PlayStation reveals customer appreciation program for North America
Sony has announced specific details about the "Welcome Back" customer appreciation program for North America, now that the PlayStation Network has relaunched. The program is a way for Sony to repay loyal users for their patience during the service outage.
Every existing registered PlayStation Network and Qriocity user in North America (US and Canada) will have access to the program after Sony has fully restored the service. More details will be available soon, but for now here is what we know:
Each user can select two of the following PS3 games below to download. You will have 30 days to download the games after the network is fully operational. The games can then be kept forever! Here are the PS3 games available:
- Dead Nation
- inFAMOUS
- LittleBigPlanet
- Super Stardust HD
- Wipeout HD + Fury
Here are the PSP games available:
- LittleBigPlanet (PSP)
- ModNation Racers
- Pursuit Force
- Killzone Liberation
The program does not end there. Here are the other benefits:
- A selection of “On Us” rental movie titles will be available to PlayStation Network customers over one weekend, where Video Service is available. Those titles will be announced soon.
- 30 days free PlayStation Plus membership for non PlayStation Plus subscribers.
- Existing PlayStation Plus subscribers will receive an additional 60 days of free subscription.
- Existing Music Unlimited Premium Trial subscription members will receive an additional 30 days of free premium subscription.
- Additional 30 days + time lost for existing members of Music Unlimited Premium/Basic subscription free of charge for existing Premium/Basic members.
- To welcome users Home, PlayStation Home will be offering 100 free virtual items. Additional free content will be released soon, including the next addition to the Home Mansion personal space, and Ooblag’s Alien Casino, an exclusive game.
