So do we get any of this stuff today and some as the days progress? I'm downloading the updates needed on my ps3 at this moment.

 

[iron.jedi83]

sweetness LittleBigPlanet time to make me some Marvel sackboys

 

[Kuzeh]

Interesting...
Already have LBP and Infamous, so might get Dead Nation and maybe Whipeout...
we'll see!

 

[NosferatuBill36]

Just sent my PS3 away. Again. Maybe they'll decide to fix it this time.

Good news on the free stuff Sony is giving away.

My roommate STILL cannot sign on to PSN. Apparently Sony is having a large volume of people access the "change password website" and it's stopping him(and many others) from getting on.

 

[BuffyGirl]

I was able to change my password, but that's it. Still not store. That part is down. Boo. And I fully read it this time. 30 days after it's restored. Okie.

 

[NosferatuBill36]

I was able to change my password, but that's it. Still not store. That part is down. Boo.

On his PS3, I keep getting the screen that shows this:

"Enter the following letters and numbers in the box below:"

I then enter the numbers/letters.

I then click "continue."

I then get a screen that says this:
There is a problem resetting your password. Please click the link again or copy and paste the link into an Internet browser.

I've done that. Numerous times. With a Sony rep on the phone. Even they have no idea what's going on. The rep just said try again in a few hours. It's been 6. The email with the password expire in 4 hours. I will then have to get another email.



My roommate is ready to sell his PS3. He's currently deployed in Bahrain.

Once I get my PS3 back, Sony better hope to hell they fixed it. Or I'll be selling it as well.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Hmm....nice. I'll be downloading Little Big Planet for the PSP.
Is Infamous worth getting?? I know it's free, but I don't want it if the game sucks.

 

[plasmid303]

It's pretty smart of them to include InFamous, seeing as the sequel is due out this summer.

I think I'll pick Wipeout and Dead Nation.

Is Infamous worth getting?? I know it's free, but I don't want it if the game sucks.

I liked it a lot! It's one of the better superhero games out there, just without the licensed superhero.

 

[Lord Aykroyd]

Sorry if this is already in the thread somewhere - I heard sony will also be giving out a year of identity protection? Any idea how we enroll?

 

[Matt S]

I'll be curious as to the specifics myself, though have yet to see any unusual activity on my CC that I had on file via psn

 

[Kabukiman]

Now there is no excuse for any of you to not get Little Big Planet.

 

[d_jedi1]

well, there might be ONE excuse (being that we already have it)

and I know what you meant but I had to go there

 

[Shropt]

So if we have a PS3 and a PSP do we get 4 games free?

 

[Karma]

So if we have a PS3 and a PSP do we get 4 games free?

yes

 

[Shropt]

Well dang. As long as I don't need to give them CC info then I am happy.

 

[mfoga]

Well dang. As long as I don't need to give them CC info then I am happy.

Get a one time card number from your CC then use that.

 

[THX-182]

Hopefully I can download the free stuff before it's attacked and taken down again.

 

[Shropt]

Get a one time card number from your CC then use that.

My CC doesn't provide that.

 

[Solidus]

I was so bummed last year when I missed out on the $9.99 Infamous deal at Amazon on Black Friday. Now, I can get it for free!! Mwha ha ha ha!!
