Do PSP users not get the Playstation Plus 30 day deal? I see nothing in my "Welcome Back" thing about it.

In addition, we’re giving access to our premium subscription service, PlayStation Plus, which includes games, huge discounts, exciting exclusives and added features like online storage and automatic downloads, to all PSN members for 30 days at no charge, requiring no long term commitment. As with the games above, go to the PlayStation Store and under the ‘Welcome Back’ section, select ‘PlayStation Plus: 30 Days Free’, and you’ll be given access to all of the benefits of PlayStation Plus. Note that this will not auto-renew and simply expires 30 days after activation.

These last two days have been awesome for my PS3 & PSP:

Burnout Paradise, Pain, Magic the Gathering, Outland, Under Siege, L.A. Noire DLC cases, Penny Arcade Adventures 1 & 2, inFamous, WipEout HD Fury, Killzone Liberation, LittleBigPlanet (PSP), Prince of Persia Classic, Red Faction: Battlegrounds, Sonic 2 and Streets of Rage 2.

Wow.

PlayStation Plus is a PS3-only service, with the occasional PSP discount.

 

[revolverjgw]

I just realized my (very old) memory stick isn't even big enough for Modnation PSP to fit on

Shit

PlayStation Plus is a PS3-only service, with the occasional PSP discount.

I have been pestered to sign up for PS+ any time I bought content that was on sale through my PSP, so.... no it's not.

Yes the deals suck for a PSP user (Minis and PS1 games), but it still exists, and their blog says "All PSN members".

 

[h3ro]

SuperStardust HD is melting my brain.

Holy crap.

 

[Somnid]

So I can't log in because the update password page has been closed for the last 2 days .

You're right, although even the Sony folks say it's primarily a PS3 service:

Maybe you can only download the trial on a PS3.

 

[pharmboy044]

SuperStardust HD is melting my brain.

Holy crap.

You've never played Stardust before? Wow, I guess it's a good thing Sony gave that game away for free because that game is awesome.

Hopefully this convinces people to pick it up for the PSV.

 

[bjb]

I believe the free PSone games stay too.

Was this ever confirmed that you keep these games as well after you subscription ends?

 

[Dark Octave]

Just got everything and installing now. My plan to wait until later at night worked. Thanks for the info and tips.

 

[Broman1978]

Wtf Sony!! Downloaded Infamous, LBP and Burnout Paradise.. I had older saves for Infamous (@81 completion) and Burnout Paradise (over 15-20hours ingame) But I cant use my old saves for my newly downloaded games for the Welcome Back program! thanks for that... =(

Downloaded the demo once, didn't pay much attention to it. Fantastic game.

Anyone else getting errors now when trying to access the store?

 

[Lagspike_exe]

I like Dead Nation a lot, although I think it sucks that there aren't boss fights. Any DLC incoming?

 

[Stoffinator]

They did say at the beginning of the year that there would be DLC. But haven't seen or heard anything else about it.

 

[Fuzzy]

Curiously, PSone games (like Syphon Filter) appear to work even after the Plus subscription ends. Although clearly marked as Expired under the game's "Details," the game launches normally. It's unclear if this is simply an oversight, or if this content is meant to be free, even after the end of a subscription (much like downloaded avatars and XMB themes). Nevertheless, we've asked Sony to clarify because, hey – permanently free games makes PlayStation Plus a much more palatable offer! If it's a glitch, you can look forward to another mandatory firmware update sometime soon (sorry!).

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/16/playstation-plus-games-expired/

That was from back in August but I don't know if Sony fixed it since then. It would be nice if someone on GAF with an expired PS+ account could clarify.

 

[Zoe]

Got all my US stuff queued up, but UK keeps giving me an error when I try to enter the store

If I get the UK version of LBP, will the US DLC still work?

 

[AndyMoogle]

Anyone have the PSP Welcome back content dissappear? I activated the 'ticket' yesterday and was about to download ModNation Racers when I got an error.
I decided to wait until today but now it's empty.

Are you supposed to be able to get the PSP games on PS3? Because I can only choose PS3 games.

 

[ninjatrigg]

Dont know where else to post this, but is it safe to redeem codes right now?

I have a bunch of MK kodes that need redeeming. Im worried about it giving me an error and rendering the codes unusable.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

awww yea multiple accounts FTW. I can't remember the last time I got so many new games at the same time. :lol Also been playing Bayonetta... I have to say all in all Sony behaved like a champ.

I could try and be mad, but Sony letting us get away with multiple accounts and get all this free stuff is just so damn awesome.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Well many of the games overlap so it's more like 3 games instead of 2. Not that big of a deal.

 

[Outtrigger888]

Downloading dead nation right now... and will probaly get Rachet and Clank with my UK account. I got errors up the ass but just kept retrying and it finally went through. So the 30 day PS+ starts when you activate it in the welcome back package? How often do they switch up the PS+ content?

 

[corporate cheerleader]

I'd say having + accounts for different regions is cooler.

Yeah, the saves are not compatible between the retail and downloaded games. I'm not sure why that's the case.

Hopefully Sony gets this fixed especially for the PSV.

 

[KAL2006]

So it is only 2 games I am allowed to download for free per PS3 system, the reason I ask this is I have 2 PSN accounts, and I downloaded my 2 free games for one of my PSN accounts, but I cannot download anything for my other PSN account.

2 games for every account.

 

[MoxManiac]

Jesus christ, when the fuck are I going to be able to download anything? I'm still getting errors.

 

[ninjatrigg]

Jesus christ, when the fuck are I going to be able to download anything? I'm still getting errors.

Do it a few times... it goes through.

Im downloading infamous and dead nation right now.

 

[Chamber]

Too bad I don't have a 3rd account so I could get all 5. Sorry LBP.

 

[Sidewinder]

Hmm I thought somebody said saves were compatible with the download version of a game. Guess I shouldn't have traded my Infamous copy.

 

[FoxhoundNL]

Holy fuck,installing inFamous is taking a damn long time. 50 minutes and it's only at 80%, hopefully PS4 will be faster with this kind of shit, it's just ridiculous... I can't do shit while installing either, lol.

 

[e_i]

Tried downloading Infamous, but it gave an error in the middle of downloading and stopped downloading.

 

[FoxhoundNL]

Go to your download history (upper right corner of Store's frontpage) and select inFamous, it should just start downloading again.

You downloading at the same time, it slows installing down.

 

[Relix]

I am getting Infamous for sure....

Second game ... no idea.

Wipeout demo didn't do it for me.
Super Stardust... no idea.
R&C.... no idea either.

What to do what to do...

 

[FoxhoundNL]

Yup I'm downloading Burnout Paradise and Under Siege in the background. Is that really the reason for the slow installing? That seems.. odd.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Got a new wireless router today, so Ratchet & Clank is currently downloading, with inFamous to follow

 

[gl0w]

Gaf, i'm downloding Wipeout HD. But now going back to the store, there is no more PS3 free games listed to download :\ Anyone know how can i download my second game now ?

 

[Relix]

Gaf, i'm downloding Wipeout HD. But now going back to the store, there is no more PS3 free games listed to download :\ Anyone know how can i download my second game now ?

... ok this is ridiculous. Its in the OP for fucks sake

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Read the OP. But anyhow, go to the PSN Network icon on the XMB, go to account management, go to services list, and finally go to PlayStation Network promotions, and select PlayStation 3 free games

 

[Zomba13]

So.. does the UK not get free PSP games?
I've got 2 PS3 games but there was nothing for PSP games (even in the promotions thing in the service list).

I got 2 PS3 and 2 PSP from the NA store though.

 

[gl0w]

Read the OP. But anyhow, go to the PSN Network icon on the XMB, go to account management, go to services list, and finally go to PlayStation Network promotions, and select PlayStation 3 free games

Well thanks, but i had already read the OP, and tried the Services list option, but, there is no PS3 free games listed there. Thats why i asked for help...

 

[h3ro]

Gaf, i'm downloding Wipeout HD. But now going back to the store, there is no more PS3 free games listed to download :\ Anyone know how can i download my second game now ?

Edit: No clue, the OP method worked fine for me.

Installing is taking soo long when you do it while downloading.

 

[Kunan]

... ok this is ridiculous. Its in the OP for fucks sake

At this point one day bans need to start flying out to people. This is beyond pathetic.

 

[Chamber]

Wow, inFamous is going to take a long ass time to D/L. 3% after 20 minutes. :/

Maybe I should have did this overnight...

 

[ObnoxiousZebra]

If they aren't showing up on the PS3, you'll need to load the store up on your PSP. Media Go doesn't seem to work either.

 

[Zomba13]

The store isn't loading on my PSP (latest firmware). I keep getting error (80431063).

 

[gl0w]

Yeh thanks, I'm getting a lot of errors on PSN, so i think the best thing is wait and try again later.

 

[SleepyJohn11]

Edit: Looks Like I should have read the OP. My bad. :/
