How are the free PS3 games on the HK PSN? I am referring to "The Last Guy", "Come on LocoRoco" and "Trash Box"? Which two should I get?
I'd go for The Last Guy and Hustle Kings. I haven't tried the other two though.

Whatever you don't, don't get the locoroco one. I assume its basically Corocheco, or whatever that thing's called in the US store. The other ones are great games.

I don't know if this is OT.

PSN have 5 allowed units, but how can I de-auth a PSP and are there limits to download the PSN-based game to the unit? As I'm having problems finishing a download direct to my PSP.

The Japan store is still down, right?

I just tried to open it and it said "This service is not available in your region" instead of the usual "Currently undergoing maintenance" message. o_0

They better not have region locked it! >_>

Are the games you download tied to having PSN+ (Essentially a one month rental)? Or are they mine permanently?

If it was free due to PS+, it's basically a rental. If you buy something with a PS+ discount, you keep that forever.

I tried to download 2 games and nothing happened and now they are gone. Does this mean that I have to that that secondary route that's in the OP?

First check to see if the games you tried to pick are on your download list, if not then use that route in the OP.
 
Anyone having issues connecting to their network to get the update? I can't access the PS store to get my two free games because I need the update. July 3rd deadline is coming up fast.

Okay I did this last night and it worked! WOOHOO! Once I beat Crysis 2 and Dead Space 2, I'll start playing Infamous for the first time and hope that it's a good game.

posted in the PlayStation + thread but posting here to:

As people keep asking what stays forever and what expires DLC ids forever EU PlayStation +


From EU - UK blog comments reply last week


"Hi, the US are doing it slightly different to us at the min. they get both the packs but access to the add-ons they give expires with your membership. However, in Europe, currently you get to keep any add-ons you download forever and so the compromise is that you only get Interdiction this time. Thanks"

I have a piece of poop that I will gladly sell you for 2 dollars when normally I charge 10. It's single player only, though.

Ok I picked Super Stardust HD but need help on the 2nd game. Already own infamous and will prob end up getting the GOTY LBP so Im stuck between Dead Nation and WipeOut. Are they both multiplayer and which will I have more fun with as I enjoy both genres.
 
I'm in a different boat. I got inFamous and need help on the 2nd game.

Wipeout to me is another racer, played the old games ehhhhh.
Dead Nation is an isometric shooter w/ zombies, which is nice.
Little Big Planet... i know the game from the demo, no.
Super Stardust HD I loved back in the day (demo) but length worries me.

Real life is real? In my opinion go with inFamous if you have room (6.9 GB install). Sewcond game is up to you, but I may go with my gut and take Dead Nation. It's the only other game I can see my sis playing.

Also as a fellow .hack// fan nice avatar... I think :p.

Games aren't real life I can't think of any other games I've played where your own attacks can hurt ya (recoil damage move in PKMN and like specifically attacking your party members in FF7). It seems like a dumb mechanic that'd only make the game harder if ya suck at aiming from longer distances and me well I suck at aiming in general so >_<

An yes I'm .hack// super fan for life! Will be waiting on that Link localization to my deathbed!
 
This might be a supremely stupid question, but can I get these free games if I don't have access to my PS3 or PSP at this time? I won't be home until next weekend, so that leaves me shit out of luck by July 3rd.

Can I just log on to PSN on the web to get my free games?

You need to access a PS3, any PS3 and log in with your account and claim them (as long as they are on your download list, you'd be fine). Then don't forget to de-activate the account on that PS3 after you're done. Alternatively asks someone at home to do it for you.

I was going to list a bunch of games but then you said "I've played". Ah.

It's a bit of an adjustment if you never experienced that before, but it's not too different from the "Using the right attack for the right situation" type of games either. Think of the game as Grand Theft Auto, only you have powers. If you get the game visit the InFamous thread in gaming, I get a bunch of help from there.

I would bust out my old Kite avatar, but I've derailed the topic enough. Time to DL Dead Nation and PSN+!

I'll help you out then deactivate your account on my PS3 once I get the games in your download list. Just send me a PM with the info and which games you want.

I'm not sure, maybe you can through MediaGO. You could also try logging into a friends ps3 with your account, select the games you want then download them later.

Okay I have a problem. I've gotten my free PSP games, and my 1 free PS3 game. I selected "second free ps3 game" and purchased that item so I could choose my second free game. I accidentally pressed O twice and went back to the PS Store main menu. Now there are no options to download my second free game. I only got one. How do I fix this....?

I don't remember 100% the exact steps off the top of my head but it should be something like this:

Account Management> Transaction Management> Services List> SCEA Promotions

Then select it from the list. Something like that anyways.

If I have a 4GB memory stick duo and a 160GB PS3, will I have to worry about file sizes for any of these games?
 
Is the Japanese PSN back up yet? I tried logging in, but it asked me to change my password, then booted me back to the XMB, I cant read Japanese, so I have no idea what it said after the popup that told me to change my password, haha.

I had a friend claim my freebies for me because my PS3 has been dead for ages but he forgot to download Wipeout on my Euro account for some reason. :p I have two North American accounts and a Euro account so I have enough accounts to claim every freebie but he missed that one. I need to find someone or somewhere to do it by Sunday. :p

As far as I know J-PSN store is still down unless all of us multiple account holders have been singled out of Japan's system. Even users like me that are in Japan. The error basically says you're out of region and can't view the content. But its supposed to just be a temporary place holder. A poorly chosen one, but its the one that's been up ever since PSN was brought back up.

I'm getting a little worried here. I keep seeing advertisements in the xmb top right corner on my J-PSN account for new game releases in the store but I can't access it. What's up with that crap? What a tease...

If you still need it I'll help you out. PM me.

Problem getting PSP games with Euro account.

I have downloaded the PS3 games without trouble on my EU account.
I have downloaded the PS3 and PSP games on my NA account.
But nothing shows up when I want to download the free PSP games on my EU account.

Anyone else have this problem?

I think that the free PSP games weren't part of the EU promotion (?)

I think you need to connect to the PS store using your PSP for the free EU PSP games.
