An Important Message About Problems With PSN's Welcome Back Program

Josh Knowles from Gaming Irresponsibly recounts: After taking the day off to tend to my son, who was sent home from daycare, I was surprised to find out the the Welcome Back Program had gone live! After fighting through the error code 80710D36, I finally made it through to the marketplace. At this point, I was a bit excited to start installing InFamous since I never purchased it prior, so I quickly clicked on selected PS3 Game 1 and then selected the game to download. I recieved a notice saying I needed to add the Welcome Back PS3 Game 1 item to my cart as well, which it automatically did. After which I hit download and expected the long processes of downloading a large game to begin. Nothing happened initially, The button kept flashing like I was continually clicking it, although I hadn’t touched anything since selecting download.

I just got an email from her on that, updating now
Credit given too

metsgaming4718d ago

does that work with losing PS+ as well as the free games?

agentxk4718d ago

most likely, since it is a service

Toenado4718d ago

this does not work for everybody. Once i click on SCEA promotion it says Welcome Back: free ps3 game 1. Then I click on that and there are no more options to click. It just says

Title Welcome Back: free ps3 game 1
Starts 06/03/2011
Expires 06/03/2011
Remaining 0

Im not going to try to get the second game since it didnt work for the first.

Solid_Malone4718d ago

i seem to be getting the same problem, i managed to download wipeout hd after all the hassle, and then i also got the 30 day playstation plus program but now when i return to the welcome back package all i see is the playstation plus icon and i didn't get to retrieve my second free game :'(.

@atwon23 Try to go to View Downloads in the main menu (inside the PSN Store)

I am so sick of the latest in VG Journalism. God this SUCKS. All info is available on PS Blog but no we have to have "journalists" continue to perpetuate falsehoods.

Fail.

This happen to me to, but I went to the PS Blog and read a reply from Kristi. It took me 1 minute to find that out. I am so smrt

thorstein4718d ago

Rofl! Thank you. Me too. Bubbles for you.

RedDead4718d ago (Edited 4718d ago )

Can't believe they are having problems after 43 days of fixing it. That error code is just annoying. Ah well I can put up with it. Free service. Get what you pay for. It's more of a hindrance anyway

slaton244718d ago

error because so many r on at 1 time i got all my stuff and my ps+

blackburn104718d ago

Same here. *hits RedDeadDestroyer with rolled up newspaper* Damn troll are everywhere these days

kneon4718d ago

It's inevitable, you don't build networks to handle the rare extreme peaks in traffic. It's just not cost effective to do so, you'd end with most of your network equipment sitting idle most of the time.

LOGICWINS4718d ago

Anyone know when we'll be able to get back on the PS Store? I'm already downloading my two free games, but I wanna get back in and download PS Plus.

slaton244718d ago

u just got to keep tryin i finally got in the error is due to so many goin on the store at one time

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4718d ago

DL'd wipeout, stardust, killzone and pursuit force. I thought the U.S. program offered ratchet and clank.

Achemki4718d ago

Need a European account for that one. DL'ing it as we speak.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5078d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905078d ago (Edited 5078d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5078d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5078d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495078d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5078d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5078d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
