  • Welcome Back Program Goes Live - Select Your Two Free Games

    Do you like free outdated titles, of which you probably already own? Well, Sony thought you might and today the "Welcome Back" program has gone live. The program is Sony's form of apology for the excessive amount of PSN downtime last month. The program allows you to choose two of the following titles, of which you'll get to keep for free: Dead Nation, InFAMOUS, LittleBigPlanet, Super Stardust HD, or WipEout HD Bundle.

    Attachment 1267


    In addition, you will be able to download two PSP games from the following list: Killzone: Liberation, ModNation Racers, LittleBigPlanet, or Pursuit Force. You will also now be able to sign up for your 30 days of free PlayStation Plus and you will have the opportunity to receive 100 free virtual PlayStation Home items.

      Had that dude you known been at least half way intelligent, he could have read the instructions to check out properly. Oh well, not everyone can be half way smart.

      Here's a stat for you.... 99% of all phrases that start out, "I know this guy.....", are all lies.

      Lol. So true. And i am happy with the games I am getting. I don't those games. So cheers to Sony. O and any account that was created before the shutdown of the network can be entitled to the free games as well. So 3 accounts means 6 free games. tested this and working. Getting ratchet and clank for my europe account. And infamous for the other.

      i'm in total agreement. sony can go and F U C K itself. or as per usual, let some random hackers do it for them.

      as for infamous 2... usenet is your best friend for anything you want.

      I went to get my free games, made my choices and the system kicked me out 80710D36.
      When I was able to finally get back in the games that I chose disappeared.
      There is no longer anything available to choose from in the Welcome Back program on PSN.
      They don't show up in account management on the PS3, so they were never associated with my PSN account.

      yea i had the same problem but dont worry you will get your games

      Go to the PSN tab in XMB -> Accoutn management -> Transaction Management -> Services List -> Welcomeback PS3 game or similar

      If you get 80710D36 just retry it. After 4-5 tries it will work

      Wow. After Sony's catastrophic FAIL, not encrypting users info, PSN being down, this is what they welcome back their faithful users with. I hope that whomever is hacking Sony does it again because of this so called "Welcome back offers."

      As ISOHaven explained, people don't read, yes the store is back up.. But as you can tell due to high users there's a lot of traffic. Meaning, wait at least a week before you take advantage of the free products they didn't have to do in the first place.

      Well for one, if it's F uck sony.. don't use their products. Two, if you don't like their security and encryption, don't use their online services, seeing as their main objective was no mass production of CFW above 3.55, their doing a great job. Three, even though their security does blow. If it was your company being Fu cked with especially with certain things their hiding, you would do the same.

      Lastly, besides the ****** security for a free service they provide. Their products are actually good. Go grab a xbox and stop B1tching. Lesson learned from all this, don't use personal information period. If you wanna grab something from the store, be smart and just buy the PSN cards, sheesh. Even though stuff that was recently hacked and stolen is information not meant to be protected, meaning they were meant to find it.

      perfect example, I never, ever use my personal info. on any site. The most you`ll get is a IP address from a place I don't even live at (regardless if you get the main ISP).

      Thanks for that tip, i lost out on 2 extra free games because of that :P

      Had 2 PSN names = 4/5 free games incase anyone was curious.

      Nah you're wrong. There offering outdated games. But I guess being a brainwashed fanboy is your job.

      LMFAO, Yea I wouldn't have bought my MGS4 shitstation 3 bundle in 08 if I knew Linux was going to be eliminated out of it in 2010 ... too late now to return it since, ohh I dunno, THE WARRANTY AND RETURN DATE IS UP YOU STUPID F*CKTARD. Now the only thing holding the value to it since it's hard to sell this P.O.S today is I pirate the sh*t out of games as a way of getting compensation for Sony being big bad bully brother taking linux away even if it was free and hacked and could have been re-secured with a patch update. And talk about sh*t security, customer info in basic text ?!?!? WTF are they thinking leaving millions of customers info in basic sh*t text ?!?!? They should be ashamed of themselves for that as a cheap a$$ billion dollar corp... I will never buy a Sony product again in my life and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm so happy your own country decided not to flip psn back on even when you got hacked again Sony.
