Sony/Anonymous Nonsense & the PSN Outage ... also GeoHotz

News for the EU Store:

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/02/euro-psn-gets-massive-update-ps-plus-members-get-more-freebies/

Just hours after the PlayStation Network Store went back online, Sony took to its European PlayStation blog to detail both what's coming in the first major update, as well as what European PS Plus subscribers will be receiving in the coming weeks. Beyond the already detailed "Welcome Back" content, SCEE says an extra 10 days will be added to the 60 already included in the Plus "Welcome Back" package, "due to the Store coming back a little later that we hoped."

Additionally, April's Plus content and deals are being extended for two extra weeks, meaning that if you missed a chance to download Premiere Manager at 50 percent off, there's still time! June's offers have yet to be revealed, but the post does promise Plus users a free copy of Burnout Paradise as part of the month's content offerings.

The "Spring Offers" deal for all PSN users has also been extended to June 8, a sale which was unavailable during the majority of its duration as a result of the month-long PSN outage. All PSN users can also snag a free copy of FIFA 11 Ultimate Team, a soccer management game from EA, for the time being.

And finally, the EU PlayStation Store has also received a massive update, the likes of which we've never seen before. Final Fantasy VI is totally on there, as is a mess of new Hyperdimension Neptunia content and ... well, you know what? We're going to simply point you to it rather than try to wade the flood.

So the store is back up, but I see no freebies yet. Anyone know when this will be?

Also, can someone tell me what all these hackers think they are accomplishing with these attacks?

I've heard it should be up by tomorrow cause there's supposed to be a store update but I dunno if that's for certain.

This is a really fantastic game. I bought the Ghostbusters car for mine.

 

[Tetsujin]

Welcome Back package is now online!

 

[ForceStealer]

Yay! (Here's the US one) And I agree about Burnout, Brooke, 'twas a very fun game.

Now I jsut have to find a way to leave work early Then it's decision time. I'll probably get INfamous for sure...but as for the second... I always thought Wipeout looked very pretty at least, is it any fun?

 

[Glaurung]

Also, can someone tell me what all these hackers think they are accomplishing with these attacks?

They put as an excuse that they are fighting against the evil corporations and governments that enslave people blahblahblah. But the truth is that their lives are so empty and boring that they need to do somehting to feel important and great.

I always think of these hacking attacks and trolling in general as overcompensation. They lack something and try to replace it with something else, mainly causing harm to other people just because.

 

[OneWingedDemon]

I wouldn't discount all hacktivism as trolling and overcompensation, but this particular attack was nothing of the sort.

Someone needs to fuckin target Apple. Much more deserving.

 

[Tetsujin]

Thanks to my EU and US account, I'm downloading 4 free games right now.

 

[ForceStealer]

tsk tsk tsk.

I got Wipeout HD and Infamous Ratchet & Clank was the only game I was interested in from the EU program...which I might have to get.

 

[Tetsujin]

I got Dead Nation, WipEout HD, Ratchet and Clank and LBP.

But the download is slow as fuck with everyone else loading at the same time.

 

[Tifabelle]

When I try to go to the Welcome Back thing I get an error. Is that just cause a lot of people are on?

Pretty much, yeah.

 

[ForceStealer]

You can keep trying though (As in, get the error, hit O, and go in again). I didn't take me too long to get in.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Mine errored and I only got 1 PSP and one PS3 game. :/

(both LBP)

[Jaqen H'ghar]

I got my two PS3 games I just ignored the error and kept going I need my PSP games now see how that goes

 

[OneWingedDemon]

Ok guys, how many of you have played the shit they're offering?
I don't know what to pick after inFamous.

[Joe]

Yeah I've just been playing InFamous, =/

Also I can't get back to the screen where you pick the games so I'm stuck with only one. >|

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

[Joe]

my second choice was wipeout, id go with either that or dead nation.

but yeah wipeout is pretty decent for a game i got for my little brother to play.

 

[Tennyo]

Is it worth it to get LBP if I plan on buying LBP 2?

If not then I'll choose something else.
