My last membership for PSN was **** and now I'm trying to enter a new one but the damn thing is asking for my real name, street address, etc. I ain't giving them crap after the epic fail they performed. Why can't they be like Microsoft and not ask for every little bit of personal information? I friggin hate Sony! That does it! From now on, I'm only buying games that focus mostly on single player for the PS3. No more multiplayer for me on there

I hope this isn't true.

If so, then those 5 old free games is definitely not enough.

K, so like, that's awesome that you guys used spoiler tags even though I'm obviously years behind. I still greatly appreciated it as I would not really have a right to complain.

Anyway, if one of you finds out about the offer becoming real, post it in here as soon as you find out. Seriously, it seems like we are just as upt to date as any other resources I was viewing early yesterday morning. If I find out, I will definitely update this thread.

After a pretty rough month, Sony's PlayStation brand is back on the upswing. The PlayStation Network was out for over three weeks, and Sony promised to make it up to the PlayStation faithful. Now that PlayStation Network functionality has been fully restored as of June 1st, when the PlayStation Store finally returned, Sony has pushed forward its much-anticipated Welcome Back program.

If you're new to the party, you can read the details of Sony's PlayStation Welcome Back program here. Essentially, gamers who had PSN accounts that were created before April 20, 2011 can claim a series of free games. Two PSN games can be chosen from a list of five, and an additional two PSP games can be chosen from a separate list of four.

To access your freebies, simply head to the PlayStation Store. There, at the top of the list on the left side of the Store's front page, you'll see "Welcome Back" clear as day. Click on each of the four "Free Game" icons and claim whatever titles you choose.

The PlayStation Blog has posted a series of clarifications that will answer many gamers' questions about the program. And there are some pretty important details there. For instance, gamers will be able to claim their Welcome Back content between now and July 3rd. Once you download the games, they are yours to keep forever. And remember -- if you didn't have PlayStation Plus, you'll have it now for 30 days. So get in on your PS-Plus-related goodies, but keep in mind that your free PS+ content will disappear after the 30 day trial if you don't renew.

Welcome Back

Q: What’s in the Welcome Back Program?
A: To start, all PSN members who had signed up before the outage (April 20, 2011) will be able to select two games for the PS3 and two games for the PSP systems.

For PS3 owners, go to the ‘Welcome Back’ section in the PlayStation Store, and select 2 titles from the following list:

Dead Nation
inFAMOUS
LittleBigPlanet
Super Stardust HD
Wipeout HD + Fury

For PSP owners, go to the ‘Welcome Back’ section of PlayStation Store on your PSP system and select 2 titles from the following list:

LittleBigPlanet (PSP)
ModNation Racers
Pursuit Force
Killzone Liberation

Select your first game from “Game 1”, then return to the Welcome Back page and go to “Game 2” to select your second game out of the remaining choices available. This goes for both PS3 and PSP.

In addition, we’re giving access to our premium subscription service, PlayStation Plus, which includes games, huge discounts, exciting exclusives and added features like online storage and automatic downloads, to all PSN members for 30 days at no charge, requiring no long term commitment. As with the games above, go to the PlayStation Store and under the ‘Welcome Back’ section, select ‘PlayStation Plus: 30 Days Free’, and you’ll be given access to all of the benefits of PlayStation Plus. Note that this will not auto-renew and simply expires 30 days after activation.

Current Plus subscribers receive an extra 60 days added to their existing subscription at no charge. For current Plus subscribers, no action is needed as the 60 days are automatically added to your subscription.

PlayStation Network users will also get 100 virtual items in PlayStation Home as a show of appreciation for your patience while Home was inaccessible. Additional content is coming soon, including the next addition to the Home Mansion personal space, and Ooblag’s Alien Casino, an exclusive game.

A selection of “On Us” movie rentals are currently available to PlayStation Network customers this weekend only, where Video Service is available.

Finally, current Music Unlimited Premium subscription members will receive an additional 30 days of premium subscription plus days lost due to the outage.

Q: When will I have access to the Welcome Back Program?
A: The content offered as part of the Welcome Back Program is available for download today and will be available through July 3.

Q: I have both PS3 and PSP. Does this mean I will get 4 games all together?
A: Yes, as long as you were a PSN member before April 20, 2011, you’ll be able to receive up to 4 games based on the titles listed above; 2 on each platform.

Q: Are there any limitations to the PS3 and PSP games we are receiving as part of the Welcome Back Program?
A: None. These games are yours to keep.

Q: How long do I have to get into the PlayStation Store and receive my content for Welcome Back?
A: Access to the Welcome Back content will be expiring on July 3. Once this date has passed, the Welcome Back section in the PlayStation Store will be removed.

Q: When does the 30 days of my PlayStation Plus access expire?
A: Your PlayStation Plus 30-day access will expire 30 days from the date you activated it in PlayStation Store.

Q: When will (insert game here) be published?
A: Look forward to posts over the coming days that will show what content will be available at that point, or coming soon. We’re planning frequent store publishes offering lots of new content for everyone to enjoy.

Q: I’m getting 30 days of access to PlayStation Plus; can you refresh my memory on what I get with this service?
A: From the time you activate your 30 days of PlayStation Plus, you’ll be able to download games and game related content, purchase select store items at a discount, and have access to the exclusive features of Plus. You’ll also be able to get early access to any Plus exclusive Demos and priority Beta invitations that might be scheduled during your 30 days.

Q: Do I get to keep the games in PlayStation Plus forever?
A: Content that is free in PlayStation Plus will not be available after your PlayStation Plus time has expired. However, if you decide to join PlayStation Plus, you’ll have access to all of the content you downloaded during your 30 day access for as long as you are a subscriber.

Q: Do I get to keep any games or content I purchased with the PlayStation Plus discount?
A: Yes. Any content you purchase at a discount is yours to keep, regardless of your subscription status.

Q: Aside from the games and discounts; does PlayStation Plus offer anything else?
A: Yes! PlayStation Plus includes the Online Storage for Game Saves feature, allowing you to backup treasured game saves or access them from another PS3. In addition, you get the Automatic Download feature, which automatically updates your 10 most recently played games while the system is in stand-by mode so you don’t have to wait for updates before playing your games.

Q: What content will be in PlayStation Plus when I activate my 30 days?
A: PlayStation Plus content and discounts are regularly updated throughout the month. For up-to-date information on content within PlayStation Plus, please visit the Plus homepage.

Q: Where can I find the Welcome Back content in Home?
A: The 100 virtual items can be found in the kiosk in Home’s Central Plaza along with two personal spaces – Dragon’s Lair and the Mansion Garage. A new game – Ooblag’s Alien Casino – will be released soon (June 2011). This game will be 100% free-to-play. As an added bonus, players that access the Ooblag Alien Casino space will be rewarded an active item version of the Ooblag game that can be played in your personal space(s).

Man, the PlayStation is such a piece of garbage, I don't even know how they sell any.

So I go to the welcome back offer to download some sweet games and am delighted to see I can get inFamous, so I click on that, and it tells me I have to download 7 GB, I'm like, "sure that'll be fine, I haven't downloaded anything else" like an idiot, so it tells me "**** no, you don't have no space", I'm like "say what?" and look around what's taking up space. So I see, it's the five games I own that the PlayStation forced me to install instead of playing it from the disc, like a real console (XBox 360), so I'm like, okay, well I kinda want to play those games too, but sure I can delete some, will be fine, so I do that, and go back to the store, so now I go to the Welcome Back thing and it doesn't show me the games anymore, which is odd since at most I chose one game so far, so I look around and luckily inFamous is in the download cue still, so i download that, but the other game is nowhere to be found, and that's where I am stuck right now. Will try the suggestion in this thread. Seriously though, only five games at a time? Ridiculous? I think so.

Really wish Sony would go and design something that's not a piece of garbage, that'd be nice. Maybe steal some ideas from Microsoft or Apple...heck taking ideas from the a dog turd on the street might be a step up.

Easy fix. Go to account management.

There's a link somewhere on the internet.

But I had to go to account management and manage the special offers and reselect it to go back to finish toe special offers.

Also, you must FIRST purchase "game 1" to download game 1.

You then download game 1.

Then you must purchase game 2 to download game 2. Then you download it.



If I were on Skype, you could just call. I had both the problem you had and the other one. It was fun!

Yesterday, German website Konsolentreff published early photos of the Resistance 3 PS3 bundle box showing a new logo that says "PSN Pass."

The message read: "Network features only available in countries that have PlayStation Store." However, no other details were provided.

SCEA responded to requests for comment this morning to clarify, saying this program requires customers to input a one-time use code to access a game's online capabilities, similar to EA's Online Pass introduced last year.

"We are always evaluating new programs for our online offering, and starting with Resistance 3 this September, we will be instituting a network pass program for PS3 games with online capabilities," the spokesperson said. "This program will be game-specific. Games that are a part of this program will include a single-use registration code that grants the account holder redeeming the code full online access for that title.

"This is an important initiative as it allows us to accelerate our commitment to enhancing premium online services across our first party game portfolio."

If you don't have a code to input, say if you purchase the game used, you'll have to buy one through the Store. It's unclear how much one of these PSN Pass codes will cost, however.

Sony said it will announce additional details at a later date.
