

BTW : Infamous is great. If I were forced to pick from games I already have, I would go for that as it would be nice to have on the HDD. I bet it takes a week to download, though.

If you are a PS3 and PSP owner, do you get games for both systems?

My the wording on the European one, I believe so

At least there are two PSP games I don't yet have (ModNation and Pursuit Force).

I do have all those PSN games (and agonized about buying Dead Nation, waiting until the very last day of the sale before pulling the trigger -- dammit). But I gameshared Super Stardust, so at least I'll get my own copy now. Why the hell are they giving away the $15 WipEout HD along with the $10 DLC Fury, but not including any of $10 Super Stardust's DLC which altogether is less than $10? That's disappointing.

If nothing else, Dead Nation's online community is about to BLOW UP

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 
That's pretty big. Even though I have most of those games, it'll be a nice backup in case I want to dump a disc. (i've also really been wanting modnation for the psp, so it works out great!)

I wonder what they're going to be offering hongkongtlwizard.
