You may have noticed that the content promised as part of the Welcome Back offer is not yet live. It is currently in the final stages of testing and will be available to download very soon; we’ll be sure to let you know when.

Dammit.
I will say, playing emulators on the psp is great( depending on the genre). Handheld Chrono Trigger and Link to the Past is great.
Anybody know if Neutopia is worth it?
― Crazed Mister Handy (kingfish), Thursday, 2 June 2011 20:39 (thirteen years ago) link
haven't played it but I hear it's apocalyptically terrible
― you penis-curling she-devils (jamescobo), Thursday, 2 June 2011 22:14 (thirteen years ago) link
it's really hard. not terrible but not great either. try Golden Axe Adventure instead.

― nuclear power, jet propulsion, radar, laser beams, cordless phone (abanana), Saturday, 4 June 2011 11:32 (thirteen years ago) link
so i already have infamous and wipeout, and dead nation looks like a boring robotron game which i'd hate. so i got the Ratchet and Crank
thanks for 0, Sony

if you had more than one account set up before the network went down then you can download more than two games.as well as my UK account i had a US account set up so i could snoop on the US store and its let me download two more games. thanks Sony! (Japanese & Hong Kong stores are still down so haven't tested them yet)
― zappi, Monday, 6 June 2011 08:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Good tip although I wasn't interested in anything besides LBP and Infamous. (I already have Wipeout+Fury.)
And now that I realize LBP is realllllly not for me (as I had suspected). Stephen Fry plus cute platforming = braindeath
― 40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Monday, 6 June 2011 09:16 (thirteen years ago) link
what kills LBP for me is the moving in and out of the screen, it doesn't seem to control properly, feels kinda broken.
― zappi, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:36 (thirteen years ago) link
ah forgot LBP,yeah got that already too and the second one
And yes the in and out is fricking frustrating, and they didn't change it for the second one either so they must think it works. But you're right it doesn't, and it works by itself leaving you with no control over it.
I still like it a lot though, Infamous and LBP probably the ones I'd go for if I had none already.
― remove this man from the internet (Ste), Monday, 6 June 2011 09:44 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah,one point they say "don't worry about moving in and out of the screen, it'll happen automatically" and well, it sure didn't feel like it.

i'm also just allergic to the cuteness of it all. when stephen fry said something like "collecting stickers is the height of cool on little big planet!" i was like "ugh!" and dropped the controller instinctively.
― 40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Monday, 6 June 2011 09:49 (thirteen years ago) link
like, that's great, but i just wanted a free game, i didn't want to get involved in virtual sticker collecting
― 40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Monday, 6 June 2011 09:50 (thirteen years ago) link
"ugh!" and dropped the controller instinctively.
haha
i felt the same way about collecting stickers, but then i got more involved in creating the levels and you realise then that the stickers had a purpose after all.

Sooo otm. I was dead excited about this game until I played it. It's fatally boring and it controls like shit. I didn't try designing a level because I was already bored by that point.

I got Dead Nation and Ratchet & Clank as I already had the other three on offer.
Dead Nation reminds me of that PS1 game Bruce Willis did the voiceover for (googles to find... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_(video_game) ). I enjoyed blasting through a couple of missions but I can't see me going back to it too often. Robotron still rules two-joystick shooters for me.
Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty reminded me of the Robots game (the 2005 movie spin-off) - looks and plays almost identically. My sons like it so I guess they'll get a few hours out of it.

Is the only way to access the Welcome Back package thru the email they sent out? I'm a little wary of clicking on email purportedly being sent by Sony, for obvious reasons.
