Sony to offer free games due to PSN outage
Technology giant Sony has revealed a make-good program to compensate users affected by the PlayStation Network downtime.
Marketing news sources confirmed that the campaign will offer users two free games to download 30 days after the PlayStation Store comes back online.
The games can then be kept forever on the hard drive of PlayStation 3s across the globe.
The games available for selection are ‘Dead Nation’, ‘Infamous’, ‘Little Big Planet’, ‘Super Stardust HD’ and ‘Wipeout HD’ with the Fury add-on pack included. Furthermore, PlayStation Portable owners will also be compensated with two free games from ‘Little Big Planet’ (PSP), ‘ModNation Racers’, ‘Pursuit Force’ and ‘Killzone Liberation’.
According to Gamespot, Sony will also be offering a number of free movie rentals as part of its apology marketing campaign.
Currently, the apology package is only available to Playstation users in the US and Canada but it thought that European and Latin America users will receive the same or a very similar package.
Sony has thanked loyal customers on the PlayStation Blog for being patient during the digital attack: “We developed the program as an expression of our gratitude for your patience, support and continued loyalty during the service outage.”
“From all of us at PlayStation, thank you and welcome back!”
