Yes Kevin Butler, they get two!
Sony Corporation
Now that the PlayStation Network is making some serious progress getting back online, Sony Entertainment of America is announcing its “Welcome Back” program that should have many owners delighted. Sorry, the Black Ops map packs you were hoping for weren’t delivered, however they’re offering up plenty of other free content for any PlayStation Network or Qriocity users who were already registered at the time the networks went down. Once the service is fully restored, users will have 30 days to pick and choose content as they please, and it’ theirs to keep forever.
Any PlayStation 3 owners can select any two of the following:
· Dead Nation
· inFAMOUS
· LittleBigPlanet
· Super Stardust HD
· Wipeout HD + Fury
Any PlayStation Portable owners can select any two of the following:
· LittleBigPlanet (PSP)
· ModNation Racers
· Pursuit Force
· Killzone Liberation
That’s a grand total of four possible free games for PlayStation Network users, assuming you have the applicable devices! The fun doesn’t stop there, though, as all of the following will also be offered up for a limited time:
· A selection of “On Us” rental movie titles will be available to PlayStation Network customers over one weekend, where Video Service is available. Those titles will be announced soon.
· 30 days free PlayStation Plus membership for non PlayStation Plus subscribers.
· Existing PlayStation Plus subscribers will receive an additional 60 days of free subscription.
· Existing Music Unlimited Premium Trial subscription members will receive an additional 30 days of free premium subscription.
· Additional 30 days + time lost for existing members of Music Unlimited Premium/Basic subscription free of charge for existing Premium/Basic members.
· To welcome users Home, PlayStation Home will be offering 100 free virtual items. Additional free content will be released soon, including the next addition to the Home Mansion personal space, and Ooblag’s Alien Casino, an exclusive game.
This is definitely good news for Sony as many people were upset with their offerings up until this point, as can be seen in the comments on the announcement for their Sony Online Entertainment freebies. Users in Europe have a similar selection to choose from as well; however no other countries have been announced yet. For more information, head over to the PlayStation Blog.
