PSA: Sony's Welcome Back package expires Sunday

@Vidaluko Don't we get an extra 10 days..? I haven't made use of mine yet

@Vidaluko Well, if you activated you ps+ the day the welcome back program was released, then yep.

I activated it on the 24th so I still got plenty of PS+ and althought I still think it's a bit expensive, I've enjoyed the free games and the 60 min, trials.

@Vidaluko Don't forget early beta and demo access. Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta really made this worth it.

@Vidaluko

Yeah, not worth it outside of the early beta for UC3.

@Mazrael *not got around to playing the PS3 games yet

@Hivetyrant

Can't you "purchase" them online or something?

@Acosta02 Or go to a friends house who has internet?

@Hivetyrant

You just have to get them attached to your account by Sunday. You can download them whenever you want.

So I'd beg, steal or borrow an internet connection to get that done, ASAP.

@Crzycracka
So you mean "games that no one was ever interested in"? That would've gone over quite well.

@Crzycracka Comparing sales figures to total consoles sold it's barely 9% for most of them.

@Crzycracka

Yeah, it's too bad, most people active involved in gaming already had all these. The only ones I personally didn't were the PSP titles which I wasn't going to get anyhow (seeing as how I haven't even finished Peace Walker yet speaks volumes as to how disinterested I've become with that unit).

@dakoe3
me too. I got them all. wooooooooo.

@KupoCheer It's under services. Just dig through the menus until you find it. I had a network error during mine so I had to look up the method.

@KupoCheer

You can always use an alternate account to grab the "missing" title(s). That's what happened to me on one of Little Big Planet for the PSP.

It only helps though if your alternate account pre-dates the PSN outage.

@The Only Girl

Yep. My buddy still can't change his password and thus can't login to claim his swag.

What is being done about all that?

@GreenElf

Is the console the original one that the PSN account was made on?

Say for example you bought a slim when you had a older fat ps3 and threw that one out.

If that's the case, you will probably have to phone sony about that.

@SpiderPrime I've phoned them and their answer was basically "we don't know what's going on, they told us it would be up weeks ago. Sorry!" I'm guessing people who got locked out because sony had the foresight to put the password recovery into maintenance mode right after PNS went back up will be unable to get any of the swag they're offering.

@DrDrew Pinsky PSN* whatever, i don't care.

@SpiderPrime

He only ever had a PSP. He has never had another PSN capable device. Until this situation he had never logged in via the website, or anything else either.

We tried to log in every way I know how. On Saturday he did give up and call Sony. I do not know what happened after that.

@tensider There was a network error when I was doing it. There's a way to go back and do it though. It's in your account settings under services. The exact method is up on the support site.

@DustbinK

That worked! You're my hero of the day.

@xxZOMBIExx

Yeah, looks like they took it down. I can't find the Welcome Back stuff anymore either.

I also just tried the Home stuff. While it IS there and lets you add to your basket thing whatever (I haven't used Home in like forever so the whole layout and stuff was completely new to me) it DOESN'T let you download the stuff. It's full now and I go to "checkout" so it could DL or whatever and it gives an error saying the content is not available.

The Home stuff I don't care about. I was going to get it just to get it, in case it ever got better to use in the future or whatever, but the 30 day free trial I was wanting the most and so upset with Sony now. They really screwed people over because you know that they knew a lot of people were going to wait till the last day to use their free trial. Especially since a lot of the PS+ content that got released since it's been back up has been pretty crappy. All the talk about having updates twice a week never happened.

I bet anything they were waiting to put some of the better PS+ content when majority of the free trials expired and also taking it down a day early so that way a lot of others couldn't get it. Definitely smells of a scam by Sony.... Yet again.... To think I still supported them just because I'm a gamer, I don't care about particular consoles. Very POOR customer service.
