Well, that's what Sony said was supposed to be the case when they came back online. It was part of their security measures to make sure that hackers wern't changing your password. Guess it was wrong.

This is pretty much just an exercise in frustration. Left my PS3 on all night and after about 14 hours of downloading, it reached 80% complete and then gave me an error message that my connection timed out. My PSP's download timed out at as well after the same amount of time and reaching 95%.

:mad2:

Ok, found this on sony's forum:



Edit: Just did it now, and it looks like I'm good to go. :)

Thank you for the info. I had this happen to me.

I just downloaded dead nation and wipeout. I have another account and will probably download super stardust.

They don't. When you click on one, it asks if you want to transfer it to a PSP.

Got my free games yesterday. I did have some error while trying to download but was able to get them both without any major problem.

I'd get the error code too, but I just kept going back and forth and it would eventual let me into the store after maybe 5 or 6 tries.

What games are most people getting? Are you going more for value and getting the full retail games, or choosing based on what looks fun.

I'm looking at Super Stardust because I love Geometry Wars. I also want Dead Nation, but it seems that the general feeling is that DN is the weakest game of the bunch. I watched and read reviews of all the other stuff but at this point I just don't know. I already have LBP. I know Infamous is supposed to be great. And WipeOut seems to be the biggest bang for your buck. Anyone have experiences with these games or reason why I should choose one over another?

Just wanting to get the most enjoyment out of the opportunity PS has given us.

I don't know who you're talking to, but dead nation is amazing.

Infamous is pretty great, probably the most bang-for-your-"buck" out of the games offered, with Wipeout being right behind that. The other games are good in an arcadie sort of way, but they just don't have the amount of content as those two, which are full, robust complete games.

Is there any catch with the free month of PSN+? Like, will it automatically bill me after the month ends?

No you will not be billed.

I got LBP & Dead Nation. I used to have Infamous, so I didnt need that, and i had no interest in Starburst. I was torn between Wipeout & Dead Nation, but like Zombies better.

I'm having a problem and I hope someone can help me. I downloaded my first free PS3 game just now. After it finished and instated, I was going to download the second one but now I can't find the list of games anymore.

I went to services list and it shows the SCEA Promotion. I enter it and it shows Welcome back: Free PS3 Game 1 and that's it. It doesn't show a listing for game 2 anywhere. Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong? Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind, I found it.

Got InFAMOUS and Dead Nation on my account, Ratchet and Clank on my UK account, and LBP and Mod Nation for my PSP. I highly recommend InFAMOUS, especially since your save game will carry over to the 2nd one. I've already played it, but I traded the game and still have some trophies to unlock, so I figured I would get it again.

I downloaded inFamous and started playing from where I left off a couple of years ago. Great game indeed.

Deftones 06-04-11 08:22 PM

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 
Definitely picking up inFamous. not sure about the other game yet, though. leaning towards LBP or Wipeout.

I went with Infamous (which I had on disc, finished, and sold a while back) and Wipeout HD (had the main game already but not the Fury add-on) for the PS3 games. Then I got Killzone Liberation (another "owned it, beat it, sold it" situation) and Modnation Racers.

I'm playing through Infamous again, going evil this time. Going back to the original has really given me more appreciation for the sequel, which looks much better, especially in the animation department.

Just as an update, after letting the full game trial of Infamous run for an hour, it finally popped up as a free welcome back option. Seems like I'm the only one on the internet affected by this, but just in case it happens to someone else, there it is.

Once Sony puts the "Other OS" option back in, then it will end.
