PSN Welcome Back Program Available Now - UPDATED Details Inside

Downloaded both ModNation and LBP for my PSP via Media Go - didn't really have any problems downloading, them but I haven't installed them onto my Go just yet. At the moment, I'm downloading inFamous and the Wipeout Fury pack.

I'll try downloading for my UK account later on.

quickly queued up Stardust, wipeout, dead nation and infamous, no major hiccups, only the occasional error that never really took more than half a second to get out of way and never kicked me out of the menu I was at. I'm impressed, didn't think psn store would be working like this so soon


edit
this free pixelated theme is really sweet after you get rid of its busy background!! Love how the black pixelated icons look against a pink background, great sound effects too, will stick with it.
 
Just a warning to anyone in PS+ that might be redownloading Wipeout for the Fury expansion…I deleted my US version of Wipeout I got when I signed up with Plus and downloaded it again with the fury expansion from my UK account. Seems the save files are different (I dunno if it's because I got this from the UK store, or if it's because of the Fury expansion)…as all the progress I made in Wipeout HD isn't showing up in this version I downloaded…it seems to have made a completely new save file and won't access the old one.

Grabbed Dead Nation and Ratchet off the UK store. And Wipeout Fury and Infamous from the NA store. Have like no room to download anything atm so i just got them into the download list and i'll grab them later.

Honestly I though Sony would do something about people having multiple accounts and DL'ing more than just 2 games total, but doesn't look like it.

Saves files are always different when it comes to the region of a game. Downloadable games are no exception.

But i really want infamous.. I just remembered i had an old uk account. But unfortunatly the email adress cannot be accesed anymore, because the site is gone. I remember my email adress and login.. So does anyone know if I can contact sony Uk to help me..? In the faqs they say you can contact them if you do not have acces to the mail anymore. So does anyone have an email adress to contact them..?




Did you try recovering the password at http://qriocity.com ? or is that for US accounts only?

Yes.. But becase my ps3 Ylod'ed I do not have a ps3 with the account activated. So i have to make new password via the pc, but because the mail adress is dead and i cannot acces it,I have no way of doing that online on my pc.
But in the faqs they said if this happened you can contact them, but I do not have any means to contact them. So I was hoping that someone had an adress to mail them about my problem.
 
I dun goofed!
I downloaded LBP and infamous through my US account but my saves for both games (that I've previously owned on disc) are from Euro versions and so aren't recognised.
A waste of 2 games!

Don't make the same (stupid) mistake guys!

I have the disc version of WipEout (I have the PS3 WipEout pack) and got the download version for convenience. It also doesn't load my savegame, even though the region is the same, quite disappointing.

Is there a way to fix this?

Do I have to access the store from my PSP to get the two free PSP games on my Euro (Australian) account? I only have the option to get the two PS3 games when accessing the store from the PS3. :/

I noticed that on the US Store, I could get the PSP games straight from the PS3. Or am I doing something wrong for it to not be showing on my Australian account?

Since it's the same region, it may just be a case of the two games saving into different folders. It's worth a try to copy the disc version save to USB, then copy it to your computer, then do the same with the download version. Take note of the folder names, and if they're different, rename the disc version save to the same as the download version and copy it back to the PS3.

Yeah, you need to go on your PSP to get them, same thing happened to me.

So many goddamn 80710D36 errors while accessing the store, LOL.

Huh. So, when the hell did Sony decide to region lock PSN stores?

I get a (translation) "You can't access this from your country/region" error message whenever I try to access the Japanese PSN store from my Japanese PS3 (I'm in the US).

That sure would suck if this lasts. I've made a lot of purchases from the Japanese PSN store.


I LIVE in Japan and get the same message. Don't worry.

The problem with PSP games is that each system can only be authorized for one account. Meaning you have to choose if you want your EU account or US account games on your PSP. You can switch back and forth no problem, but it means connecting your PSP to PSN each time.

I wish the selection was larger.

It's a shame for people who've already bought a lot of the games that they can't really milk their multiple accounts for free games, except to get installed versions of what they might've bought on disc. ;)

Activated my free 30 days of PLUS and downloaded Streets of Rage 2, a PSone classic and Magic:duels of the planeswalkers, all for free.

Both SoR2 and psone game have expiration dates, but not Magic, its weird.

yea I already got LittleBigPlanet (disc),Stardust HD and Wipeout (but without the addons)

still gonna redownload them all

btw. the US versions of the PSN games have just the english language and different savegames (since it has a north american product code)

Some of you milking your "alternate" accounts are :|

Is PvZ back to 14.99 or still 9.99?

Dead Nation. Unless you are looking for easy platinums.

Or Infamous, since that's a rental and able to be platinumed in a day (provided you have a rock hound map)

I live in the UK and cannot access the UK store but luckily my US account seems to access the store. Anyone know if downloading the US version of Dead Nation will have any negative effect?

Finally all 6, including R&C, games are mine. Glad I made that British account and an account for my fiance years ago!

I made this exact same mistake. I even lost the one DLC piece I bought for LBP. :(

Oh well, I sold the disc versions for a reason; I won't be playing those games again for a while, and if I do I'll be starting over.

like mentioned in my pervious post,

the US versions of the PSN games have just the english language (doesn't bother you probably =P) and different savegames/DLC files since they have a north american product code

well it's not the case with all of them but most do have this "issues" (tested it back in the day with Siren:Blood Curse and Wipeout)

Thanks for clarifying this for me! I did notice your other post but was just wondering if there were any issues specific to Dead Nation, but I guess there isn't. Downloading now!

That R&C game is atrocious.

It's a dangerous game at least, can see and delete any savegame from any game from within itself, this game becomes off limits to my sisters kids even if it was for them I downloaded the game.

I tried to select my first free game, and before I could PSN error'd out. Now it says I've already redeemed my first free game offer even though I never selected/downloaded anything.

Solutions?
