Oh awesome, played a little Demon's Souls and finally I can get in

Gonna get Wipeout HD + Super Stardust HD

Also LittleBigPlanet PSP and maybe ModNation Racers since its free.

Ooo I forgot about Plus content! Awesome! Well done Sony.

 

[Zomba13]

Soo... Where do I get the free home stuff? I don't see a kiosk in the main square place and there doesn't seem to be an area on my list called the Central Plaza.

 

[TheSeks]

The same thing happened to me

Did you get around it? I may have to ask Killthee to pop on my EU account for me. *siiigh*

I mean, it let me download the PSPGo theme (which I should see if it'll let me use on my PSP-1000 and get 10 free games. BWHAHAHAHAHA~) and own it just fine. So I don't think the store is busted. It just isn't showing the content for me. WTF. :/

I don't see a kiosk in the main square place and there doesn't seem to be an area on my list called the Central Plaza.

Er-If you're in a park with a fountain and a bowling alley, theater, mall hub, you're in the central plaza. From where you're standing (probably outside your "apartment" link), it's straight in front of you. See that PSN Store bag logo? That's the kiosk.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

My downloads were going slow, for some reason if I pause and unpause them it speeds up. My Rachet download was taking forever then I paused/unpaused and its almost done

I tried that a few times, also opened up the internet browser and it seems to pump life into it.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Hey guys,
I just tried to login to the Store for the first time in months and it asked me to change my password I clicked on Okay and then it says An Error Has Occured(80710D36) Whats the deal?

Nevermind seems to be server issue.

 

[Morris]

Wipeout Fury is fun as hell online. Also, Dem Menus *bites lower lip*

All I want now is PayPal on PSN, Sony. Make it happen!

 

[Garret]

I can't get the EU PSN website to send me my password. Forgot it. Darn it.

 

[TheSeks]

Wipeout Fury is fun as hell online. Also, Dem Menus *bites lower lip*

Since you have SF4, SSF4, MvC3 platinums... Wipeout HD should be childs play for you. Impress me, Morro!

 

[C.Dark.DN]

scratch that. pausing does nothing for me.

only opening the web browser every few minutes...

and if I don't it'll sit there endlessly.

 

[RPGCrazied]

90% on inFAMOUS! Damn, this was a huge download. After this, I guess I'm done. I might grab Abe's Odyssey for PS1. That's free with the PSN+

 

[McNum]

I feel odd about inFamous. I like the game, yet I hate some of the controls. I'm not that far, I think, but I'm at the same time loving the roaming, jumping, climbing and just got the electric sliding. But I hate the combat. There's a button labeled Lock On, yet it only works on downed people? Is that right? I can't lock onto an enemy in this game?

 

[randomkid]

Is that the only free game that comes with PSN+? I thought I heard something about Lilo and Stitch PS1 being a free game, and then at some point Streets of Rage 2 was a free game right?

It might be good to update the OP with all the free games for each region with PSN+, both PS1 and PSP Minis.

Anyways, so glad I chose Wipeout over Infamous as my second game, I'm not normally into racers but it's so beautiful and actually pretty fun.

 

[TheSeks]

You don't need to lock onto an enemy. EVER. AT ALL. It's basically a third person shooter masked as a sandbox.

Lock-on is for ground people, yes. But it gets you karma (restrain enemies/reapers gain karma, heal downed civilians gain karma, soul/life-suck people for health for evil karma) quickly if you need the maxed karma achievements.

 

[dreamer3kx]

Ha, errors still, guess the monkey threw his tools in the garbage and took his weekend off.

 

[spindashing]

OP needs to be updated with filesizes. How big is Dead Nation? Download isn't too slow.

 

[TheSeks]

OP needs to be updated with filesizes. How big is Dead Nation? Download isn't too slow.

1-2 gigs, IIRC. It's a PSN title so it isn't too huge.

 

[Persona7]

How did I miss out on Pursuit Force?

I like this game.

 

[Shalashaska161]

Gotta decide between Pursuit Force and Mod Nation. Thought anyone?

Ah, okay. I'm using the lock on a lot, though. Do stunned foes get up or is there no practical reason to electrocuff them? I hope I get a superjump at some point, but I'm not holding my breath on that. Would be awesome, though. I wanted the lock-on more for camera reasons, though. Or at least the ability to hit triangle to look at a foe like a Point of Interest. Because some freak charging at me with his hands on fire should qualify as "interesting".

Also weren't the Gigawatt Blades a pre-order exclusive somewhere? Because the freebie inFamous has them.

Still, pretty fun game.

 

[Mooreberg]

Hi five!

That's exactly what I did.

Yeah I'm glad creating that account turned out to be worthwhile since participating in two KZ3 betas didn't seem to have helped the final product much. ZINGAZANG!

 

[ReBurn]

It's like pressing the call button on the elevator over and over to let it know that you're still waiting.

 

[Shalashaska161]

They were, but ended up being released for free a few months after the game launched.

 

[Chamber]

OP needs to be updated with filesizes. How big is Dead Nation? Download isn't too slow.

Dead Nation is 1547 MB.
Super Stardust is 277 MB.
Wipeout HD/Fury is 1881 MB.
inFamous is 7056 MB.

Don't know about LBP. That's the only one I don't have.

Also, 37% on inFamous. WE ROLLIN NOW!

Nope.

and Account management is borked

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Mmm, no, the elevator is programmed to come with one button press. The download is timing out and things can be done to jump start it.

Oh. I totally didn't see anything like that. Maybe it didn't load in?

 

[_Xenon_]

The US server is quite slow. I got countless 80710d36 errors until I managed to put 2 games into the download queue.

 

[Magnus]

I apologize if this has been answered already:

I understand that Plus (Free for a Month) is available for 30 Days after you download/activate it. Is there an expiry date on when you can begin that month?

 

[Jive Turkey]

I apologize if this has been answered already:

You need to redeem by July 3rd.

And again: Read the OP.

 

[Magnus]

You need to redeem by July 3rd.

Thank you!

 

[Acquiescence]

For those of you who downloaded inFamous - how long did it take in total?

 

[risk]

https://account.qriocity.com/login.action "Forgot your password" works on here.

thank you for this, I was really stressing out over it

 

[Zomba13]

Is the PS home stuff US only? Because I still don't see a bag anywhere after letting it fully load.

 

[Chamber]

For those of you who downloaded inFamous - how long did it take in total?

4 hours in. 39%

A long ass time.

 

[TheSeks]

Oh. I totally didn't see anything like that. Maybe it didn't load in?

No, it's there. It's been there a good year. You just aren't looking hard enough. It's easy to find. Go around the Central Plaza and look. That is, if you're in the US. Each regions CP is different and I dunno what the other regions are doing for their welcome back.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So, how long do you think will the download speed return?

 

[Mooreberg]

Hopefully this Burnout download from the Mumbai servers finishes before July 3rd.

 

[Acquiescence]

Thought as much. Thanks!

 

[TheSeks]

Hopefully this Burnout download from the Mumbai servers finishes before July 3rd.

Outside of a few trouble areas like the online challenges (which require cordination with DERP PUBLIC people unless you have friends and the Wildcats 8 player) you can get nearly all the trophies + DLC trophies in a week for Burnout Paradise. The only blockade on Paradise's platinum otherwise is the Eyetoy requirement.

Ah found it. In the UK (EU?) Home it's in the PSN sphere thing.

EDIT: Except there's no free things in them =/

SWAG. 88% with Dead Nation.

You'll have to wait for SCEE's blog to update on their region of Home, then. Again: Each region of PSHome is different, you have to wait to see what your mother region for your account is doing for their welcome back. Sorry. :/

 

[TrojanBlade]

can someone please let me know this:

Can I download the free games now but activate the PS+ at a later date (like on July 3rd)? Or the PS+ gets activated as soon as I download the free game? I will be out travelling so want get the maximum time for PS+.

 

[karasu]

Wow, yo! How does Wipeout get away with being so stylish? Sheesh.

 

[Einbroch]

SSD HD is AWESOME. My God. It's like Geometry Wars on crack.

 

[TheSeks]

PS+ has to be popped by July 3rd, otherwise it's gone bye-bye forever/no gift for you. Welcome Back can be gotten separately.

Edit: I love how some of you haven't tried SSD HD and Wipeout HD. What, there are no PSN cards in your region to buy them? :|

 

[DigiMish]

So the games that I buy with my free PSN+, once my month runs out and I don't renew, will I still have them in my DL list?

 

[jett]

Owning Wipeout HD and SSD should be mandatory for every PS3 user. It's criminal that you people had a PS3 but not those games.

Anyway, I'm having A LOT of fun with Dead Nation. Ratchet feels meh and LBP is okay so far. No space in my HD for Infamous.

It is an extra download. So you can get the games now and redeem your PS+ whenever you feel like (but before July 3rd).

 

[Windom Earle]

Everything downloaded now, god bless my give accounts. Also good to have dat US account, so much more awesome themes.
