    So if I eventually get a PS3, will those games still be free? Those are like 3/4s of the games I would buy if I would buy a PS3 (which is also the reason I wouldn't because 4 games are not worth a 300 dollar investment to me.)

    Wow! I did not expect full retail games! I really thought they were going to give the crappiest and cheapest games on PSN. Well done sony!

    And seriously, people need to stop complaining. those are AAA games. Regardless that they were released a year or 2 ago, they're worth picking up (the PS3 lineup at least). I will say that I would have rather credit for the PSN store but that's about it.

    I was gonna get LBP2, but if I get the first for free, might as well get that. Also, trying to decide between wipeout or dead nation....
    Even though I've never played Dead Nation, I would still have to urge you to download Wipeout HD. Especially with the Fury add-on. It's my most-played PSN game.

    I play pretty such exclusively on my 360, so I was lucky enough to not be affected, but still get free stuff. I'll probably download inFamous and LBP.

    Not a bad list. I haven't picked up a couple of those so these are welcome freebies. I'll probably be grabbing Dead Nation, Wipeout+Fury, LBP(PSP), Modnation Racers (PSP), the 100 free Home items ( I mean why not, it's free) and see what  free movie rentals they have in the 'On us' section.


    Not amazing, but not bad considering I expected nothing. It's unfortunate for those who already own all of the games but at least you'll still get free PS+ games I suppose.

    I bought Infamous last Thursday.  Of course that was because it was $10, but it only goes to show how lame this peace offering is.

    why not just give people like what, 50 bucks? thats about what 2 of those old ps3 and psp games would cost, and then just put a bunch of games (ie, those on the list) on sale and let people decide what they want. because this kinda sucks if youve had a ps3 (and/or psp) for years and you own all of those games already, but its great for newer owners who might have missed them. i just want the store back to get outland :(

    @Enigma777: Its kind of illogical, right?  The most loyal PS3 users get the least rewarded : )  I'm the same way, pretty much own everything up there.  I'll try not to be ungrateful though- wouldn't mind having infamous on the hard drive ready to play anytime

    Only one of those I don't own On the PS3 is Dead Nation. I guess Imfamous since I sold it a while back and regret it. As for the other.... I guess Dead Nation. PSP Modnation and LBP are cool for me.

    I have 3 of the 5 games so Dead Nation and Wipeout are my new games. Dead Nation will likely end up like most of my PS+ games. Downloaded but never played. I'm sure I know people who have all 5 of the games though and I feel bad for them.

    Not bad, I own a few of them but I think I'll checkout Wipeout and LittleBigPlanet maybe.  I'm also really still thinking about buying a PSP and might check out those as well.

    While I'm happy to be able to play Infamous for "free," I think the list from which we can choose should have been significantly larger. I feel that the people most affected by the PSN downtime will own most, if not all, of the games being offered. Something as simple as "pick any two games available on the PSN store as of [date on which the store comes online], no questions asked," seems like it could have worked, ignoring the logistics of how Sony would know to interpret each transaction. You know...since online infrastructure isn't their strongest suit.

    Ok, help me out guys...

     I know I want to try Dead Nation, but what other PS3 game should I get?  I've already played Infamous and I have LBP2.  Is LBP 1 different enough to be worth it, or should I go with Wipeout or Super Stardust?

    Well I own all of those except for Dead Nation so at least that will be new for me. Knew it wouldn't happen but was hoping for Mass Effect 2. Would have like to see ModNation for PS3 up there as well since I only borrowed that from a friend for a few days.

    It's kind of funny that the most loyal customers are getting screwed over because they already own most of these games while people who rarely play their PS3 get a good selection.

    @filthreaper: I'm with you on having a PSN credit to choose which games I want to download. Having a list of games to choose from that include games I've already played or already own is really pointless. 

    30 days of free PS+ isn't enticing enough for me to even dip my toe in. I would've rather had 90 days of free service to become more acclimated and dependent on the service to give a damn.

    In terms of data on disc, are LBP and Infamous relatively small games? FFS, I've got a 60 GB launch unit with a lot of crap on the HD (including Wipeout and Super Stardust). I don't have room for a 20 GB game, even a free one.

    I would have been happier if they had offered nothing rather than that list.  This is the list you expect when a company doesn't want to spend any money.  It's mostly hugely popular stuff that has sold jillions of copies and is now cheap.  It's transparent and doesn't feel like a gift.  It feels like the least they think they can get away with.

    inFamous is $10 LBP (w/o GOTY DLC (w00t for abbreviations)) is probably close to the same.
