im at a dilemma. i know im getting inFAMOUS. i already own Wipeout HD/Fury, so thats out of the bag. not sure what else i should get since i really didn't care for LBP and dead nation and super stardust doesn't look like my thing. for psp im not even sure either.

but to those who are thinking/on the edge on wipeout, know this, i don't even care for the wipeout series, im not even big on racers, but that game has to be one of the best, most fun, and most complete packages on the system. seriously i can't say more good things about it. It's a blast to play and all the modes are actually fun to play even time trial, and when you have it playing to your own music, it's just a pure blast. basically here's my knotice: get it!

Wait, they're devaluing every game on the list to $0?

I know they said every PSN account made during or after the crash won't get the free stuff, but I have 2 accounts on my PS3 made pre-crash. Can I get 2 different games with both or does the one account per PS3 rule apply?

One account per PS3. And they aren't reducing the price, he's saying that by making popular games free that means that you'll have total market saturation, at which point the effective price becomes $0.

So where does that leave me i wonder? I ordered a PSP April 22nd and got it on April 27th. I dont even remember when the PSN went down. However I already had a PSN account via PS3. Does that mean my chances of getting 2 psp games arent going happen? Of course I couldn't register my PSP till the stupid thing was back up and running.

one suggestion, if you need a 2nd DualShock3 you should check the clearance section of yr local Best Buy -- I actually found the limited edition Little Big Planet box set that contained an extra DS3 for $25!
This is the exact same way I got my Dualshock 3 (I had two Sixaxis controllers prior to that though) but I found it clearance at Target.

On topic: After looking at some footage I'm thinking I'm going to get Wipeout HD + Fury and Infamous. I'll grap LBP for PSP and maybe that Killzone game for my PSP too. I'm pretty pleasantly surprised with the welcome back thing. I wouldn't have been surprised if Sony offered a lot less.

Has anyone downloaded any of the games through this offer yet? I'll try it myself once my daughter gets off the TV.

It wasn't clear to me if the store was back up. I just tried it earlier and confirmed that the store was still down. I don't use PSN much so I didn't want to miss my 3 week window to download the games.

Personally, I think I will go for Infamous and Wipeout HD. LBP is the only one that I have that is on the list.
