With the PlayStation Network back on track after nearly a month of being down after being hacked, Sony is now making good on their promise of the PlayStation Network Welcome Back Program. An attempt to apologize for the down time, the program includes 2 free game downloads for PS3 (your choice of Dead Nation, inFAMOUS, Little Big Planet, Super Stardust HD, or Wipeout HD + Fury), 2 free game downloads for PSP (your choice of Little Big Planet (PSP), ModNation Racers, Pursuit Force, or Killzone Liberation), and some free usage of the PlayStation Plus service (30 days for those not already signed up or 60 free days for those who were already subscribing at the time of the hack).
The PlayStation Network Welcome Back Program will be active through July 3, giving you enough time to decide which of the freebies you want. I don’t have a PSP, but opted for inFAMOUS and Wipeout HD + Fury for PS3. Let us know which games you are getting.
