For us others that still can't access our account, because the website is down... we will wait!

LOL, if you read the comments on the blog people are having their "first game" from the welcome back stolen i.e. they didn't get to choose and was kicked out of the store. Welcome back, err... NOT!

I guess it is some kind of glitch.

Sony really isn't getting a break this time. I'm for hire if they want a professional.

ZombieAssassin5502d ago

Yea it happened to both of mine, oh well though I have about 10 accounts.

Omega Archetype5502d ago

It's a simple fix. go into the Account Management > Transaction Management > Service List > SCEA Promotion.

From there you'll be able to select the disappeared game haha. I did the same thing and was pissed off until I read that on Gamefaqs haha. Worked like a charm!

nickjkl5502d ago

KingDustero5502d ago

Now I come back here and wait 130 minutes for inFamous to download.

I've waited this long, another two hours won't kill me.

DigitalRaptor5502d ago

That's fine, you can just watch a movie meanwhile.

sikbeta5502d ago

:( PS3 bricked here, just the day the welcome back program starts, bad luck for me, it seems like something with the electricity in my house f*cked up the power supply, cos the console was working great, enjoy those games for me :D

nycredude5502d ago

Can be fixed if you have youtube, a heat gun, screwdrivers, torque screwdriver, an hour, and a modicum of technical inclination.

RIPSKATEDESTROY5502d ago

or if you have matches, a lizard, 3 dragoneye balls, 2 fire ants and a .... no wait... thats a macgyver episode

xTruthx5502d ago

I got error in each one lol, I see none of the games i picked up for download or on xmb and the options to choose ps3 game 1,2 are gone

xTruthx5502d ago

If your having the same prob as me or similar, do this

1) Go to the XMB
2) Account Management
3) Transaction Management
4) Services List
5) SCEA(The first one most likely)

and then select your games there

LOGICWINS5502d ago

Hmmm...just read it. It seems there are no regulations for multiple account users. I have four accounts in four different countries...guess that means four months of PS Plus :)

Oner5502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

Actually wouldn't it still be 1 month? I could see maybe 2 months when the JP PSN comes back up but everywhere else would be IN the same month so you aren't really playing for 4 months since they all basically line up (again that is if JP PSN comes up say today).

LOGICWINS5502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

According to the Blog,

The 30 days of PS Plus begins when you ACCESS it, meaning that it will ALWAYS be there UNTIL you access it.

I have an EU account, JP account(whenever it comes back), US account, and an Indian account. From what I understand, I could very well get four months of PS Plus.

GamerSciz5502d ago

Actually read a little closer. It begins when you access it however you only have until July 3rd to access it. So you can get 2 months free at most if you access it from one account today and another on july 3rd. It is not there indefinitely.

LOGICWINS5502d ago

Oh okay thanks. Well at least I gt two months for free. I wonder if PS Plus has different content in different countries.

Dart895502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

F*** yea.

Edit:I can't seem to choose my games to download i was only able to get KZL can anyone help me??

TrevorPhillips5502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

Thank you Sony :)

To those people that are having issues downloading, I think it may be because of alot of PS3 users downloading at once, traffic. I Think.

zeeshan8105502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

Big Sean! boii lol

Finally Sony, Thanks!

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle58d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7758d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde65d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy65d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12565d ago (Edited 65d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7767d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga66d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199266d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga66d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman66d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger66d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box67d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion66d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7267d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7566d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit66d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14966d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7766d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
