Will Playstation’s “Welcome Back” Appreciation Program be enough for you?

Sony is telling everyone that the Playstation Network should be seeing functionality return within the week for certain services. They will be implementing a phased roll out during the first week in May. In a post on the Playstation blog they announced that we will see a return of during the initial phase.

I, like any normal human gamer, am glad to know the PSN will be back up. All the bullcrap that the media wants to make up can shove it. Turning a good thing into another problem. Like the news today on bin Lade. Headlines reading OSAMA DEAD BUT THE WAR WILL GO ON, or IS OSAMA'S DEATH GOING TO END THE TERRORISM? It's crap like this that keeps the world from peace. Media is the number one reason that happiness is overshadowed by misery, and that is cause misery gets the ratings. I have not seen one article that says "YEAH FOR PSN!, IT'S COMING BACK!" or "PS3 GAMERS CAN BE HAPPY TO GAME ONLINE AGAIN!" Just BS articles to brew up fear and doubt. What ever. I will just be happy to sync up my trophies for the SP of Portal 2 and Mass Effect 2.

tehpees35492d ago

I completely agree. it is enough for me. Sony try their best to keep the network as safe as it can be. I wonder how people would have reacted if it was xbox live that was hacked

its just the typical internet reaction. these journalists coming on putting a spin on something. PSN is a safe as it can be. the fact is the hackers took advantage of a situation that people were aware of at the time. they struck while the iron was hot

Istanbull5491d ago

Why won't it be enough? They're already doing everything they can, you should be glad you get anything free from Sony in the first place!

Perjoss5491d ago

I dont really mind what they do, the PSN downtime has not affected me too much as I hardly use my PS3 apart from the odd exclusive game.

To be honest it would be enough already if they just provide more security from now on, I really don't care about the rest, just want to be safe with me data there.

Jac5al5492d ago

I just want PSN back online.

ThatCanadianGuy5492d ago

I know right.I could care less about anything else, just let me freakin play DCUO again.Im craving it!

Although, just had an idea! It would be pretty cool if they gave Warhawk away as a free download to everyone on PSN.I mean..let's be honest, the game is a few years old, doubt its bringing in much revenue now.Would be a great way to say sorry, get more fans for warhawk & lead to a great starhawk reveal mid-may (supposedly)

Vherostar5492d ago

I agree and they didnt even have to do a welcome pack the fact any site says is it good enough shows how biased they can be. It's not like people pay for PSN is it? I mean sure I get PS+ but with monthly updates only it doesn't really affect plus members.

Baba19065492d ago

agree, i just want to play k3 again. dont care about the free stuff, its cool though.

Dazel5492d ago

While my daughter will be glad to play LBP2 again, Sony can go #@$% themselves as far as I'm concerned. They've caused me to much hassle and I might play games purchased in a shop, I will NEVER trust them with my credit card details.

rustyspoon805492d ago

Then just use a pre-pay PSN card. They're usually cheaper the their PSN value so you save money.
I for 1, have been lost in Fallout: New Vegas so haven't missed online.

KwietStorm_BLM5491d ago

So then just game and don't worry about your credit card. What's the problem? Gaming isn't a pay to play service.

Dazel5491d ago

My problem is having to cancel my credit card and juggle my finances just before I went away on holiday because Sony dropped the ball.

fedexas5491d ago

Direct your anger at the hackers that did this. No matter how secure a network may be, it's not immune against attacks. The blame should not be completely placed on Sony.

PlayerX5492d ago

Not really. It's a cheap marketing ploy.

OmegaSlayer5492d ago

Yes, much more than they had to do, since Sony was victim as well.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5820d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905820d ago (Edited 5820d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5820d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5820d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495820d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5820d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5820d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
