So, what will you guys be choosing for the Welcome Back package?

Well, as everyone knows by now, Sony’s offering a total of four free downloads (two PS3 and two PSP) as compensation in addition to the PSN Plus subscription. I’m feeling curious and bored right now and so I ask:

Which games (apparently, up to two for the PSP and up to two for the PS3) will you choose from the Welcome Back pack offering, and why?

I know what I’ll be picking tho:

PS3:
– WipEOut HD + Fury Pack. I’ve had the demo on my PS3 for a good year and always kept holding off getting the unlock key. Looks like it paid off.

PSP:
– LittleBigPlanet. Definitely want this. I have the demo on my PSP and staved off buying the full thing. Looks like I got lucky.
– LocoRoco Midnight Carnival. Same as the above, though I’ve never thought of buying the full game even though it’s fun.

I’m torn between getting Hustle King and The Last Guy for my second game. I kinda like pool, but then everyone I know likes zombie apocalypses. LocoRoco for PS3 looks fun too.

Discuss!

I don’t know the details, but seeing as I have 2 accounts (1 EU, 1 JP), I may end up getting 4 games. If that’s the case, then I’m getting them all except for infamous, which I already have. If not, I’ll be picking up LittleBigPlanet and Wipeout HD.

Well since I’m new to PS3 for a few months I will go with Infamous and Little Big Planet just for the fun.

Here are the US details from the PlayStation Blog:

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.
•Dead Nation
•inFAMOUS
•LittleBigPlanet
•Super Stardust HD
•Wipeout HD + Fury

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.
•LittleBigPlanet (PSP)
•ModNation Racers
•Pursuit Force
•Killzone Liberation

Welp, for the PS3 I’m getting inFAMOUS… and that’s it. I already have Dead Nation, LittleBigPlanet, Super Stardust HD and Wipeout HD + Fury. Perhaps I’ll just claim a free copy of LBP anyway just to have on my HDD.

As for the PSP, I’m going with ModNation Racers and Killzone Liberation. I also already got LBP and I have no interest in Pursuit Force.

You guys are lucky. I’d love to have LBP PS3 as my second PS3 game, but PSN Asia’s WB pack lineup won’t be having it.

PS3:

The Last Guy (Chinese/English Version)
Come on, LocoRoco!! BuuBuu Cocoreccho (Chinese/English Version)
Trashbox (Chinese/English Version)
Hustle King (English Version)
WipEout �HD Bundle (English Version)

PSP:

Everybody’s Stress Buster (Chinese/English Version)
LittleBigPlanet™ (Chinese/English Version)
LocoRoco™ -Midnight Carnival- (Chinese/English Version)
Modnation™ Racer PSP� (Chinese/English Version)

Yeah, the Asia lineup kinda sucks for not having LBP. Kinda regret holding off creating that US account now 😛

Ah, I may just choose "The Last Guy" anyway.

Edit: @Smarty: Here’s the EU/UK Lineup:

PS3:
* LittleBigPlanet
* Infamous*
* Wipeout HD/Fury
* Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
* Dead Nation*

PSP:
* LittleBigPlanet PSP
* ModNation PSP
* Pursuit Force
* Killzone Liberation*

It seems that the only difference between the EU and US offering is that they’re throwing in Ratchet and Clank in place of Super Stardust.

And here’s what I can gather about the Japanese lineup out of Google:

PS3
–The Last Guy
–LocoRoco!! BuuBuu Cocoreccho
–Echochrome
–Wipeout HD
–Hustle Kings

PSP
–Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida or2
–Minna no Sukkiri
–Patapon 2
–LittleBigPlanet Portable
–LocoRoco Midnight Carnival

EU doesn’t help me either. I already have Quest for Booty. lol

When I said that I don’t know the details I meant that I don’t know whether I get 2 games per account. Either way, Japan will take a while to go back up so I’ll be grabbing the aforementioned 2.

Probably Ratchet and Clank and Infamous. Everything else doesn’t really interest me.

Edit: The US got a slightly different list, so Ratchet and Clank wasn’t on ours… I guess just Infamous and maybe Dead Nation then.

im skeptical about dead nation.
on one hand, its about zombies.
on the other hand, looks like zombie apocalypse with a different name. and i hated that one.
wipeout is a fucking joke.
super stardust… NO.

while i disliked infamous, might get that one.
and LBP obviously.

not fond of getting digital downloads but theyre free! and my non-existing jew-sense tingles when i hear FREE

wipeout is a fucking joke.
Idk. I thought Wipeout was a rather decent racer. But then again, you guys know me… I also thought FFVIII and FFXIII was epic, and that FFIV and FFVII was overrated 😛

not fond of getting digital downloads but theyre free!
😛 One thing I like about digital downloads is how you don’t need the disc to be in the drive when you play. One thing I don’t like about digital downloads is how to get them 😛 – Downloads are slow, and more than often a game may not be available in the region for stupid reasons.

granted, i only played wipeout on the saturn. and i by lap 2 i was bored to tears.
however, reviews of the other games are not favorable.
dont know/care if this one got great reviews. when i hear wipeout, i hear "horrible".

Hey RAMChyLD,

Perhaps you can clear something up for me.

With this 30-day free trial, if I download some of the "free" games such as Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2, will those games still work after the PNP subscription ends?

Edit: Nevermind…

According to this (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/06/24/playstation-plus-your-questions-answered/), the games will cease to work after the subscription lapses. Lame.

with the free psn month, ill just get what interest me, 100% them, then delete them.

Of course they’ll stop working after the subscription ends…

probably none of them. i have a very slight interest in modnation racers, but thats about it.

Yeah…, the games expire after the subscription ends, then, the best bet is to try to find a good discount in a thing you want to buy.

This part of the service is annoying, is like a game rental, sincerely the Play Station Plus Service is crap for me, for the 30 days free account get some avatars and themes (the most still crap) and game trials, is barely good; but PAY for this "services"? Naaaaa…

:thumbsdown:

Play Station Plus is like some membership cards that cost most than the supposed savings you get with the "discounts"

🙁

Dead Nation is pretty cool, I either own or don’t care about the rest.

well, i ended up getting dead nation and infamous.
why dead nation? because a friend of mine also got it and we are the only ones we know that has it.
