North America, here’s what you’re getting out of Sony’s PSN outage

Perhaps the biggest benefit to Sony’s three week PSN downtime is that we all have now heard of – and can correctly pronounce – Qriocity. It’s like “curiosity.” Cool!

But maybe you think you deserve some free stuff? Sony is willing to play ball. Once “services are fully restored,” eligible PS3 and PSP owners will be able to choose two from column A and two from column B.

All PlayStation Network customers can select two PS3 games from the following list. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever: Dead Nation, inFAMOUS, LittleBigPlanet, Super Stardust HD, Wipeout HD + Fury

For PSP owners, you will be eligible to download two PSP games from the following list. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever: LittleBigPlanet PSP, ModNation Racers, Pursuit Force, Killzone Liberation

The PlayStation Blog also says some free video rentals will be announced, plus a ridiculously large assortment of free Home items will be made available. This is all on top of the free month of PlayStation Plus, which has rightly been relegated to a secondary benefit when compared to free permanent game downloads. I don’t feel like a month tease for a pay service is much of a carrot.

As far the free games, there’s definitely some corkers on offer. Some, like Super Stardust, have been off-and-on discounts for years… but inFAMOUS and LittleBigPlanet? That’s a great grab for free. And if you already own all of the games? Sony says “too bad.”

    Even though I own inFAMOUS on disc, I would be willing to grab it to have as a launch item right from my console desktop.  And since I have four accounts on my console, I assume I will be able to grab all four titles – SWEET!  The PSP gesture is nice as well.  I have Little Big Planet on that one, but ModNationRacers is going to be in my download queue along with either Pursuit Force or Killzone Liberation, pending the better reviews.

    I'll be picking up Dead Nation and Wipeout on PS3 (I own the others), and on PSP will snap up LBP and MNR.

    That said KZL is really, really good.  The free DLC for it added
    multiplayer, but it gets super hard late in the game and I don't have
    time to bang my head against that.  My UMD copy actually physically
    broke on me not long after I got stuck at a horrendous boss fight —
    that's when I learned the dangers of trying to pack UMDs into a smaller
    case with the PSP, oops — that's why I stopped playing it.  But yeah
    definitely go for KZL if you have any interest in it.  It deserves a
    sequel.
