We finally have confirmation on what we’ll be getting in the US as part of the “Welcome Back” initiative put in effect by Sony. As expected, the list is the same as the one posted on the European PS Blog (except for Germany; the EU also gets Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty in place of Super Stardust HD) but it is nice to KNOW what our choices will be.
Here’s all we’ll be getting:
All PlayStation Network customers can select two PS3 games from the following list. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.
For PSP owners, you will be eligible to download two PSP games from the following list. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.
Here are some other things we’ll be getting:
So, is it worth the wait without online, and is what we’ll wait for when the PSN Store comes back?

I have most of those….I guess Wipeout and Infamous since I traded it in a while back.

Looks like I’m getting Dead Nation! and to think I almost bought this right before the outage. I knew that I would most likely have 3 of the 5 up for grabs, I really wanted MAG to be up there but ah well

Hrm, well, unfortunately I have all of those PS3 titles save for Dead Nation. Guess I’ll check that out! Still, this is a nice list for those who are lacking any of these. Infamous and LBP are probably the best buys, since they were disc-based games originally. Can’t really go wrong with Super Stardust or Wipeout, though.

I was just thinking about buying Infamous lol. And now I’ll have 2 more games for my PSP that I was planning on buying too! Any idea when the store’s supposed to get up?

For all of those who passed up on Dead Nation…you’re in for a treat. Game is fun, especially online coop.

I feel like loyal Sony fans are kind of getting left out here. We obviously have all those titles. Regardless it is what it is and they don’t have to offer anything for losing everybody’s information as it is stipulated in tos that they aren’t responsible so beggars cant be choosers I guess.

Not to mention last patch added chat and fixed all the bugs like blowing up cars before seeing them lol Yeah it is a champ

I feel it’s good enough. More than expected really.
I’ll be getting Infamous (which I’ll finally finish) and LBP, because it’s Mrs. Pedro favorite.
I’d get Dead Nation, but I guess I can get that from PSN for much less than the other games here.

Well I was satisfied when it got back up, ima get infamous and maybe Dead Nation or LBP, and um I hope to see some good movies up, not old ass ones.

SCE said” I’m really sorry tha[t] there is nothing there that you want. We’ve tried really hard to put together a list of high quality BD games, rather than simply offering cheaper PSN titles. The average metacritic rating for these games is over 84%, so these are high quality games. Unfortunately with a user base of 77m people, it is really hard to offer something for everyone.
#11 by Clint on May 16th, 2011 [ 41643 Points ]
I guess I’ll grab stardust HD and Dead Nation I suppose.
#12 by Green on May 16th, 2011 [ 315 Points ]
I’m going to Dead Nation and maybe infamous. Maybe stardust instead of infamous. well see…
#13 by pedrolabate on May 17th, 2011 [ 39934 Points ]
You sent them an e-mail?
#14 by Markus on May 17th, 2011 [ 4322 Points ]
Dead Nation for sure… Not sure what my second choice will be…
More than fair imo

That was their response to a poster on the official blog.

inFAMOUS for me. Never played it other than a demo.
PlayStation Home will be offering 100 free virtual items
Fun, hopefully newer items.
#17 by EdEN on May 17th, 2011 [ 102597 Points ]
I’m getting infamous and LBP on PS3 and Modnation Racers and Killzone Liberation on PSP. Would have been EXTRA NICE of them if they just added $30 in funds to our account and we used that as we pleased but this is great as well.
#18 by nitestar on May 17th, 2011 [ 906 Points ]
getting Infamous (been wanting it for a while) and LBP (wanted it initially at release but kept putting it off for one reason or another)
#19 by IvanTheGent on May 19th, 2011 [ 380 Points ]
I’ll pass on the game freebies, Infamous bore me to death and the rest I have played or don’t care for. I’m more excited about the movie rentals, please don’t let them be wack ass titles.
