PlayStation Network is mostly back but the PlayStation Store is not; Sony's still working out the kinks there. In the meantime, it looks like we're about to learn how Sony's proposing to gain back our trust with free stuff.
PlayStation Blog has published a list of what content will be part of the "Welcome Back" program when the PlayStation Store is back up.
In other words: what free PlayStation 3 and PSP games are up for grabs? You'll get to download two PS3 and two PSP games, so four in total.
The games are mostly on the older side but it's a nice lineup:
PlayStation 3
PSP
The lineup's a little bit different in Europe:
PlayStation 3
- LittleBigPlanet
- Infamous*
- Wipeout HD/Fury
- Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
- Dead Nation*
PSP
- LittleBigPlanet PSP
- ModNation PSP
- Pursuit Force*
- Killzone Liberation*
Asterisks can be a scary thing, but in this case, it's only scary if you're from Germany, where Sony's swapping those games for a few others, most likely due to the country's stringent content restrictions. inFamous and Dead Nation are placed with Super Stardust HD and Hustle Kings, while Killzone Liberation and Pursuit Force transform into Everybody's Golf 2 and Buzz! Junior Jungle Party.
As already announced, you'll also gain access to 30 days of PlayStation Plus. Existing members will simply receive an additional month. Sony will also have a lineup of "On Us" movies available to watch, too. If the lineup of games available is anything like the movies, it's reasonable to expect Sony-produced flicks.
PlayStation Home users are in for something, too, though Sony isn't saying what.
It's worth pointing out again that this lineup is for European customers and could differ in the US.

Edit: you were quicker than me; damn youuuu.
Same, ah well. Its good that PSN is back. They better have the store working by Friday. I want to enter my codes for LA Noire.
Same here cuz I got the rest... Except for Quest for Booty which would have been nice.
You'd already be able to get that for free anyway with your free 30 days of PS+ membership that goes along with. You'd lose it once it's up, mind you, but it's enough time for me to side with LBP and that small Ratchet and Clank download instead.
