You're right. From what I read, the games have to be redeemed within 30 days from when the store goes back online. So they'll be ready for us to pillage tomorrow!!!
Logical thought(me and DarkTower): The reason behind the delay in having the store come back is for updates, new content, and ensuring that all PSN users can have access to the free goodies.
Why would Sony make us wait 30 days before getting the free goodies?
"Want to know what is coming to the PlayStation Store this week?" -- Hopefully the ability to connect to it. PSN went down only about a week after I bought my PS3, so it would be nice to go on there and download some demos.
And if Sony just gave me some cash in my wallet instead, then i would be able to appreciate some of these games, but not just old games i already own :(
Here's hopping the PSN+ give me some good discounts
giving let's say 15$. and you have like 4 accounts. that makes you 60$ to spend on anything. Sony would lose too much money if you could choose everything you wanted.
I'm sure they've prepared as best they can. I heard of PSN going down for a bit a short time after going back up, but it didn't affect me, I stayed signed in.
Still likely though - there's going to be massive traffic.
Heck yea gatlin gears, outland, and free games here i come. I just got a bada** 3 pack from best buy it has uncharted, tomb raider underworld, and mercineries 2 all for 30 bucks to help charity i guess so i jumped on that even though i beat un it was a great deal. I tried the infamous 2 demo and it was pretty awesome, even played some more kinect, good times. The free ps plus might make me try a year myself if theres some good stuff on there. Bring on the GAMES!!!
Beyond good and evil, outland and Under siege...thats all I'm looking forward to...oh and Motorstorm demo, it might make me decide to get the game or not.
Hey atleast the wait for black ops dlc wont b too long. Mainly, I can't wait for my pre order content for la Noire,dead space 2 ignition for the conduit rooms, and crysis 2 dlc.
I hope it comes back tomorrow. I prefer to be hopeful that it will then be negative and say that it probably won't.It would be cool if it did but if not I will wait until the end of the month.
UPDATE: Playstation Store is currently offline and no blogs on PS have stated anything remotely about when exactly the store may be up. This is just like those nightmarish days when the PSN was down and people were throwing fake dates all over the place for it's return only to excite and disappoint in the long run. Pay attention to the blog or...watch TheGunnShop on youtube, the dude has some inside info for sure.
any bets to whether sony make loads of money because people have missed the store, i knoiw i want loads from the store like under siege and beyond good and evil hd
This is BS! I have so much to download from all the games I bought that I can't even do it because the damn store isn't even up yet until next year! SONY has had alot of time on this and yet they either report something as saying soon or don't report anything at all, what kind of BS is that?!?!
EU playstation blog have confirmed that the store will not be up either today or tomorrow. They have confirmed that they are hoping to have it up by the end of May.
Looks like some of you should start listening to the facts rather than rumours.
Fact #1: Sony already started adding the free PSN+ time to accounts, why do it if it's not gonna be up for another week? They will have to add another week if they screw this up.
Fact #2: Sony can't even meet their own deadlines. Don't listen and trust to anything, even if they're the one to say it, it's likely they are wrong themselves.
Fact #3: Sony are incredibly stupid. The fact that they have handled this situation so poorly and that they are taking this long to bring something like PSN up is proof of itself. Anyone knowing anything about security could have brought PSN, store included 10 times faster.
It's my day off tomorrow, so if it truly is back then I'll be enjoying:
inFamous, LBP, Dead Nation, Wipeout HD, Ratchet & Clank, Red Faction demo, Motorstorm Apocalypse demo, PS+ discounts and the usual Killzone 3 & Metal Gear Online.
I might need to stock up on Caffeinated beverages and nachos for this one. Multiple PSN accounts = win.

No...
They will be available for download for 30 days ONCE and DURING the store's First update...
I haven't even bothered checking the store. I figured it would be plastered on this site once it was.

It's a rumour. Don't believe everything you read
Hopefully it will be up by noon. Less people up and traffic won't be as heavy as if they do it in the middle of the day.
Also, are the free game downloadable?
I thought they said it was impossible to make LBP a downloadable game.
I'll be up for a few more hours.
But they'll all be pretty huge
Sony already came out to say that the store coming back tomorrow was just a rumor.
