    WELCOME BACK WELCOME BACK WEEEELLLCOOOOME BAAAAAACK

    My first visit when PSN was back up was not an online game, but my HOME homestead.

    Amazing to see within seemingly minutes of the Northeast being back up HOME was pretty much fully populated in the main central areas that I visited.

    Supposedly full retail games such as Infamous and Little Big Planet are being offered up as part of the Welcome Back program. Pretty strong if you ask me. Still nothing will give back all that down time... I don't think I'll ever use the machine at the level I was again.

    My credit card info was for an expired and cancelled card, lucky me!

    Here's the list from here: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/...north-america/

    PS3 AND PSP owners get some love.

    All PlayStation Network customers can select two PS3 games from the following list. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.

    •Dead Nation
    •inFAMOUS
    •LittleBigPlanet
    •Super Stardust HD
    •Wipeout HD + Fury

    For PSP owners, you will be eligible to download two PSP games from the following list. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.

    •LittleBigPlanet (PSP)
    •ModNation Racers
    •Pursuit Force
    •Killzone Liberation


    I didn't pick up Infamous 1st time out or on the Greatest Hits, but have always been curious so I'll GLADLY take that one, especially with the positive buzz that the sequel is getting in the gaming press test sessions that were happening before and during the outage.

    I wonder if that means owners of both can pick two from each? That would be sweet, and would indeed keep me off the 360 for a week or two.

    I'm pretty sure you get two for each thing that you own.

    And while I know that many won't care, HOME regulars like myself get 100 free virtual items including some personal spaces. I don't have specific details on that but I'm eager to see what they're giving there.

    Ha, I was just showing my partner Home last night. Never was really big on it (if I had a bigger HD, I'd probably be all over it).

    The free games are nice. Not trying to troll or anything, but I was seriously debating whether to keep or sell my PS3 over the events of the last month. The free games give me a reason to keep it. I never tried inFamous, so that will be one. Not sure if I will go for LBP or Wipeout HD.

    So that means if you have a friend or relative with their own PS3, you can get like 4 PS3 games because of the ability to copy to 4 other systems right?

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]

    Similarly, I wonder if people who have used the same console are each eligible for 2 games? My boyfriend and I use the same PS3, but we use separate accounts and we've both made purchases with our own cards.

    That is great news. Now for the PlayStation store to come back up
    and for my first game it was MvC3.

    Dead Nation was pretty awesome. Though InFamous and LBP are fun too.

    Since separate accounts on one PS3 are able to purchase/download/play games on the same console, I see no reason why each separate account on each PS3 won't be able to pick two games from the list of PS3 games offered.

    "all playstation network customers" is the way the text reads and each separate account is a customer.

    Now, PSP on the other hand does not allow for secondary accounts, so it'll likely be the one single account that's activated on the PSP.

    Sony is being extremely generous with this. I'm definitely going to get Wipeout. One question. It says Wipeout HD + Fury. Does that mean we get both together or does each count as a single game?

    Also. With this. Do we get two PS3 games and two PSP games, or just two altogether?
