It really doesn't matter. At this point, Sony is Sony when it comes to getting hacked, at last in the eyes of the general public.

So this allclearid thing...does it auto-renew after the free 12 months and you get charged for it?

Either it will be on Friday or they will roll it out in random groups of people is my guess?

Explain to me how it would do that since you don't provide it with any billing information.

haha i like the "Welcome Back" name ... as if we left and went on vacation and are now home and ready to go back to it.

So my gf and I both have PSN accounts. Sounds like we can get four games total.

 

[novasatori]

So my downloads for my free games never started, and they disappeared from the list in the PSN Store.

I found this on the PS Blog if you run into the same problem:

If this happened, go to the XMB and under the PlayStation Network column, go to Account Management>Transaction Management>Services List>SCEA Promotions to download the game for that first slot.

shit me and my 2 kids have accounts, does that mean we can get all 5 games?

Yep. This makes me angry that I never got around to setting up my son's PSN account before the outage.

 

[Kev]

I have 2 accounts because I didn't like my first account's screen name. Yay for me

 

[Duder1no]

Yep.

[American Gunner]

Where do you go to download the games? I want to start them as soon as I get off work.

You should see a big "Welcome Back" logo in the Playstation Store. Click on that.

 

[American Gunner]

Oh, so I would have to be pretty dumb to miss you, thanks Queasy.

Would I have to keep on switching user names on the ps3? Like set up diff users to use with each psn account?

It is only good for PSN accounts setup prior to April 20. So it isn't going to work with any account you setup today.
