Sorry if this is a dumb question. But where do you find out what games are being offered as compensation?

Yeah they are downloadable.

Super Stardust HD is great and Wipeout HD is pretty much the coolest racing game out there.

This is awesome! Two free games - and all I had to do was go outside and enjoy the good weather? Pretty good deal, it's not like we pay for online?

VERY NICE! (Borat voice)




(when will the PSN Store be up and running?)

Do you like cutesy games and games with lots of customization? Get LBP. Do you like racing games and flashy, fast paced games? Get Wipeout.

LBP is like a really artsy, smart old school mario game with fantastic co-op. It's one of my favorite games of all time. If you like platforming I recommend it highly.

If you haven't played infamous and enjoy the 3rd person action genre (Uncharted, Batman) then you need to get on that game right away. It's very well done and the way the game manages your powers is wonderful.

Both games are among my top 5 this generation. I'm cool with this compensation (I'm going for Dead Nation and Wipeout as I own the others).

Kind of a small selection if you already own a few of those games. Also are they still offering a month free of PSN Plus still?

Interesting way to look at it. I never enjoyed the controls in LBP as they felt very loose and I never felt like I had solid control like you'd have in a Mario or Mega Man game. It just felt like a game you play with friends and try out neat custom levels. That was just me though.

People are complaining? Those are some pretty good games IMO. I played through InFamous but traded it in while it still had value. Definitely going to download that one again. That game kicked ass.

Probably go Wipeout as well.

Yup, they are...that's why I own them all already. Damn it. At least I'll get 100 virtual items for playstation home though!

Haven't played it myself, but just from checking out the IGN review, I don't think I'll like it more than the others.

Looks similar to the old Grand Theft Auto games, which were fun for a bit but grew old quickly imo.

I think I'm leaning towards Infamous and LBP.
