Sony heeft ons beloofd dat ze het goed gaan maken met ons via het ‘Welcome Back Program’. In dit ‘pakket’ zal onder andere een maand lang gratis PlayStation Plus zitten voor elke PlayStation Network gamer, maar er zijn ons ook twee games beloofd.

Zojuist is het ‘Welcome Back Program’ uitgelekt wat Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) ons aanbiedt en we moeten eerlijk zijn, het zijn niet zomaar games die ze weggeven. Bekijk hieronder wat ons allemaal te wachten staat, want het is inmiddels alweer verwijderd van het officiële Europese PlayStation Blog.

Update: De officiële link van deze details is weer online en is hier te vinden.

Now that certain PSN services have been restored and you’re once again enjoying online gaming, it seems a good time to confirm what is being offered as part of the Welcome Back programme.

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.
