I'm going to get inFamous, and I haven't decided on the other one. In North America, it's Super Stardust HD instead of R&C.

already own all of them

Why give us a limited choice? Why not give us 10 buck in store and call it even?

Because they only made that deal with specific companies (Sucker Punch, etc.).

Unless you want Sony to fork out over 770 million dollars which is simply too much in my opinion .

I have Dead Nation and I love the gameplay and challenge it provides so I highly recommend it . I also have Infamous and love that game also .

as for me , i am forced to get the 2 i don't own , wipeout which looks awesome and R&C

Well they actually aren't giving anything away...ever. They are only NOT getting your money, just like now, except we can't even choose and frankly I'm a little insulted by LBP. It might be fun but seriously?

I already have LBP cause I got it free with PSN plus. inFamous I bought. Same with Wipeout HD and have played Dead Nation.

You wanna talk about been insulted? Nothing on there is useful for me. I wouldn't have minded another free month on DCUO.

But then again I don't really want anything from Sony other than something to play games on. I have that. And plenty of games to play when the whole thing was down. I can't be arsed.

I think you'll find there are alot of gamers that will enjoy this offering . It's better than nothing . I'd much rather have wipeout than $10 store credit . I'm sure there are many who will score a new game they don't own to play , and we got our online back so I'm not complaining .

I'm hoping store will be back up tomorrow so I can get Steel Rain DLC for Killzone 3.

This was released in EU on 6th April and was free to Playstation Plus members for the first month.

Has anyone seen anything specific stating whether this will be extended due to the PSN outage so that we will all be able to get it for free?

What's so bad about LBP?

Good question. I own it, and it's very fun.

Yeah I agree, I thought it was good. A lot more difficult than I expected to ace all of the levels and find all the prize bubbles which made Platinum was a real b!t_h. A lot of playability with all of the millions of user created levels too.

I also like LBP, it is a brilliant concept and a little fun game to play with friends [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

It seems like a creative and fun game to me as well.

How are they not giving away anyhting? Two of those are full-fledged games. I can certainly understand if you have all of them, but if you don't, I think its a great deal.

LBP has come free with PSN Plus, they have been giving that away for a good while.

EU today:

Welp thats me offline tonight.

Tell someone to log in at home before 4:30 pm and you should be fine

Won't be anyone there. I'll be investigating arsonists anyway. L.A. Noire be good.

Thanks for posting that Seyelback.

I've put my wife on the case, lucky she's off with the kids for half term.

Apparently, the US is going to do pretty much the same. So if you are at home now, try to log in if you want to play online later. The announcement in EU starts in 15 minutes but in the US they have just posted that they will go down "soon", so it might be everything at the same time:
