PSN restore begins May 15; Firmware 3.61 drops

[mic-dk]

Yay, back on-line now. Just in time for me to go to work

[jesse9705]

Its working i just can't fully access cause it's undergoing matenince

[Frailavi]

Frailavi, maybe sony read your comments when you was sympathising with the hackers...
I signed out earlier and then i couldn't sign back in!! "maintenance" but i just tried a few tiimes in a row and i got back on!

I was merely defending people who were being blindly accused of false things! Sony is being mean to me.

[KGB]

Just up

Edit: I'm getting a page not found on the link now, it was working.

For ps3 users it gave you the option of downloading 2 of 5 games once the store is back up.

Infamous
Little Big Planet
Some Ratchet and Clank game
Dead Nation
Wipeout HD/Fury

[Amorbis]

That's a much better list than I was expecting. I was thinking they would give us Pain and Super-Rub-A-Dub type games, which would have been fine, but this is good stuff! I look forward to getting Infamous/Dead Nation and Ratchet and Clank.

The inclusion of WipEout should also do wonders for the online activity. Hopefully the number of people playing will be close to the time Fury came out.

[KGB]

The fact that they pulled it so quickly makes you think that something wasn't right with the list. I can't remember the psp list apart from killzone and maybe LBP. Good for HD though, should be busy for a while.

[Sausehuhn]

Hm … I don’t like the small print:

For the German market, InFamous and Dead Nation will be replace with Super Stardust HD and Hustle Kings in the selection of PS3 games.
[…] Pursuit Force and Killzone Liberation will be replaced with Everybody’s Golf 2 and Buzz Junior Jungle Party in the selection of PSP games. […]

[Aeralys]

They actually are giving HD for free download?! Ha awesome! Regardless, the Lobby had quite a lot of rooms open today, I actually had to scroll down to see them all which is a first for me I think xD

[Darkdrium777]

Wow these are old games. Eh. It's cool for WipEout but I was expecting something a little more up to date.

[yusik]

Awesome that WO/Fury is on the list, should populate the servers.

Looking forward to free Dead Nation and inFamous

[mic-dk]

Hm … I don’t like the small print:

Indeed. What have you done to deserve special treatment? I too find the titles a bit old, but now I finally get the opportunity to try LBP

[MegaGeeza22]

Agreed! im also getting LBP! I will also be getting Infamous... But im sooo glad wipeout HD & Fury will be free!!
Nobody will get kicked out of the lobby for not owning the fury dlc!! and millions of new pilots!! (maybe)

[KGB]

Hm … I don’t like the small print:

I read somewhere that Germany does not allow free 18+ content on the psn. Do you have another account from another country, you can probably download two from that one as well?

Potential 77 million accounts can get hold of wipeout HD for free. Even if you have all the games on offer, I would say it's a good result for wipeout fans.

Edit: Totally massive result infact

[Colonel]

It's an excellent result for Wipeout fans, wish this had happened six months ago. Not sure what games I'm gonna get (I only have Wipeout on that list).

Can anyone recommend any of them?

[KGB]

Infamous is a great game, I would recommend everyone getting that one. I had LBP but got rid of it as it didn't grab me at the time, the lag online was awful when I had it, I'm sure they got that fixed though. I think I will get it again and ratchet and clank....for the kids of course

[Constrictor]

Indeed. What have you done to deserve special treatment?

Well, we're all pussies by choice - we play LBP, vote Green party, (will) drive noiseless eCars and have our black forrest paved with wind power plants

[Colonel]

Just had a thought. Will the Wipeout servers be able to cope with such a massive influx of players? I mean if just 10% of people choose Wipeout, that's 7 million! Surely the Wipeout HD servers weren't made for anything like that many people online at once.

I wonder if this is why the leaderboards are down at the moment, could it be that Studio Liverpool are doing maintenance in preparation for all the new players?

This could see Wipeout HD go through the roof!

[mic-dk]

Well, we're all pussies by choice - we play LBP, vote Green party, (will) drive noiseless eCars and have our black forrest paved with wind power plants

I'm getting LBP and I just bought a new german car. I guess I'm just a windmill away from loosing my ManCard

[Constrictor]

Mic, I hope your new car has some big firggin' bad-as staight six, TT or something power plant!

btw, in this case the windmill is for free and won't void your Danish-MANcard. (in caps!)

[jesse9705]

Is the PS store back up anywhere,i want it too get up so i can finnaly play Wipeout HD,
