What the hell? Clicked to the first PS3 game, successfully clicked "get now," went back, wouldn't let me download stardust, and now it won't actually let me download the first game. This is nuts.

Check the op and the

part.

Anyone else getting a "this content cannot be selected at this time" message?

If you got that far, the game should already be in your download list. Try downloading it from there.
 
Just a recommendation, if anyone gets Killzone Liberation I recommend you bug Guerrilla about the DLC, you used to be able to download it through the game, but they took it down, maybe if enough people ask about it they'll put it back up.

I was actually surprised they allowed me to download 2 games on my account, and another 2 on my wifes. Got all 4 games we didn't have. I kind of figured they would have locked it down by MAC address or system ID.
really so you can download a 2 games per user name? thats great. I only have one of these games...

I get that when I try and get the 30 day free Playstation +

I left the page, and went back to the "welcome back" page, and now the Plus option is gone.
Guess I'll check back tomorrow.

Actually, upon second look, its saying "This content cannot be accessed on your account".

Edit: Read the OP again. Nevermind.

Only if they were usernames before the PSN outage.

For my second selection, I'd like to know if Super Stardust HD also includes all of the downloadable content, similar to how the Wipeout HD package in the offer includes the Fury pack. I've already got Super Stardust HD (of course), the Solo pack, and the Impact mode pack, but I'm missing the Team pack. If the Team pack is included, then I'll choose this for sure.

It's only... $1.50? You don't have Wipeout HD or the other stuff to where you really want to get something that is $1.50 otherwise? :/

Is there something specific to do to be able to d/l the movies ? After much turmoil I managed to get all my free games (wohoo) but trying to get the movie always give me the "your account can't access this content" message (when I manage to pass the almost constant timeout on the store that is :p). I'm not against seeing Ghostbusters and well, might as well check how bad spirits within really is after all I read about it (I activated the psn+ and already got some content exclusive to it so I guess the problem is not there).

Got all my games, thanks for the info about the disappearing thing.
Additionally, what are some good free PSN PS+ titles that are available?

I went through the account management like in the OP, select the game again, and this time it worked.

I got infamous and R&C, not bad for free.

I have another questions I wonder if someone can answer.

I already own Wipeout HD on my main account. Went to download Wipeout bundle on my US account to get fury. I want me to download three parts (demo, activation and fury). If I just download fury, will it be compatible with my EU version?

I know this is a stupid question, but although I'd presume that the games you pick should still be downloadable after the 30 days as long as you've selected them, the wording kind of confuses me. Will they still be downloadable as though you'd bought them in the regular way after the time is up?

So with PS+, what can I keep exactly after the sub runs out?

PS1 game yes?
DLC like the Killzone 3 map pack no? Whats it going to do? Stop me from playing it?
Avatars and dynamic themes?

Sorry if this has been answered before. Saw the faq on the blog, but still confused.

Did the store go back down or something?

LOL it's getting hammered. Took me many tries to even get Infamous to start downloading. Since then, I haven't been able to get back in.

Glad I didn't activate the PS Plus yet on my main account, I'm waiting until July 3rd to start that shit.

I THINK: You'll only lose games. DLC and Themes and Avatars will stay.

I'd like it if everything PS+ members are entitled to would say after the free months are up. Would be an even greater goodwill gesture.

Not to mention everyone playing Uncharted 3 beta lol.

You keep DLC, avatars, and themes, and anything you paid for (even at a PS+ discounted price).
 
Lost one of my PSP games. Disappeared and the option is gone. Gonna try to go through Account Management > Services List to recover it after it stops saying "PSN is undergoing maintenance".

Oh really? now I have even more downloads to que up, this is beautiful

Apparently it depends on the DLC, I was going to download a couple of the free map packs but kept getting a message that I'd only have access to them while I was a Plus subscriber.

I think the OP should really mention the "you keep this when the sub runs out" stuff for those of us that don't really give a shit about PS+ but want to make a run for the border when it comes to getting the most out of our "free gift" of it.

Like if I keep Abe's Exodus when I pop plus for maybe getting KZ3's DLC, then good. Otherwise I won't bother getting it because I don't need it in my download list taunting me to get a rental service again. :/

Decided to go for Little Big Planet and Super Stardust HD since I already own the downloadable version of inFamous. Kinda getting addicted to LBP, not gonna lie. Didn't see that coming. Haha

LBP came out of left field for me when I got into the beta and saw the 8bit (IIRC) calculator built in-game/engine. Just showed the ability of the engine off really well.

LBP2 is even better, but at the time I last played it there wasn't too many levels that were "WOW!" like LBP1. Maybe that's changed.

Back out to your friends list, look for the yellow plus next to your name

You have a yellow + sign before your gamertag in the friendslist.

Edit: beaten ;P
 
Free game selection vanished so I have to go through account services later, got about 30+ errors trying to complete my purchase on other games until I finally got a server time out which booted me from the store. Time to bail out!

Maybe after 1AM things will have calmed down some.

Just finished awkwardly downloading wipeout. I now can't decide between super stardust and deadnation. =/

I think I'm leaning towards deadnation... anyone want to steer me in another direction?

If you weren't already a PS+ subscriber before the free month you don't get Abe's Exodus free, when I add it to my cart it shows up as being $9.99. And the Killzone map pack gives me a message that I'll only have access to it while I'm a subscriber.

succesfully redeemed the package and started downloading Infamous and Dead Nation off my EU account at 1 MB/s out of 8100 MB total.

I already bought Wipeout but I want Fury. How do I go about picking Wipeout then?

Do I delete my current install of regular Wipeout first?

Stardust is incredible, DeadNation is mediocre.

No, you select Wipeout HD Fury in the welcome back selection, you'll be given the option to download all three items (HD/Fury/Unlock), just download Fury.
 
I can't even sign into PSN now, let alone the Store. It's undergoing maintenance. It's like last month all over again. I demand more free games for this inconvenience. Five minutes I've been unable to sign in.

Travesty.
 
Yeah, I think I'm going to wait until next week for this. I couldn't even download a few demos last night, I don't think I'll have a chance of downloading this today.

In case anyone was wondering The Spirits Within is still crap.

I'm very tempted to take the leap. I remember going to see that on Day 1. Weird thing is, I barely remember anything about the movie. Just vague images.
