Now that the PlayStation Network is finally being restored, it's time for Sony to make good on its promise of compensatory goodies for affected PSN members, which as previously announced, will include free games, a month of free PlayStation Plus membership and a lot more besides.

Sony Computer Entertainment has revealed what to expect from the 'Welcome Back' appreciation program, with details for both North America and Europe surfacing on their respective PlayStation Blogs.

All PlayStation Network customers can select two PS3 games from the following list of five titles, with some varying depending on territory. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.

  • Dead Nation (Not available for Germany)
  • inFAMOUS (Not available for Germany)
  • LittleBigPlanet
  • WipEout HD + Fury
  • Super Stardust HD (North America and Germany only)
  • Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty (Europe only)
  • Hustle Kings (Germany only)

In addition to these free games, PSN users will also get the following privileges free:

  • A selection of “On Us” rental movie titles will be available to PlayStation Network customers over one weekend, where Video Service is available. Those titles will be announced soon. (North America only)
  • 30 days free PlayStation Plus membership for non-PlayStation Plus subscribers.
  • Existing PlayStation Plus subscribers will receive an additional 60 days of free subscription.
  • Existing Music Unlimited Premium Trial subscription members will receive an additional 30 days of free premium subscription.
  • Additional 30 days + time lost for existing members of Music Unlimited Premium/Basic subscription free of charge for existing Premium/Basic members.
  • To welcome users Home, PlayStation Home will be offering 100 free virtual items. Additional free content will be released soon, including the next addition to the Home Mansion personal space, and Ooblag’s Alien Casino, an exclusive game. (PS Home offer TBC for Europe)

So, there you have it. Now that PSN is in the process of restoration, it'll soon be time to start reaping the rewards for your patience. And it's not a bad selection of freebies, we must say. Keep your eyes peeled for them on the PlayStation Network.

Dead Nation is the only game I don't have, but I don't want it. I don't mind though. I buy every game I want and it's not like they could do this with brand new games, so it was given that this wouldn't bring with it some amazing new games I didn't have. I'm just happy I can sync trophies again:D

Very great choice to put Infamous for free, as Infamous 2 comes next month. It can bring TONS of players into buying the sequel. I'm going to take it when the Store comes back.

For the second game I think I'll take LBP. Dead Nation isn't really my game type. For Wipeout and R&C, I won't take them... As I already have them! :)

What a load of rubbish. Offer a couple of really old games & offer a game that has already been available when signed up to PS +. They took the easy options here imo.

@23, LBP is a lot of fun if you're creative, but since LBP2 is out now I think I'd go with Wipeout.

this is fucking bull shit they lose your details and credit card info and offer such a crap list to choose from.

i own evry single one of those games on ps3 and psp and i'm dam sure i'm not alone SO WHERE IS OUR WELCOME BACK PACK?
any real gamer have these pathetic lists covered but wait SCREW US OVER just as long as some people got something right?
i mean their id credit card details and outage time are more important than the majorities?
how hard was it to just give free credit to all and get what you want.

JUST MY THOUGHTS.

The selection might not be the best - as some says there is a great possibility that you already got one or more of them. For me this is great as I was thinking about trying out inFamous before the sequel is out and was about to buy it yesterday, but decided to get Platinum in Lego Pirates first and that was £18 saved.

But again, there is no need to complain about what Sony offers, we are still getting the oppertunity to get free stuff for a service we don't pay for usually. Yes we've bought this system with knowledge of free online playing, but hacking aside and loss of information, no one has suffered from being offline for a month. And if you think you do then you need to get a life.

so wait what if we didnt have PS+ to begin with and after our free month is over do we lose the free games they let us get for free?

if they let us keep them even if we dont stick with PS+ afterward i might go with inFAMOUS. not sure about the rest honestly. didnt expect much out of the free games.

InFamous and probably Dead Nation for me, and Killzone Liberation and LBP or ModNation on PSP.
For me personally this is a great welcome back package, but I can understand how pissed of you would be if you already owned all these games.

@45 dead nation is very good even better now that they have made some changes and added voice chat its very retro. i have 3 and a half outta the 5 so it will be R&C and Wipeout fury for me altho i aint happy with the list coz there quite old games except for dead nation. if they were choosen old games i would of liked to see warhawk and not so old modnation racers for a bit of multiplayer fun but hey there FREE so its all good.

The 2 PS3 games you get to pick from the list of 5, you get to keep forever. They have nothing to do with PSN+.

The games you get from your 30 subscription of PSN+ will expire however once your 30 day subscription does unless you renew it.

Major disappointment in my eyes, they should have given more options. I understand they cant allow free games from companies they do not own but this is a poor showing for for PS3 then again I guess you just plug the PSP in and take advantage of their games

Anyone know will it be 2/5 games for each user or PlayStation because most people have more than one account?

This isnt so bad. I wish they offered all retail games as the freebies. I wouldnt mind getting Assassins Creed 1 again, or Borderlands. I already have all the games above except for Dead Nation. I guess I was expecting this, at least us PS+ members get 2 more months of subscription, which moves me from October to December.

@20: I suppose PS3T.org left them unlisted because of this being about PS3 games?
@31: It's not a crap list just because you have all the games. Also, no credit card data has still been proven to have been compromised or stolen. Lastly, 77m accounts - they can't really appeal to everyone (even the "free credits" option would have led to complaints).
@35: You could easily check it here, but no, it doesn't.
@38: Well said.
@42: All of these games will be kept. They've confirmed that :)
@44, 51, 58, 60: Your opinion is noted ^^
@62: Free stuff is detailed in the PS blogs (select your region and go check). You get to keep the themes & other media once the sub is over, but games will become unplayable.

To those who already have the games on disc, sell them! You can make money and still keep the game. Stop crying about the list and stfu and be happy that they even gave you something.

What exactly is the content that can be kept forever from PS+? "Themes and other media" could you elaborate and detail this for me? Thanks.

@60 If you were given a free voucher then you could go ahead and buy anything from a third-party developer. Then Sony would have to worry about paying them the difference.

I think we're lucky to get any free games. Asking for something new (although Dead Nation is only about 6 months old) is unrealistic. At least its a varied genre of games.

Personally, I'm pleased as LBP is the only one I have. I think inFamous and Dead Nation for me.

@70: Plus offers free menu themes, wallpapers and avatars. Those can be kept forever :) Games can't, beta & demos probably can't either but I'm not sure on them xD

Geez there are some ungrateful fucks on here, be glad Sony is offering anything, this wasnt their fault they could have just restored everything and givin us nothing, but to show they cared and saying thanks for sticking around they offered up some free stuff, its fuckin free jerkoffs, just take it, anyone expecting some lavish gift from Sony is a moron, you knew it would be something simple.

Nice Sony gave us something, but come on, title from the best sellers list, most people already own......

I would have been just as happy with a $10 credit to PSN to download what I want.

I guess no downloads for me since I already own that I would play from the list.

inFamous for sure and now i have to decide between little big planet and wipeout... decisions decisions. BTW everyone should really quit complaining about the list of games. If you have already played every single one of the games on the list, maybe thats a sign you play too many games and you should go outside or something else more useful than spending every minute in front of your TV. ok, rant is over now :)

Very cool...I dont feel like sony owes me anything, but Ill take it as I dont own any of these games, just feel like they should offer another option for those that do own them.

PS: I would trade all that for some justice on the nerds that caused this.

Pretty crappy, I have every game there.

Maybe I sound ungrateful but if you have every game on the list there really is no Welcome Back Appreciation program. Aside from free movies which may or may not suck. Europe got some games I wish I got though =[ but sadly I'm NA. Would of taken Ratchet and Hustle Kings gladly.

PS+ doesn't mean anything to me, I may get a good couple bucks off a download game but that will be it.

I think I'll download LBP/inFAMOUS and just trade my discs in...Better than nothing.

@76 just because I have the games doesn't mean I don't have other hobbies. I jog, I paint miniatures, I'm married and gaming is my hobby. I don't think it's so unbelievable I would have played these hot ticket games, especially considering I've had my PS3 for awhile. I've bought

what a rubbish collection of games. i already have lbp courtesy of my brother ps+ account, and ive bought the ratchet and clank game and completed it (no trophies though) and ive also bought the wipeout hd pack. so by default its Infamous and Dead Nation.

Dead Nation is sweet! I already Plat'd that and it was enjoyable, especially with a friend plus you now have online chat with it!

I already own them all except for R&C and infamous so i'll probably get those for the sake of it.

To be honest i just want PSStore back online because i've been craving some FFVIII nostalga so i wanna buy it :S

P.S

i should have also noted that these games would have probably cost Sony around £15 - £20 for every user anways so they may as well have given everybody £20 store credit to get what they want.

Not that i'm complaining but that woulda been so much sweeter!

Anyways. Viva La Sony!

Who didn't see this coming?

Old games that most people already have, so welcome back, we'll offer you games you'll mostly likely own on the house.

LOL, the only game I don't own is Hustle Kings and it's only available for German users.

Great Sony, well done! I agree with the poster who said for those who do have these games, it's no welcome back.

Awesome list! Since i already have LBP and infamous i will be downloading Deadnation and startdust HD both games ive wanted to play but never purchased.

Im pretty awestruck at all of the complaining. When XBL went down for two weeks all microsoft gave away was that dusty undertow game... and they pay for that service.

Oh yeah and if your complaining that you already have all the games i would love to hear what you were hoping for. Seriously guys if you have all 5 titles you probably own way more games than the average gamer. It sounds like some people wouldnt have been happy with anything short of Portal 2, La noire, infamous 2....

I enjoyed Wipeout on the ps2 but none of the other games are remotely appealing. Got the Infamous plat, its a good game but I've moved on.

I actually wouldn't mind if PSN was still down, hardly switch it on now.

@90: No, these offers will only work for accounts that were active by April 20th
@92: It was apparently counted that the total worth of the best options out of these all was around 100 dollars
@94: Don't generalize :P

For all you people that feel hard done by for free games any already got them or completed them) (you could trade in your hard copy) and complaining about personal details being compomised every user get 1 free year 'identity fraud protection' details are following as they are working with renowned insurance companies to insure all users from their native countries. Sony didn't have to offer these games for those would thought a $10 or £10 voucher would of been nicer imagine all 77m all brought 3rd party software Sony would have to pay 770m to them to hon

WOW. What an insult. Offer up free games that everyone already owns or had played!? GREAT JOB SONY! Why not let us take our pick of whatever we want just like the hackers did with our personal information. What is it to you, your afraid you will loose legitimate purchases from us if you GIVE us better games? So instead you give us games that everyone has already spent their money on and aren't selling on the shelves anyways. And the free movie rentals of SELECT TITLES through ONE WEEKEND!?!? PLEASE that is an utter slap in the face, what do you want people to do sit down and have an epic movie marathon just because you are only willing to give people two measly days to watch free movies from a selected list of probably crap... This is absolutely the worst possible attempt at "customer app

Oh yeah and if your complaining that you already have all the games i would love to hear what you were hoping for. /quote

I was hoping for one or two PSN games that I don't own already. I don't expect new A+++ titles but I also don't expect titles that anyone who has a PS3 really should have.
LBP1? Come on if you haven't played it by now you just don't have interest in it.
inFAMOUS? It's a plugger for inFAMOUS 2, and again if you wanted to play it you would of by now.

Wipeout HD? Another game if you don't have by now you probably just don't care.

Super Stardust HD? If you don't have that by now you live under a rock because you're missing what is probably the best dual stick shooter in years.

Dead Nation is the exception, I think that's a cool game to offer. It'

@108: First, don't generalize. Second, you obviously have no idea why "free picks" wouldn't work. The devs and publishers need money, Sony can't just let you pick any free game without first asking for the permission of whose games they are.
@109: Not everyone has the money to buy every game they wish to try xD I hadn't gotten Infamous, but now I will. *peeks out from under a rock*
@110: Hopefully you made an account before April 10th then.

@111 I don't disagree not everyone has the $$ to buy every new game retail but with inFAMOUS my main point was inFAMOUS is one of those games many owners do have since it is exclusive. Pretty sure you can buy it dirt cheap as well now lol.
