With the PlayStation Network supposedly up and running again, I figured that I'd go ahead and log in so I could do the required password reset. Imagine my surprise when I attempted to do so and was immediately prompted with the same old "PlayStation Network is currently undergoing maintenance" message that we've been seeing every day for the past month or so. Turns out that while North America (and just about every other country) has access to the network, Japan will have to wait a while longer until Japanese authorities have deemed the upgraded network safe enough. Figures. Still, I suppose the prolonged wait doesn't bother me so much. I rarely play games online and it's not like we're paying for the service, so whatever.If there's one positive to come out of this, it's the "Welcome Back" package that will be made available to all returning PSN users. We already knew about the free month of PlayStation Plus, but Sony has also revealed that users will be able to download 2 free PS3 and PSP games. Here's the PS3 list:
- DeadNation
- inFAMOUS
- LittleBigPlanet
- Super Stardust HD
- Wipeout HD + Fury

yeah, when it comes to loyalty, the US/Canada will switch it up to XBox no problem so Sony had to get on that ASAP. I think they probably have a release plan based on competition. Since relatively few people have an XBox in Japan, I wouldn't be surprised if it was last on the list.
but yeah, when the store goes live, I figure now would be time to try LBP.
