Official PSN discussion thread

Sony pretty much has to up the ante on their "Welcome Back" package at this point, more so if online gaming capabilities are delayed through another week.

Definitely. The only way I would be satisfied at this point is if those rumors are true about voice messages and cross-game chat.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's two games out of five. I just don't want them to be shitty. 50 is a nice round number.. 30-40 would be fine though.

I hope hard corps: uprising is one of the psn games they offer.

I thought it was supposed to be two PS3 (PSN) and two PSP games?

I don't want to try to get excited about any of the potential games. I'm fully expecting to be disappointed with either shitty games or games that I already have.

Yup, especially since I won a shit ton. I'm also hoping it's Hard Corps and maybe Moon Diver since they both seem look ok games but are way over priced, plus I don't have them. ;) Doubtful though.

I am hoping the games we get are ps3 minis, those games are so dope.

They would be way more "dope" if they had trophies.

I believe the 2 PSN, 2 PSP games is for overseas, Europe. Also, they get the PS+

aside from the inconvenience of canceling my card, this has been a non issue for me. I will gladly take the free stuff they are offering.

Ah, I was only referring to the ps3 games..

I thought it was all but confirmed that we were getting the same stuff? I will be more than outraged if Europe gets more shit than we do. Were they some how affected differently? Nope.

It's only Europe. None of the other regions have announced the additional content in the "Welcome Back" package.

watch the 4 games be 1.99 Minis and the bitching commence

If PSN isn't up by the end of may E3 is going to be hilarious.

Agreed. They may as well pack it in and start on PS4 if that's the case.

[Colonel Angus]

I couldn't care less about this "welcome back" package. I just want Psn back.

This is so gay.

[Guest]

Agreed. They may as well pack it in and start on PS4 if that's the case.

Agreed. But here is a serious question, and I hope that we can take it a bit seriously, because I talked about it with a few people after work today and got a variety of answers. Is PSN on the next Playstation console going to be free again, or a pay service like Xbox Live?

I think it's going to depend on whether Sony feels they can upkeep their servers/services without having to generate extra revenue or whether the current fiasco takes a large enough bite out of their wallet. If reported estimates are accurate, Sony has already suffered over $1 billion in losses due to PSN getting hacked.

It can remain as free a service as it ever was to begin with, Sony just hides the cost to the consumer in the cost model for the console, accessories, game and PSN purchases. Specifically charging for access to it will not change anything. What they need to focus on is the overall security of their network. If they had spent as much on that in the past few years as they did their army of corporate attorneys to sue people and harass homebrew enthusiasts, PSN would be up and running today.

Hopefully they have learned a valuable lesson.
