It was very frustrating going through those tough weeks without the PlayStation Network services. Sony feels our pain an wants to welcome us back with a few interesting goodies.
“This package will be made available to all existing registered PlayStation Network and Qriocity users in North America (US and Canada), and will be made available shortly after we have fully restored the service. More specific details about these offers and eligibility requirements will be posted as the services go live.”
All PS3 registered users will be able to select 2 games from the list below. The games will be available for 30 days briefly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.
- Infamous
- Dead Nation
- WipeOut HD
- Super StarDust HD
- LittleBigPlanet
This also goes for the PSP registered users. You will be able to select 2 of the listed titles below. The games will be available for 30 days briefly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.
- Pursuit Force
- Killzone Liberation
- LittleBigPlanet
- ModNation Racers
A selection of “On Us” rental movie titles will be available to PlayStation Network customers over one weekend, where Video Service is available. Those titles will be announced soon.
30 days free PlayStation Plus membership for non PlayStation Plus subscribers.
Existing PlayStation Plus subscribers will receive an additional 60 days of free subscription.
Existing Music Unlimited Premium Trial subscription members will receive an additional 30 days of free premium subscription.
Additional 30 days + time lost for existing members of Music Unlimited Premium/Basic subscription free of charge for existing Premium/Basic members.
To welcome users Home, PlayStation Home will be offering 100 free virtual items. Additional free content will be released soon, including the next addition to the Home Mansion personal space, and Ooblag’s Alien Casino, an exclusive game.
In my opinion, this makes up for the 3 week outage. We get a safer online experience and free PS content. What more could you ask for?
