PlayStation Store has finally returned online with massive updates.

The EU PS Blog hasn’t gone up with the news yet, but the US Blog has the massive list of content you can get now.

Part of the update includes full games such as Sega Rally Online, Outland, Under Siege and Back to the Future: Episode 3, to name a few.

Demos of Red Faction: Armageddon and Motorstorm Apocalypse are now also available.

Fallout: New Vegas DLC Honest Hearts, Crysis 2 map pack Retaliation and tons of Rock Band songs and packs are part of the DLC update.

Content that forms part of the Welcome Back pack – such as free PS3 titles inFamous or LittleBigPlanet, or PSP games like Killzone Liberation – is not yet live, but is currently going through the final stages of testing.

The Video Store is also back up, albeit going through teething troubles. But its return now means you can finally buy Disney’s Tron Legacy, which launched the week PSN went down.

The next store update after today, for both PS Plus and standard users, is scheduled for tomorrow.

Sony promised full restoration for PS Store by the end of the week on Tuesday.

The PlayStation Store went down with PlayStation Network on April 19 due to an external hack. The company confirmed that personal data was compromised in the attack, but there was no evidence to suggest that credit card details were also taken.

PSN partially returned last month in most regions bar some countries in Asia, including Japan. The service only returned in Asian countries last weekend, but will not get the Store today.

Sony says the non-return in Japan is due to complying with instructions on information security from the Japanese government.

Additional features.

Well done, Sony. Now secure your interwebz please.

what of the free games i had heard sony would be giving away im to lazy to google

shabutie · « **Reply #2 on:** June 02, 2011, 06:14:18 PM »

Last I heard its...

PS3 : Infamous, LittleBigPlanet, Dead Nation, Super Stardust HD, Wipeout HD + Fury
PSP : LittleBigPlanet, Killzone Liberation, Modnation Racers, Pursuit Force

Pick 2 from each.

Or something like that... Hurray for cheap bastards! ^_^

And they said something about them coming up a little later, and trickling out so they don't overload their servers. ~~One place I read said they expect it after Sony's Pre-E3 conference and expect Sony to go over it in detail there.~~

Well finally they came back up. Had some money left in my PSN wallet that I wanted to use for the past month now. Purchased Dissidia Prologus just to get the Aerith Assist (don't ask me why I wasted 3 bucks on it, but there wasn't anything else I wanted at the time)

It's in the additional features link I posted.

So I hear the Welcome Back package is out.

Unfortunately for me... My old account (The Pre-April 20th one) is password locked and the change password site is 'Down for maintenance'

I can confirm that. I think I'm gonna get LittleBigPlanet, Killzone Liberation. Not like I've been badly damaged, but can't say no to free games.

Though I am getting quite the many "an error has occurred" messages. Probably due to the amount of people taking advantage.

Got some free games; what a deal! I don't even use PSN.

SEGA’s “rapport with Sony remains unchanged,” following outage.

I'm guessing PS3? It's still not available on the PSP.

all of the free games garbage disappeared from my psn and i cant download them for free. It bugged out during that first night they opened it up and then my free game things were gone and i havent gotten anything free hooray for sony.

I tried calling them but waited on hold for 30 minutes just to get a rep say 3 words and put me back on hold

One problem I am experiencing is the inability to actually MANAGE MY ACCOUNT! I haven't been able to update payment information so I can buy some DLC for a PSP game because the server is "under mantimence" and has been for over a week (was able to change password 3 days after I 1st tried but can't update payment info

Account Management > Transaction Management > Services List
Pick “PlayStation Network Promotions” from the list.
“PS3 Free Games” eller “PSP Free Games” then “Select Content”

Really? I got my PS3 and PSP games on the first day they went up.

I got LBP and Infamous. As well as LBP and Killzone Liberation.

Yeah, I'm getting those as well. No, I did get to see them being in the "welcome back" section when it initially got up, but now it just says "no content found" when I visit it.

Try the Account Management > Transaction Management > Services list trick

Might have gone weird on you.

Ah, yes. that worked, thank you.

You're not supposed to enter the Store via the regular route, apparently. It would've been nice if they would have explained that that might necessary for some people.

Wut? I went through the front door and had no issues. A few errors while in PSN but nothing else detrimental.

I picked up dead nation and LBP. (Don't really like FPS on the PS3)

LBP and something else on the PSP. Now I just need to find my PSP lol.

Wondering whether or not to mod my PSP(s). I have 2 PSP1000. One is currently bricked the other is purely legit. I need to buy new batteries and shit anyways I think. And a MSPD for the magic card or w/e.
