Sony’s ‘Welcome Back’ package, consisting of two PS3 titles, two PSP titles, and a free month of PlayStation Plus membership, was released to the public roughly two weeks ago, with mixed reactions all-around. Some loved the selection of games offered, some hated them, however, through this ‘Welcome Back’ package, Sony managed to reinvigorate the online community for a particular title, adding a ton more value to a game released over 2 years ago.

All of my friends are back too so can't have pissed that many people off.
especially the leader boards layout
that's innovations man
I'm still not able to reactivate my main account, but that's Sony Brasil mess, SCEA already game me the support they could but Sony Brasil isn't moving on with the process... Anyway, I have many friends on the same situation, so on ¨minor¨ markets probably there's a considerabel ammount of people not so happy. At least all my foreign accounts are ok so we keep gaming (and in the end, that's what matters... still missing those 1400+ trophies through).
To prevent people from exploting PSN the one account with my real adress is the one I can't get back to work... Oh the irony.
Anyway, I'm not pissed, the welcome back program and, specially, the free month on PS+ more than paid off for any frustration, I already decided to be a subscriber once the free month ends, I'll just wait 'till my account is reactivated or terminated for once as they announced the store for my region on E3, coming 'till october, but no confirmation of Plus or PS Cards for my region, so I'll wait and see if it's worth getting an American sibscription or if a local one will be viable, and if I'll had to make another brazilian account or keep my main one.
Just know what you are getting into...its easily the toughest racing game i've played this generation...trophy hunting in that game is a pipe dream, with several of them being simply the most difficult single trophies i've yet to come across on the PSN...Especially considering nearly every trophy has nothing to do with grinding (save the livery trophies)...but the arcade perfect, zone 75 trophies, sixaxis zone trophy, etc...are simply ridiculous...
love the game though...
Man I'm sorry to hear that, truly, and feel really bad for you that psn main account is down in Brasil.
Guess they had to make money somewhere
I love how all the sony fanboys give sony a pat on the back for the network breach. :(
what has the world come to?
and what are you up to? Sony definitely screwed up with the PSN outage but they certainly are trying hard to redeem trust by giving out A LOT of free stuff! what's more satisfying for gamers than getting free games? I don't know about you but I'm a gamer and I have got ALL their free offerings due to multiple accounts and I'm one happy gamer!
quit your bitching already! shit happens and what's important is that it has passed and now I have too many games in hand and I only spent 3 weeks worth of no PSN which I paid nothing for!
hate sony all you want but I've never got these many free games from anyone EVER!
Just because you never paid for the network does not make it justfied that the breach was ok nor does it make it ok that it was down this long.
How are free games not good for us..? And I'm tired of people blaming Sony for the hack job, as if they do it themselves. Are you also going to blame codemasters and the Spanish police for being hacked too? At least they were kind enough to give out free GOOD games.. Move on and leave it behind
but Infamous is way better. I'm loving that game.
who cares if you have to subscribe in order those free games
well,they're FREE ,so there shouldn't be any complaint at all
There's just SO many people playing Burnout now it's incredible, online is thriving and everyone is loving the game as well.
I've even got back into Burnout after literally burning myself out with the game 2 years ago (finishing everything there was to do with the game) before the trophy patch came out, once the patch was out I tried to give it another go with a fresh save but the motivation wasn't there. Now that it's been a couple of years I've really got the need for speed and crashing, burning and collecting everything again!
But since installing the game last week I've put 6.5 hours in, that's just in pick up and play sessions.
All up I've only done 23 events, everything else has consisted of getting unassisted Smashes (364/400), Billboards (95/120) and Jumps (36/50).
SOOOO ADDICTING!
Wipeout is great, that Fury expansion, should have bought it on release day, is da sht
I love this game, it's close to the perfect game for me, love the soundtrack and the gameplay.
Best mode is ZONES, everything about it is just so stylish and awesome, from the equalizer in the track and the voice that tells you the zone, SUPER RAPIER!!, so, so cool.
There's really no other way to describe it, its not got the best graphics out there (although really nice) but you won't find a cooler game than this one.
My mission is to get to SUPERSONIC!!!!
And inFamous is part of this Welcome Back Package, so I don't know what you're getting at...
I felt like playing it today and reached Zone 75 (and then BOOM) on Anulpha Pass even though I hadn't played for a few months, and it still brings the same feeling of joy and amazement I had the first time I did it.
Everything about it is perfect: the soundtrack, the graphics, the fact that it runs at 60fps/1080p... And to think it was released in 2008...
I just hope WipEout 2048 will blow my mind just as HD did in 2009, and cross platform online play will surely help getting more people to play together.
The only regret I have about that game is that they didn't make a second expansion pack after Fury to bring more classic tracks and ships from previous games (WipEout Fusion deserves more love).
Edit: I really wonder why HD didn't get the player love it deserved. Sure it wasn't on blu-ray (at first), but it was 4 times cheaper than other PS3 titles and its only DLC made the game 2 times bigger O_o
It sure gave you your money's worth.
