In germany, some of these will be replaced with other games because the germans have lots of silly laws about violence and such.

I think thats a bit sh!t... PSN credit would of been better or a free one of download of you choice..

PSN credit would be abused by people with multiple accounts. Sites like Kotaku are already explaining how to exploit this offering in order to get the most expensive combination of offerings. Also, it would no doubt be reported that it's just an evil means of getting people to use PSN Store (when it comes back) and any credit offering would need to be supplemented by additional funds. A detail that would be seen by many as Sony attempting to make money from this scenario.

As for a free download of your choice - you've been given a choice! I can understand why they're not offering you any game. There'd be a huge amount of cost and red-tape to deal with if, for example, they were offering you games from third-party publishers. I think they're offering some good games. A shame that many are quite old as that'll mean a lot of discerning gamers will have played them already. Still, you're never going to please everyone and, at the end of the day, free is free.

Well I think it's great - they didn't have to give non-paying users anything

I still think it's great that Sony are giving us free content. I'm more than happy to just utilise its online functionality again and, most of all, the PlayStation Store when it is enabled.

I do have the first three games in the list there, so the latter two will be my downloads. If nobody has Dead Nation, by the way, I certainly recommend it...

Agree. For one months down time. I'm pretty happy with the Welcome back package!

Sorry but I have to disagree.. what there are doing is wrong. If they can't satisfy all there PSN users with the free content/downloads they shouldn't have any thing to download at all. As a welcome back package. Am I not welcome back, just because I don't have the games the are in the WB pack.
I didn't trade in my PS at the first sign of trouble.

I'm having a hard time parsing your paragraph.

Which piece is wrong? How is it wrong?

Who isn't satisfied? I'm sure there are people who would never be satisfied until they see the blood of Sony execs in the streets. Does that mean they should do nothing just because not everyone will be happy with what they do?

If you don't have the games currently, and are getting them, what's the problem?

Hardly anyone did. The media made a big deal over a tiny portion of the population.

First of, I have no intentions of buying any of the games as they don't appeal to me..

Second, how can it be a welcome back package if am not part of the welcome back package.. I had me PS when the server when down and I still have my PS when the server come back on.

So how can that be welcoming me and others back to the PSN..

That means I have to go buy a fringing game to be part of the welcome back to PSN club..

If they cant welcome back every 1, why bother at all...

You don't need to buy them. Just pick a couple and flag them for download. You get them for free, even if you never end up playing them. And if you do have a slow month, you can go back and try one of those games you got for free. I recommend Infamous if you haven't played it. It's quite fun. So is Super Stardust HD.

So you're concerned about the terminology then?

It's not a "welcome back, you sold your console and now you bought it again" sort of thing.

It's a "Welcome back, we've been down for a month and you haven't been able to visit us, so because we've been down we want to give you these free things to apologize and welcome you back to our now newly-online service."

@Hackiko - just to emphasis what Kaz is saying - the games listed are free, if you don't have them, then download them. You don't have to pay for anything on that list, and you also get PSN+ free for a month!

Sorry, but I don't really get what you're upset about?

Do you get all of them? Or just a pick of one? Is there a use-by date? If so I better log on and get mine

You get 2 of them (Of each category, I believe.)

You have 30 days after next tuesday to tag the ones you want.

Thanks Kaz. So if you have more than one PSN account you can basically get 2 for each? How many of us have a US, Japanese and EU accounts

I imagine they may or may not protect against that. Though, they haven't announced a Japanese compensation package, so it may be completely different.
