Now that certain PSN services have been restored and you’re once again enjoying online gaming, it seems a good time to confirm what is being offered as part of the Welcome Back programme.
Once we restore PlayStation Store, which will be just a little while longer, you will have the opportunity to claim your Welcome Back gifts. Please note that the Welcome Back programme is only available for those countries with access to PlayStation Store*.
All existing PlayStation Network members will be able to access the following from PlayStation Store*:
Two PS3 games from the following list:
LittleBigPlanet
Infamous*
Wipeout HD/Fury
Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
Dead Nation*
For those with PSP accounts, you will also be eligible to download two PSP games from the following list:
LittleBigPlanet PSP
ModNation PSP
Pursuit Force
Killzone Liberation*
- 30 days free PlayStation Plus membership for non PS Plus subscribers*
- Existing PlayStation Plus subscribers will be given 60 days free subscription.
- For existing Music Unlimited subscribers, you will be given 30 days free subscription.
- We are working on a Welcome Back offer in PlayStation Home and will share that when it is confirmed.
I would like to thank all of the developers and publishers involved in this programme for their support in making this happen. We certainly couldn’t have done it without you.
You will be able to access this content once PlayStation Store comes back online and we are doing everything we can to make that happen as soon as possible.
Thank you for your support and keep checking back on the blog for more information.
For eligibility for the welcome back programme consumers must be an account holder on 20 April 2011. Specific details about these offers and eligibility requirements will be posted as the services go live. All existing PSN registrants have 30 days from when the welcome back programme goes live to redeem their content.
For the German market, InFamous and Dead Nation will be replace with Super Stardust HD and Hustle Kings in the selection of PS3 games.
For the German market, Pursuit Force and Killzone Liberation will be replaced with Everybody’s Golf 2 and Buzz Junior Jungle Party in the selection of PSP games. Killzone Liberation will not offer online gameplay functionality.
Access to the 30 days free PS Plus subscription is only available for those countries where PS Plus is offered. You will have access to the PS Plus content planned for May for 30 days. Access to the free games and exclusive features finishes at the end of the 30-day subscription period. Anything you buy with exclusive discounts, dynamic themes and premium avatars are yours to keep forever.

Sony's PlayStation Network headaches continue to mount, with the discovery of an exploit on the company's website. In response to the issue, which allowed unauthorized users to reset PSN account passwords, Sony has temporarily shut down access to accounts on its site.

Eurogamer says it saw the exploit in action via a live demonstration after it was reported on by Nylevia. Essentially, hackers with access to the e-mail address associated with an account and the account holder's birthdate could reset the password, blocking the original user from accessing his account.

Sony has shut down that functionality on its site, and posted a statement simply saying that the server is currently down for maintenance. There's no word on how long it will be until it's restored.

[Niall]

Well done Sony!

I see that month and a half period you took to make everything secure was very productive!

[Scarlett.]

They really are just being plain dumb now

[Niall]

Ikr.

[King Gizzard]

Some people on my twitter were saying/retweeting people who had people log in on their accounts

There is only one answer

Spoiler:

[Niall]

That's the old Xbox. New Xbox >>>>



*Has new Xbox + Kinect*

[King Gizzard]

old xbox is classic and i will never get rid of it

[Niall]

But the old one gets red rings.

[King Gizzard]

I've had mine since 06/07 and have had no RRoD

[Niall]

You'll get them soon.

[LaLaLand]

Definitely going to be getting Little Big Planet and R&C!

[King Gizzard]

i'm going to get the playstation 1 and get all the tony hawks games

[Stu]

They are really, really dated. Tried that a few months ago. Sure THPS3 onwards are all backwards compatible on the Xbox. Get them.

[Niall]

Playstation Store is back up! You can get your free PSN+ and games now. I'm downloading Infamous atm.

[Doogle]

I thought it was down again?!

By the way Niall, what's your PSN name?

[Niall]

No that was just another Sony website that got hacked.

My PSN is: Niall50 (very unique, I know ) .

Oh ahaha. I don't care about other Sony stuff. I just panicked thinking it was PSN.

And haha yeah very good name. Mine was Doogle3097 (duh) but then I made myself too young and couldn't play COD online, so yah it's Doogle_666 now.

Some prick in Year 8 stalks me around school shouting "DOOGLE_666" and calls me a nerd for having a PSN account, yet he's on it every day just to see if I'm online, and I go on my PS3 like once a month.
