That's all Welcome Back or is that PS+ If it's Welcome back I'm going to have to ask Killthee to grab the Tricell and LBP stuff along with the themes.

No, it's Plus. Welcome back only offers the free games and movie rentals.

I'll never bitch about download times again after this inFamous d/l. 6 hours in and I'm at 68%.

You can do it! Just play another console as you wait or go watch some TV or something.

It took me 10 hours in total to DL inFamous. 10 Hours...

Some is just PSN+ update stuff added in, some of it is prior to the Outage

If you PSN+ since yesterday, your getting everything offered from April 5th+, some of the themes should have been removed + avatars, but they are still there

Grab them quickly....looks like Sony gonna start cleaning up the clutter this week, start preparing for all those store updates we missed

Quick ? for anyone to answer, my friend said that the PSN+ 30 day activation icon is only available till June 6th, meaning Monday, I looked every where to see if this is true, all I see is that you have till July 3rd, to activate all your freebees, including the 30 day free PSN+ right?

Wow i'm really digging Wipeout HD Fury's soundtrack. Wasn't a fan of vanilla HD's but this is good stuff.

Went with this and inFAMOUS :D

Oh well. :/

I'm waiting for the Magic: DotP update to see if the DLC is able to be kept after + ends. That's honestly the only benefit if any from giving me a rental service for a month for my dead PS3. :/

Is dead nation any good? I went with LBP for my first choice and I already have inFamous on disc.. Trying to decide between the other three

So modnation racers psp or pursuit force. I watched videos of both and modnation has some sweet customization but pursuit force looks to have nicer graphics.

Is pursuit force all driving though or is there any on foot sections?

Kind of wish I didn't have the "retail" titles already. Picked up what was left, that being Dead Nation and WipEout (whenever they finish downloading). Haven't touched my PSP in ages, but if I still downloaded KZ:L and LPB for that just in case.

I'm agonizing whether to get Wipeout HD or LBP, already got Infamous downloading.
Played neither of those games.

Edit: Decided to get LBP.

I haven't played Pursuit Force but the controls feel kind of laggy on Modnation Racers to me.

Can we change regions once your account is already made? I grabbed Infamous for game one, but I would like Ratchet and Clank for game 2.

Kind of wish I could get a free upgrade to the Wipeout expansion. Already bought the game when it came out. Then again, I'm not really a fan so... yeah.

InFamous for sure and either a tossup between LBP and Dead Nation. Already have the disc but digital would be nice.

Shouldn't had got Infamous, the wipeout and lbp would have been a great combo.

If you like challenge, go for Wipeout otherwise LBP.

I don't think you get the DLC with it.

From the PS+ thread: Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2011 (Free to PlayStation Plus subscribers, regular price $9.99)

The bundle with the DLC is called DotP Gold and costs $19.99.

That blows. Ok, looking for a recommendation between Little Big Planet, Dead Nation, and Super Stardust HD. I don't like racers that much so I'm passing on Wipeout.
Click to expand...

Wipeout is technically a racer, yes, but you should at least try the demo before saying you are going to pass on it. You do have until July to pick your two free PS3 games so download all the demos first and try them out. IMO Wipeout is the best game available in the Welcome Back program.

The two DLC mission packs for MAG are currently being offered for free on PS+. Will I lose them when the 30 days of plus are up?

Took me about 15 hours. And now it's taking at least a half hour to install.

Finishing up my free game extravaganza. Infamous and Wipeout on my main. SSD HD and Dead Nation on my US account. Ratchet game on the euro account. Never played any of those games before, save for the infamous demo.

Since the PSP games can only be redeemed on a PSP on the EU store, anyone know if, after redeeming, they show up on the Purchases list on the PS3? I'd rather download it on the PS3 than the PSP.

If you're downloading anything while you're installing, it'll take forever to install.

I decided to sign on and start collecting my goodies last night. Took a half a dozen times, but I got my download of LBP started and it was all done by this morning. Thinking I'll get ModNation next, and then I will turn my attention to the PS3 pickings. Infamous and Wipeout are my current picks.

There's confusion about whether DLC stays after a PS+ subscription ends. The FAQ says DLC expires while some guy at Sony said DLC doesn't expire. I guess you'll find out in 30 days.

Did you just let it sit? Mine will slow down to nothing and signing in and out of PSN account through account management jump starts it to 1 MBps for a few minutes.

Yesterday I let it sit for an hour and it was basically where I left it.

I bought this game long ago and only played like the first level. Stopped playing due to no Platinum.

Even then, I waited like a year after buying it before I first played it.

I wish I had made an EU account. Are these games shareable? Or are you able to grab Ratchet twice on an EU account?

I'd love if someone would help me grab that game. I've only got a US and an Indian account :/

After about 20 errors, I finally managed to get all the goods from the Store. Only managed to download 37% of inFamous so far though. Boy is that one massive. Stardust is still waiting until afterward.

took about 11 hours but I finally got Wipeout HD/Fury and Dead Nation. Thankfully no problems with time outs or errors, it just took fucking forever (also nice that after a long ass download, Dead Nation needed ANOTHER fucking update patch that took like 45 minutes)
