    @Punk1984: Like I said, I already own it (I even have the Platinum trophy for it). Not much of a point in getting a second copy.

    thats the point. Offer stuff that most people already own or the select few that don't, wouldn't have bought anyway. Sony still gets to say they made good on the situation without really doing anything for many/most of its users.

    I don't own a PSP but I've been meaning to get one since the price drop. Could I still download the games on my PS3 and move them to my PSP once I buy it?

    So, would accepting this offer preclude us from any legal action against them, or taking part in a class-action?

    Hmm, I was hoping for a better list. I already have inFamous and LBP. I had Wipeout HD for a month on Playstation Plus and didn't love it. I wish Super Stardust HD was available for EU users too.

    I guess I'll go with Ratchet and Clank and inFamous and trade in my disc copy.

    This is a really weak list. Free is free sure, but if they wanted to REALLY make good, they'd offer something a bit more. . . or at least, a larger library.


    inFamous, Wipeout and Stardust are 3 games that are by gaming standards, old and while they're good games, anyone who owns and plays PS3 would more than likely have played them already as they used to be marquee titles.

    Little Big Planet is NOT Little Big Planet 2. This is the most offensive one in my opinion since they're offering more than just an old game, but an outdated and now obsolete game since LBP2 is out. And again, more than likely, most gamers would either already own LBP2 or have at least played one of the two.

    Dead Nation is prolly the only real game that people haven't really played, but that's because it's just not as good as the others in this list. Personally, I'm not getting anything out of this since I own all of these cept for inFamous and LBP which I sold off.

    Free is free. I understand this and I'm not trolling or havin an over-entitlement fit or anything like that. I'm just sayin that if SONY really wanted to try to make good, and this is the best they could come up with, that's just sad. The kicker is, they are letting you get 2 of them. 2 out of 5 games that you've prolly already played if you're on this site -_-;; In my opinion, I'd take like $20 PSN credit over this. At least that way, they could have spread the love around to some of the developers that got hurt over this, and gives the players more options. Just sayin.

    meh.  That is a pretty meager peace offering.  I would have preferred something along the lines of each account gets 1 free download of any game in the store.

    @xaveri: You could but if you don't have a PSP by now there really isn't much of a point in buying one IMHO. But you should still "buy" the games regardless so the're on you account.

    The lack of M.A.G. seems like a big oversight. I'm sure that game isn't doing too well anymore and giving it for free would help get people to use their PS3 online again.

    WOW I did not realize what STUPID high expectations people had for this FREE content offer. you don't get shit for free these days i was really happy that for one, these games are decent and two, you get to keep them forever and three, everyone gets TWO PS3 and TWO PSP games.

    so far we don't even know if this attack was sony's fault shit gets hacked, i had other accounts hacked in my life and you know what i got for it... not a damn thing.

    Sony's response time was a little off but 4 free games for something that was not there fault is pretty good compensation.

    Exactly.  This is a wonderful gesture on the part of Sony.  I never had any CC info saved to PSN in the first place, but I've ended up with some free games, and other miscellaneous stuff.  Works for me!

    Dead Nation and Infamous it is then, I have all the others (and I've played through all of Infamous, which I nearly bought recently as it is). Oh and I have a PSP on a shelf somewhere don't I, well then, any of those PSP ones are good, but LBP is a standout there I suppose.

    The problem with this stuff is that the most loyal PS3 fans are fecked, since they most likely own most of these (all the good ones anyway).

    Free games because a free service was down a few weeks and incessant whining, bitching and complaining.


    If one is pissed because of the data leak I get it... but these comments... they're only whining about getting free games because a service they didn't pay for in the first place went down.

    That's it, internet.  You win.

    wow... well I guess they covered the "casual PSN-user that doesn't really care for PSN Plus but is still affected by the outage" category. That shows me. I can't wait to finally get the chance to play LBP and inFamous for myself.
