PSN Welcome Back Program Available Now - UPDATED Details Inside

TheSeks said:
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? :|

ok this is good news, as I can ask one of friend to activate the PS+ for me on July 3rd so I can get the max days of PS+ service :)

Ah guess I'll ask again, what games are currently available for free with PSN+ for America? Are these going to switch at some point this month? I just want to know before I activate.
 
finally go mediago working. Downloading LBP for the psp now. Debating between modnation and killzone. any general consensus on which of the two is a better game?

bad gameplay lol
Yeah, I think I'm going to go with SSHD over Infamous. Really don't like the idea of downloading 7GB over PSN, or having a 7GB install hanging around on my HDD. I'll just spring for a cheap disc copy of it at some point. SSHD looks great anyway.

Dead Nation imo is probably the best game of the 5, maybe because it's the newest.

Getting your multiplier levels high is so addicting. If you're near an orb chest, make sure you kill a bunch of zombies right before you open it. Your multiplier soars.
 
Getting dat Little Big Planet on another account. 244 minutes. After downloading inFamous, 244 minutes seems so little.

So far I have Dead Nation, inFamous and LBP (in progress).

Nooooo. No where close. SSD HD is the better House Marquee game. Not as many stupid game design decisions as Dead Nation has.

A question. I have Super Stardust HD already, but want to know if the WB version has the DLC included. If so, I'll use my Aussie Japanese account (whenever it opens) to swipe it. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Oops, I'm a big silly. :p

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.

Thanks for the tip! I will try that then.

Ugh. Modnation PSP's control/handling is a bit awkward. It isn't a bad game, but I kinda regret it now. :/

LBP PSP is a decent port, it's too bad graphically it's weak and Sony Bend had to fuck up Sackboys expressions and "customization" with the pulled back camera. That plus no multiplayer. For free, I can't complain. But I do kinda feel ripped off. :/

Killzone Liberation and Pursuit Force probably would've been better.

deactivate your current PSP account and log in with an alternate account (I'm assuming you have one), then download killzone liberation and pursuit force.

I'm on 6.20-TN-D and it's starting to error me out. :/

Saying I can't sign in with another users id even though it's a completely different ID. :/
 
Superstardust is pretty awesome, not a fan of the genre but this game is really well done.

Infamous still boring as ever though, trying to give it another shot but it's so bloody repetitive.
Throwing nades with square is ridiculously akward too, can't control the camera while doing it cos you need to take your hand off the stick.

@theseks, can you even log into PSN with CFW? doesn't that get you a hardware ban?

Nope.avi I've been able to login with 6.20-TN-D to get my main account stuff easy. Generally they block the firmware on update check. But I guess they aren't right now. Hence me attempting to sign in on my other id to get the stuff since MediaGo doesn't want to give me it, but no dice.

Or, more actually, I've been able to activate/deactivate the system and go to services to redeem my stuff that disappeared. But accessing the store itself will 800 error you.
 
I have a question about saves between physical copies and downloaded versions....I downloaded Infamous and tried to access my saves from my physical copy but no go. Is there a way around this?

No. Different id numbers = different save files.

You could attempt to change the id number/folder to the one of the DD version. Copy the DD save first, note the number. Copy the retail disc save. Rename the disc folder to the DD folder and put it back on the PS3.

Thanks, I will give that a try.

Edit: Where would I find the id number? I'm trying to do this by moving the saves to the online storage, then putting them back, would that potentially work?
 
Sorry if this has been answered, but I think I screwed myself out of a game. Yesterday clicked on "first ps3 game" and it kicked me out. Came back this morning and all there is "second ps3 game" so I bought dead nation because this was the one game I really haven't tried.
Is there anyway to access that first ps3 game? I see it in my accountant management transaction history, but I can't do anything with it. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Just for the record: I hate how Peace Walker ties the Uniglow shirts to ONE save file per PSN id. So if your save becomes... oh say... CORRUPTED, tough shit. >:|

It did? Do you do something to make it work, or did it just recognize your saves files automatically?

nope, just worked (USA ver). I did still have my install on my HDD from the disc version.

i kept getting bugged by error messages all day long. first i was unable to download anything. then i finally managed to download dead nation (which seems to be awesome, at least for free). Tried to jump into an online session - error codes, error codes everywhere.

later that day, i tried to download some other games. Tried to download infamous .... silly me, should have known better.

this is a bloody mess, and i ain't even mad. Its understandable, that sonys server are melting under the rush of gamers that seem to go after free games like sharks after bloody meat.

20 mins in to patching Burnout Paradise, and it's only 50%, this is fucking stupid. Why can't they upload patched builds?

Got Wipeout and Infamous. My sister also uses the PS3... will I need to redownload everything again for her account?!?

I guess it'd have to go through certification and QA again.

Nah, I was able to download inFamous on my other UK account and play it on my main US one.

Is there any reason why inFamous isn't showing up for me? I am able to pick every game but that. :/

I haven't had a chance to read through this thread to see if there is an answer.

Doesn't seem to be working for WipEout, renamed the folder and it gave me a corrupted data icon.

Dead Nation patch is going stupid slow. Anything worthwhile in the update? I've been playing it unpatched.
 
Was the UI in Infamous always so fuzzy or did they lower the quality for the download version? Some of the button icons were clearly never meant to be seen on an HDTV.

did you also try deleting your account? I got that same message before deleting my account from my psp.

I first deleted, then deactivated (they are two separate things) before signing in with my alt id.

its kinda interesting that infamous is almost exactly the size of the xbox data layer. 6.8GB just an odd coincidence.
 
got Dead Nation earlier, seems like a pretty cool little game to play co-op. Outside of Dead Nation I already own/owned 3 of the other 4 choices with the exception of SuperStardust which just isn't my type of game.

It came down to either LBP and Infamous and I thought Infamous was an absolute turd when I bought it way back when it first released so I'm downloading LBP right now which was a pretty cool game when I owned it before.

WipEout HD+Fury+2.20 updates is 1881MB, not 738MB. That's just the filesize for Fury, I believe.
