But I can't find the bit about getting the free games.

None of the "Welcome Back" package is up yet. Other forums suggested there would be another update Friday to add the content.
Yes, that is correct. The free game offer is not available yet.
I DID finally manage to DL all that DA II content from purchasing the LE. Now I can finally play the game with all the bells and whistles I went out of my way to pay for.
I will tell you what. Fuck EA for forcing me to jump through three billion hoops to get the content. All they should have required of me was to link my PSN account to the Bioware or EA page and put in my PSN code to get the content. Instead, I have to go to their site, log in, register the game, jump through flaming hoops and outrun a hurricane on a plane with John Cusack to get the lewtz. And I see that there are other things you can get by playing the demo. Really?
So when I get home tonight, guess I'm DLing the demo to get the pimp claymore. Maybe it'll be different from the main game, like a 'prologue' that won't bore me to tears or something.
Messed around with it last night.
It seems Faster/Snappier to me.
The Game Store worked fine, I downloaded the motorstorm apocalypse demo.
I didn't see any updated graphics. (Ie June this... that... mostly still old stuff)
And the video store was very spotty and kept giving me errors.
Glad to have it back, now give us our welcome back packages!
Oh man... I can imagine what a shitload of Bandwidth thats going to take...
quite a respectable update too, I didn't even know a new sega rally game was coming out! awesome. And finally we get some of the PC engine ports that have been up in the japan store for like years now lol.
I got Arcana Heart 3 finally. I'll check out the rest of the new stuff later.
I imagine when the free games go online, they're going to be pummeled with downloads. It would probably cost them less to just bulk mail games out to people (please allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery). People would likely be happier with discs too. Oh well. I still don't know what I'm even going to download for free. The game selection was pretty weak. Not that I really feel I'm entitled to anything. Other than the hassle of having to cancel my card, and my inbox being bombarded with spam, they really didn't cost me anything. Still, the gesture would have been nicer with a few newer titles (Mod Nation Racers for PS3, for instance, would have made me a lot happier than inFAMOUS and Little Big Planet 1).
GOD. DAMMIT. Everytime I hear that the store is back up or something, the fucking server goes down for maintenance. It's down right now.
Been trying to change my password for like a month.
At this point... You should figure they're going out of their way to screw with you.Quote:

Nice,
so more free credit card numbers to steal ?
If I hear that the server is up one more time and I try it and it gives me the maintenance message... I'm calling customer service and having them cancel my account.Quote:

Gib fwee gaymz nauo!
Downloaded some demos today from PSN.
Definitely seems a lot faster to me.
Gonna try out Wizardry and Might and Magic. May they not disappoint me.
So um....it says we can download our stuff but I keep getting this 80711008 error every time I attempt to download game 1.
Think my little brother has been having the same problem too.
Yeah, PSN is bullshit. It's not working at all for me either.Quote:

Now the whole store is down. :(
I imagine it's because everyone is trying to get on at once.
Q: I no longer have the option to choose my free Welcome Back games. What can I do?
A: If you navigate away from the Welcome Back section of the store without choosing your free games or exit the store completely you may need to follow the below in order to choose and download your free games.
On your PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Portable navigate to the PlayStation Network icon on the XMB
Log into your PlayStation Network account and choose Account Management > Transaction Management > Services List
Choose “PlayStation Network Promotions” from the list of services displayed
Select either “PS3 Free Games” or “PSP Free Games” and then choose “Select Content”
You will be taken to the store to choose your remaining free games.
managed to sneak in and download dead nation but yeah I don't think I will mess with it anymore for a bit, too tedious with the errors.
I downloaded the Wizardry demo yesterday and it was faster than I remember PSN Store downloads being in the past. Maybe we'll get a faster infrastructure out of all this mess.
Also, I'm using prepaid cards from now on. Not giving Sony my credit card details ever again.
Got my stuff. Thanks, T.A.P. ♥
Yeah, errors and stuff pop up but you just gotta keep trying.
Woo I can finally download the new Zen Pinball table (using a pre-paid card) that was supposed to be released during this whole fiasco.
Cool, the free shit's up.
Come end of the work day, here I come Infamous and LBP!
Gonna have to look at the free PSP games.
Thanks for the Q&A, T.A.P.
No problem, although Kickin|wiNg deserves the credit, since he's the one that told me about it.
I thank him, too!
I'm gonna try to get it in when it's less busy. When I go into the services lists I don't get Playstation Service Promotions. Just PSN+ and Wipeout show
Shits highly buggy right now, errors up the ass.
I got my Mortal Kombat online pass, the free shit can wait until everyone else is done.
yeah, you've got around a month to get this stuff, so there's no need to hurry.
I was actually able to sneak in a download for Dead Nation.
Has anyone with both a US and UK account been able to download the games offered for each region?
What the fuck. I went to DL Wipeout, got a general error message, and now the Download PS3 Game 1 option is gone. Wipeout is NOT in my DL history. Fuck you Sony.
goto your account settings> transaction management> services list>SCEA promotions (or something like that)
there you can download whatever.
Just keep backing in and out thats what I had to do just to get Dead Nation and Wipeout. 400 minutes left till download is complete.Quote:

The PS3 is fine though.
That's really weird man, I just changed the password to a account of mine today and it was fine. Maybe you should contact support.
Grabbed my free games. Little Big Planet, both versions, Mod Nation Racers PSP, and InFamous. I had no idea the PS3 version of LBP was only 2 gigabytes, I thought it would be bigger...
Thanks for the help.Quote:

Wanted to pass on a semi related note, quickly.
So if you play the Dragon Age II demo, it unlocks a weapon for use in the full version of the game. It's the only way to get the weapon, a pretty decent great sword.
The demo was only up until 5/3/11, a long known take down date.
I'd been wanting to DL it but couldn't because PSN went down.
So when it came back up, the demo (and therefore the sword) wasn't available.
So I e-mailed Bioware's customer support about it, saying I shouldn't be penalized just because someone hacked Sony.
Bioware responded by giving me a code unlocking the weapon, and said they agreed. I didn't need to play the demo, either. They just gave me the sword.
Total class move by Bioware.
O X O X, shit error... O X O X, success... and some PSP games without owning a PSP... might as well get one now... and done! Free shit!
got my games, dead nation isn't the best. neither is infamous. but what can you do? didn't pay for it. also got my month of PSN plus. not a bad deal really.
Was getting a ton of errors before work this morning.
Anyone get the Duke Nukem Forever demo? I can't seem to find it in the store anywhere.
Duke Nukem demo is only available to First Access club members.
So far I managed to get PSN+ for my main account and InFamous from my alternate. I'm gonna wait until PSN gets less buggy to get the rest of the games.
Over five hours...infamous download completed 5%...fuck you sony.
i just got Mortal Kombat for ps3 and got the online pass without redeeming my kombat code..was this free for everyone and how long is this pass good for???Quote:
