Sony offering 2 PS3 games as compensation for PSN outage

article published on 9 May, 2011

Although the company has had to delay the resurrection of the PSN, Sony is looking to make amends to frustrated gamers and will offer up two free PS3 games to everyone affected. Users will get to choose the games from a small 5-lot of select titles. For now, it is unclear what those titles will be, however. Additionally, Sony announced last week that it would be offering everyone ... [ read the full article ]

So, if you have both, that's twice the freebies! Sweet!

Gnawinvek: Can you imagine the sheer volume of class-action lawsuits when little Jimmy's mom finds out that her son's free compensation games suddenly vanish after a month? No, Sony aren't that stupid...are they? :p

Besides, you're forgetting about games like Stacking and Red Faction: Battlegrounds, which were free on PSN and never expired, so there are exceptions to the rule.
Good point and good info on Stacking and RF:B, thanks! Looks like PSN+ for a month and two free games are pretty good :)
I always thought that free stuff for PSN+ remain free as long as the subscription is active. Well,there are exceptions, so thanks again for pointing that out!

If you downloaded items when they are/were available and keep your PS+ active you will always have them in your already downloaded list and could re-download them if you deleted/removed it/them from your PS3. I say this because items do rotate out/in for PS+ which is why I always download everything all the time (so as to not miss out on anything), as you don't know if it will come back up/available.

Now if you don't keep your PS+ active then they would still be in your completed list and still be downloadable BUT they wouldn't authorize when installed. Now that is only for certain things, not all, because some things will always be yours whether or not you keep PS+ active like themes, avatars, the free games for the inconvenience of PSN being down etc.
