Now that some PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been restored and you’re once again enjoying online gaming and entertainment, we’re happy to provide details about the “Welcome Back” appreciation program for customers in North America. We developed the program as an expression of our gratitude for your patience, support and continued loyalty during the service outage. From all of us at PlayStation, thank you and welcome back!

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.

Thank you again for your support!

2 free PS3 and PSP games. Free playstation plus (it has good discounts, yo). Some other free bullshit.

Worth it considering nobody's done shit with my credit card.

Nicely done. Me and Bayli might use her PS3 for something other than blu-rays and PS1 games!

I can't wait for them to brag about how secure the PSN is at E3 now. They'll play it off like it was an upgrade or something.

[Travis]

I already have most of those PS3 games up there. I wonder why they don't have modnation racers for ps3 up there, I'd get that in a heartbeat if it was one of the choices.

Hmmmm.

[rman]

Not bad considering infamous and LBP are on the list.....but then again, they were 2 of the bigger games and most PS3 owners will already have had them by now.

[Bayli]

I've always wanted to play infamous! And Dead Nation!

THANK U SONY FOR GETTIN UR SHIT FUCKED

[SuperAfroBoy]

I should get a free PS3 for the inconceivable trauma that I have endured as a direct result of the PSN breach!

[Greg412]

So this is awesome except, the playstation store is still down...:sadface:

[Patrick]

One of the reasons that infamous is on that list is to max sales for infamous 2 when it comes out soon. Hopefully the store is up by the 31st, I got shits to buy!

[Bayli]

I agree. I want my FREE GAMES

[Patrick]

Ok this is bullshit! The games are up! But when I downloaded my free game 1 pack I got a shit ton of errors and didn't give me anything and now it's gone from the store like I used it. I'm out a free game and there will be blood if I do not get it.

[Logan]

I think bayli knows a work around.

Bottom line though is...

Psn =

[Bayli]

Patrick! The same thing happened to me.

Account Management -> Transaction Management -> Services List

then it should let you choose from there! That's what worked for me, anyway.

[Patrick]

OMG thanks! i'm gonna get dead nation and one of those shitty fake games as well since i've already played lbp and infamous

[Bayli]

You're welcome! I hope it helps! And I'm getting Dead Nation, too! Also inFamous because I never got a chance to play it!
