Thirsty Conversations: “Welcome Back Pack” Edition

by Ernice Gilbert on May 20th, 2011, under Other Stuff

Come Tuesday, if all goes well, the PlayStation Store will reopen for business after being down for a full month. That’s all kinds of awesome in many ways. First, we get to play all the great demos, purchase DLC and get some other goodies that’s been sitting idle since the PSN hack, but most importantly, we’ll get to redeem our “welcome back pack” Sony promised.

For PS3:

– Dead Nation
– inFAMOUS
– LittleBigPlanet
– Super Stardust HD
– Wipeout HD + Fury

And for PSP:

– LittleBigPlanet (PSP)
– ModNation Racers
– Pursuit Force
– Killzone Liberation

Which games will you grab? Let’s talk! Do it here: The Official Gamesthirst Chat Room.

Yesterday Sony detailed the “welcome back” package it’d promised all PSN users a few days after it announced the service had been severely hacked, and while some are very well pleased with the package, others are disgusted with it, saying it’s not enough.

But while Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian thinks that’s a good start, he says Sony could do much more to rebuild user confidence, and the biggest motivator, according to him, would be a console price cut.
