Free PS3 games

[binny]

Heads-up

You are currently getting two games from a choice of five free for PSN users registered before 21st April as part of Sony's apology, it's a limited time offer.

30 day trial on a load of full versions of games available as well.

My boy has been waiting to get these free games, do we have to have a disk to download them from the PS3 store after logging in to the Playstation, or does it download them on to the actual Playstation box?

I think it stores them on the box. I don't have a PS3, but a friend has been talking about the free games, and that's the impression I got from him.

 

[Systreg]

Thanks Newguy, I was thinking it might save them to the box, will try it now.

It'll save on the PS3's hard drive. Follow the 'Welcome Back' options in the store.

Yeah, it's currently downloading Ratchet & Clank game to the hard drive, my boy will be busy for a while, as we bought him five PS3 game the other day for his birthday, plus these 2 free games, I expect I'll also be playing more games as a result

 

[Aaron Clifford]

Yeah just done that, Going horrifically slow, will leave them on overnight I think.

 

[Systreg]

@ Aaron, yes, very slow, showing as 175 minutes left to download this first game.

My son is so excited to get a free game but taken over an hour to download 5%....

Love to know how much data is been downloaded per hour right now

 

[Systreg]

The first free game is now at 28% downloaded, with 128 minutes left.

@360350, must be a hell of a strain on their severs with millions of people downloading freebie games at the same time, no wonder it's so slow.

 

[inthelongrun]

is there a list anywhere I can get of these games that are available?? Might dig out the PS3 if there's some good titles!

 

[binny]

Dead Nation (zombie game with a bit of a top down view like Commando on the spectrum)

Infamous (run around town like GTA but you are a super hero or super villain)

Wipeout Fury (futuristic racing shite)

Ratchet n Clank (arcade style sonic-esque like Treasure Island Dizzy on steroids)

Little Big Planet (weird)
