Ricardo Trejo
Let’s cut to the chase; You’re a PSN user and your free service was shut off for 3 weeks. You are angry and you want to be comensated for the wasted hours you could’ve been using to waste your life on a video game online. It makes sense to Sony, so with the return of the PSN they’ve decided to go ahead with their promised “Welcome Back” package, otherwise now known as their “Customer Appreciation” program. What games and services will you get free?
As soon as the Playstation Store is live (which it isn’t right now as of writing this post), customers will be have access to the following freebies and offers:
All PlayStation Network customers can select two PS3 games from the following list. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.
- Dead Nation
- inFAMOUS
- LittleBigPlanet
- Super Stardust HD (EU users get Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty)
- Wipeout HD + Fury
For PSP owners, you will be eligible to download two PSP games from the following list. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.
- LittleBigPlanet (PSP)
- ModNation Racers
- Pursuit Force
- Killzone Liberation
- 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.
So there you have it, if you’re a PSN user that owns both a PS3 and PSP then you’ll be in store for 4 full, free games. While Sony could’ve better handled the situation it looks like they’ve learned their lesson and are trying to win back the love and affection of their userbase. PSN should get hacked more often it reaps rewards this big for customers!
