Has it really expired?! I thought it was in July, so I wasn't worrying about it just yet, as I definitely didn't have the quota to download Infamous :\

You should of got an email about it.
The "What's New" thing under PlayStation Network did say about the Welcome Back package.

Just add it to your download queue and pause it.
Plus if it's in your download history then there is nothing to worry about.

I thought that there was one month before it expired? So you should still have a couple weeks left. I know you can still chose the Welcome Back option in the store (or atleast it was there when I was on today.)

I know, but I was too lazy to go and update the PS3 and stuff, considering I pretty much never play it anymore.

Sorry guys, someone told me time had expired on June 14th to download the free games. But last night I downloaded one without any issues, so I was misinformed.

I thougth we had till July? Pain in the butt for me cause the PSP doesn't work with modern wi-fi autentication standards. As far as I know, you can't redeem the PSP games via Media Go or the PS3 store. So I need to change my router settings in order to get the PSP free games!

Wireless set to WPA2? I used AnyWPA setting but then I have to miss out on DS online. Can't see why Sony doesn't just update the psp to support WPA2.

That's interesting...
Hustle Kings' game icon had the game title written in another language but after I played the game, it changed the game title on the icon to English.
Don't know if this was cause I played it or cause I updated it or both.

I just tried on the AU store. Can't even find the games for the '2 free' on the store. The welcome back section only has the PLUS trial. Trying the 'account managment', 'service list', it only gives me a list of PS3 games. I defn have a valid PSN PSP account.
Gah, Sony is SO annoying. I guess I'll have to change my wireless settings so my PSP can connect and register the games directly on my PSP.

Yeah you have to do it on your PSP I'm afraid, once you start the download on your PSP, you can download it on PS3 and USB it over however.

The other option is to use your PC and MediaGO to access the PSP store on your PC, download and then transfer...

Tried that. You can't see any of the free games via Media Go.

I can't access them through Media Go either and I also don't have a wireless internet connection. I can live without the PSP games, none of them really appeal to me but it's still a bit frustrating that after all this time I can't access the account management site which has been under maintenance for weeks.

Hey guys, I've just had a problem with Justice Force on the PSP and just wondering if anyone has this problem.
I've downloaded it off the US PSN store, and loaded it onto my PAL psp. For some reason, the game just seems to freezes on the screen where it has the logo of the game, and doesn't seem to respond to any button (apart from the home button). Has anyone else had this problem.

| Euro PS Blog wrote: | PlayStation Home: Your Welcome Back Content
We are pleased to announce that this week we will be releasing the PlayStation Home Europe Welcome Back package. As a big thank you for your patience during the recent PSN outage and to welcome you back to PlayStation Home, we’re giving you early access to a package of brand new content, available for you to download absolutely free from 30th June to 28th July 2011. The total value of the package is over €85 / £65** and consists of the following:
- Anime Style Apartment
- Anime themed clothing and furniture sets
- Paris Modern Office furniture set
- nDreams Big Bash party bundle
- nDreams Fantasy Fashion and Funkster costumes
- Aurora OrbRunner Booster Bundle
- A cuddly Stitchkins Bunny Toy from Lockwood
- A Midway Green ticket (50 plays)
- Cardboard Cartel Furniture from Codeglue
- Fortune Cookie active item
- A selection of Tops, Shirts, Skirts, High-top trainers and glasses
- Go Fish – a new, free-to-play fishing game based in the Shopping Centre
With the exception of Go Fish, all of the above will be available in Home Square.
The Anime apartment consists of a control station and launch pad, set amongst a bustling cyber-punk cityscape – combined with matching furniture and outfits, it’s perfect for the otaku in all of us!
Following on from our recent Paris Clock Tower and furniture releases, the Paris Modern Office Set will add a contemporary and professional look to any personal space.
The huge 22 item nDreams Big Bash party bundle is essential for throwing a fantastic party in your apartment including working smoke machines, balloons, lights, seats, presents, food and drink. There are three gorgeous highly-detailed additions to the popular Fantasy Fashion range, consisting of male and female ‘Savages’ costumes plus a female ‘Amazonian Tribal’ costume. Strike fear into your foes or simply show off your Amazonian figure – it’s up to you. For something a little more groovy, there are two Funkster costume bundles.
Also from nDreams this week, Aurora 1.1 is the first major update to the beautiful Aurora space, and includes the nDreams Collect-O-Rama, more rewards, an Auroralite Hoody, daily XP bonuses, a teaser for Aurora 1.2 (coming soon!) and a few other changes and fixes. The Collect-O-Rama allows players to win a mega pack containing 7 unique items including two bodyguard companions and the enormous Flying Donut of Death! The Orb Runner Booster bundle is available as part of the Welcome Back package and will give you that extra edge on the Orb Runner minigame.
Go Fish is a brand new free-to-play fishing game, taking up residence in the Shopping Centre. Every player receives a free aquarium to place in your apartment and show off your collection. Cast off and wrestle with a variety of exotic fish ranging from the Psychedelic Leery to the Toxic Moofty and the Tribal Tatsnarf. Catch them all and receive the coveted Underwater Apartment absolutely free!
Other items in the Welcome Back package include a Green Ticket, allowing 50 plays in the ever popular Midway carnival, a cute and cuddly Stitchkin toy from Lockwood and a selection of Codeglue cardboard furniture that gives a whole new meaning to ‘shabby chic’. There’s also the wisdom of an interactive fortune cookie, plus a wide selection of casual clothing for those looking to update their wardrobe.
Elsewhere in PlayStation Home this week, Lockwood celebrate the Global Launch of Sodium 2 with a bonanza batch of content. Soft woollen clothing, Sodium-salvaged modern metal furniture and a smooth 50′s Diner set Cucumber-style!
Remember those cheesy nineties knitwear fashion campaigns? You know, the black and white ones with people checking their watches on windswept beaches wearing cream cable-knit cardigans. Those days are gone. Lockwood brings the humble sheep’s fleece up to date with chic hooded dresses and smart wool trousers paired with shawl neck jumpers.
The 1950s are also given a reboot in the latest Cucumber furniture set. If you’re looking to create an apple pie perfect slice of Americana in your apartment, then this is what you need.
Sodium’s salvage specialists are also recycling, but they’ve assembled Sentry Chairs and their accompanying tables from tank parts and hover discs rather than vintage diner seats and counters. Old children’s toys are becoming the most sought after ornaments in Sodium, with mint condition Drilldozers selling for a pretty penny on the black market. Don’t buy from some guy you met in Scorpio’s – pick one up in the store for a fair price.
And as if all that isn’t enough, head to Sodium2 this weekend for a double XP extravaganza! For a limited time only you’ll be able to work your way up the ranks twice as fast. |

Although I said July 5, and I definitely read July 5 at the start of the welcome back package....I don't think you can download the games anymore?
I press x on the 'Welcome back package' and it won't take me to the next set of menus when I click on the 5 game icon picture, it's just sits there. It let me actuvate my Playstation + account last night, but it won't let me activate my second game. Was waiting a while until my bandwidth was reset. I already have Dead Nation but it wonj't let me download another.

Same sort of thing, need to access it through the service list.

Wait, so they're releasing a "welcome back package" for a service that nobody used anyway because it's a complete load of burning crap?
