Sony has pledged to give PlayStation Network subscribers two free games when PSN's down time finally comes to an end.

The PlayStation Network has been offline for over two weeks, and it is looking likely that Sony will be unable to come good on its plan to resurrect the service by this evening. The firm has admitted that the subsequent revelation of 24.6 million SOE accounts also being hacked has stalled its hopes to relaunch PSN as quickly as hoped.


However, Sony Europe spokesperson Nick Caplin has revealed that PSN members will be offered a choice of two from five free PlayStation 3 games as an apology, whilst PSP users will be offered two from a choice of four titles. He reiterated that Sony was "working around the clock" to end the down time that has caused frustration for some 77 million PSN gamers across the globe. Caplin didn't give any details on which games would be offered, but said details would be arriving "very soon".

All existing PlayStation Network customers will be provided with 30 days free membership in the PlayStation Plus premium service. Current members of PlayStation Plus will receive 30 days free service.

77 million users, bloody hell mun. Now that is serious profit.

In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty"

Sounds like a good deal with 1 months free Playstation Plus subscription, more than likely a marketing ploy to keep people signed up once the free period has ended. Very Clever actually.
 
As for the 2 free games... meh.. They'll be bottom of the pile, more than likely Sony designed games.
