Sony PSN back up

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

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?

While it's not 100% clear via the wording on the PSN blog, the statement that Nick Caplan of Sony Europe made to Kotaku's reporters is clearer.

If you have a PS3 and a PSP it's a total of four free games.

"Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's head of communications Nick Caplan writes today that PSN users will get up to four free games for the PS3 and PSP from a select list. PlayStation Network account holders will be able to claim them from the PlayStation Store when that goes live—"just a little while longer," Caplan writes—provided they have access to the Store in their country."

Thanks. I started reading the other messages too. I guess I should have read first since you already answered this question in reply to Kid Ice.

I'll get Wipeout. Which is the best of the rest?

I'd agree with Oobgarm and say Dead Nation, then Infamous afterwards. I haven't played Super Stardust HD but I'll be getting it over LBP. My friend is getting LBP, so I'll get it anyways through gamesharing, but I didn't like the game much at all. I'm a fan of platformers and this one was extremely overrated.

lol fuckkkkkk mannnn, i knew this was going to fucking happen to me, i already have all those games minus super stardust



what a gyp

Dead Nation, LittleBigPlanet and Wipeout HD don't interest me. inFAMOUS I was planing on buying when it got cheaper anyway and I liked the Super Stardust HD demo when I played it a year ago.

Although, I'm a tad more interested in the free games I'll be playing for a month via PSN+.

I have a PSP (no PS3), and out of the four games, I'll pick up LittleBigPlanet and Modnation Racers, since Killzone Liberation and Pursuit Force don't interest me. I wish that Sony had offered the first LocoRoco as one of the choices, since it still sells for a high price compared to LocoRoco 2.

I'll probably download Wipeout and InFamous. Kudos to Sony for making this right (for the most part), and kudos to Microsoft for setting the precedent.

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

I'll probably get Dead Nation and InFamous for PS3, and Mod Nation Racers and LBP for PSP.

[MarioMania]

How do I get the 2 games??

I'm on my PS3 now

When the store is back up they'll be available for 30 days.

[Overbite]

I already own LBP, Infamous, and Wipeout so the only ones I can get are Dead Nation and Super Stardust. Oh well, still free games

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

Woohoo the UK Playstation site is back up, I can finally update my portable ID (w/recent games played) !

The US site seriously needs to add those. As much as I love the UK ... it's kind of silly for that to be the only Playstation site that has them.

Booo. I was really hoping they'd go with all DL games, not ones with physical releases. I either have or have no interest in EVERY title they're offering. Blech. I'll probably DL stuff just to toss it on my account, but I might not even bother....

VERY disappointed. The PSP lineup especially is pretty crappy.

[JSoup]

Looks like the ability to update or otherwise look at portable IDs is back on the US site.

I'm in the same boat. The only game on that list that I'd be interested in is Infamous but I got that for $10 during a black friday sale last year. I could care less about the other ones. I wish they would have offered downloads of Resistence 1 and 2. I would have even took MAG over the rest of those. And based on the game titles they chose I don't have very high hopes for the movies they are going to pick for us to rent out free over the weekend.

Back down again.

For the sake of clarification for those who don't click through to read the article, anybody who changed their account password already will still be able to log in to the PSN on their PS3 or PSP to play games online, etc.

They've shut down all of the web-based services that would give people access to change PSN password/user information.

From the article:

Sony also reiterated that only the login site is down and not the entire PSN in a tweet, “Clarification: this maintenance doesn’t affect PSN on consoles, only the website you click through to from the password change email.”

That said, “[users] will still be able to sign into PSN via your PlayStation 3 and PSP devices to connect to game services and view Trophy/Friends information,” according to Sony.

Actually it's only the website that has been taken down, you can still get on the PSN via the PS3 and PSP just fine.

edit: Frankie beat me to it, albeit much more detailed.

[Oobgarm]

Might not be a bad idea to follow the advice of creating an email specifically for PSN stuff.
