WOO
Sony has revealed more precise details for its 'Welcome Back' program for PSN users, offering free games and services following the PSN outage.
The good news is the free games offered are actually ones worth playing. The bad news is that, considering their age, avid players are likely to have already played them.
But you will get 30 days PS Plus subscription access for free, which is all good.
Yesterday SCEE finally confirmed that PSN services have started coming back online in Europe after over three weeks of online gaming blackout on PS3.
Here are all the details in Sony's words:
Once we restore PlayStation Store, which will be just a little while longer, you will have the opportunity to claim your Welcome Back gifts. Please note that the Welcome Back programme is only available for those countries with access to PlayStation Store*.
All existing PlayStation Network members will be able to access the following from PlayStation Store*:
Two PS3 games from the following list:
LittleBigPlanet
Infamous*
Wipeout HD/Fury
Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
Dead Nation*
For those with PSP accounts, you will also be eligible to download two PSP games from the following list:
LittleBigPlanet PSP
ModNation PSP
Pursuit Force
Killzone Liberation*
- 30 days free PlayStation Plus membership for non PS Plus subscribers*
- Existing PlayStation Plus subscribers will be given 60 days free subscription.
- For existing Music Unlimited subscribers, you will be given 30 days free subscription.
- We are working on a Welcome Back offer in PlayStation Home and will share that when it is confirmed.
I would like to thank all of the developers and publishers involved in this programme for their support in making this happen. We certainly couldn't have done it without you.
You will be able to access this content once PlayStation Store comes back online and we are doing everything we can to make that happen as soon as possible.
Thank you for your support and keep checking back on the blog for more information.
For eligibility for the welcome back programme consumers must be an account holder on 20 April 2011. Specific details about these offers and eligibility requirements will be posted as the services go live. All existing PSN registrants have 30 days from when the welcome back programme goes live to redeem their content.
For the German market, InFamous and Dead Nation will be replace with Super Stardust HD and Hustle Kings in the selection of PS3 games.
For the German market, Pursuit Force and Killzone Liberation will be replaced with Everybody's Golf 2 and Buzz Junior Jungle Party in the selection of PSP games. Killzone Liberation will not offer online gameplay functionality.
Access to the 30 days free PS Plus subscription is only available for those countries where PS Plus is offered. You will have access to the PS Plus content planned for May for 30 days. Access to the free games and exclusive features finishes at the end of the 30-day subscription period. Anything you buy with exclusive discounts, dynamic themes and premium avatars are yours to keep forever.

Saw a neat breakdown of this online the other day, grand total that it is worth 104 bucks. That's what our loss of protection and possible fraud in the future is worth to Sony.

Here is the break down:
Sony is sorry it got hacked and that you've been locked-out of the Playstation Network for over three weeks. Now it would like to buy your forgiveness. Exactly how much the company is willing to part with depends largely upon what kind PSN-user you were previous to the outage, and which of the two Sony gaming platforms you own.
As part of its "Welcome Back" initiative, SCEA is allowing Playstation 3 and PSP owners to pick from a variety of games and services at no charge. We've compiled the market values for these items to determine how you can get the most bang for your buck out of this somewhat unusual opportunity. (Note that, in many cases, the prices of these games are higher through the Playstation Store itself than at the competitor retailers we've consulted.)
Of the 5 PS3 titles available for download, users can select two:
Dead Nation ($14.99)
inFAMOUS ($23.44)
LittleBigPlanet ($17.98)
Super Stardust HD ($9.99)
Wipeout HD + Fury ($19.99)
Among those games, both inFamous and Wipeout HD provide the most value, otherwise costing over $40 combined.
PSP owners can likewise select two titles from below:
LittleBigPlanet ($19.23)
ModNation Racers ($19.81)
Pursuit Force ($11.33)
Killzone Liberation ($14.21)
Opting to select the two highest-price PSP games will net you a value of roughly $40.
Those who were not subscribers to PlayStation Plus can enjoy a one-month free trial—up to $6 in value, depending upon the pricing plan selected. While those who were already paying users are set to receive two months for free—or $12.
Lastly, Music Unlimited Premium trial-holders and registered users will both be receiving one month on the house—another $9.99.
To get the best value, you'll want to select the following games:
inFamous + Wipeout HD + LittleBigPlanet(PSP) + Modnation Racers(PSP) = $82.47
Factor in dues owed to you if you're a Plus or Music Unlimited subscriber, and you could see that total increase to $104.46.
What you're worth to Sony will reflect how many Sony products and services you already own. For PS3 owners that have forgone the bells and whistles (and do not own a PSP), Sony is willing to part with merchandise and programs amounting to roughly $50. The Sony faithful, on the other hand, could more than double that amount—but one wonders: won't these gamers already own many, if not all, of these greatest-hits titles?
