PSN is back!

[flex wood]

So, I'm curious. Does anyone here think the free games made the month of no PSN worth it?

wipeout fury is AMAZING I would have never played it without the network going down. I have yet to play it online though, ironic right?

Just FYI to anyone who has a Hong Kong account. PSN and the store have launched again. I was able to grab both the free PS3 games and PSP games. I went with Hustle Kings and Trashbox on PS3 and Everybody's Stress Buster and LocoRoco's Midnight Carnival on PSP.

List of games for those who are curious:

PS3
The Last Guy (Chinese/English Version)
Come on, LocoRoco!! BuuBuu Cocoreccho (Chinese/English Version)
Trashbox (Chinese/English Version)

PSP

Unfortunately, I have not been able to get into my Japanese account. The email is invalid and I have no idea what date of birth I input. *shrug* So long JP PSN account.

Late to the party, but at least the bum rush is over. Fetching Dead Nation and Stardust myself.

Let me know when you want to play Dead Nation coop. It's lots of fun.

According to Playstation's twitter, Streets of Rage 2 is free for plus members, AKA everyone at the moment. I'm guessing it's just gonna be taken away after this month right?

Probably so. I downloaded it last night and played through a couple of stages with a random coop buddy. The netcode seems solid enough.

The port itself is trash. The visuals are muddy, colors are off, sounds drop where they didn't before, the sound is poorly emulated and inputs are randomly dropped when things get busy. The visuals are no excuse. I am playing on a CRT TV through S-Video. Even then, the image doesn't fit the screen... I see faint hints of a border. I can understand where all of the "Backbone" hate comes from now.

It makes a nice freebie, but I would definitely not pay money for it.

I find aiming in Dead Nation to be really hard. I barely touch the analog stick and I'm doing like a 180.

That's a let down. Thanks though, I'll avoid it on psn

Yeah same here. So far that's the only thing I found wrong with the game. Are there sensitivity options?
