Did anyone else know about this? Is it for real? If it is, that's really exciting! I love free games, and some of the ones they're offering look really good.

It says that they're offering a 20 percent discount for anyone with a Playstation Plus subscription. I wonder if they let you play it online first, sort of like an exclusive preview.

I know they're going to have a lot of games that weren't released in Europe so I wonder if it's a push to get more worldwide users.

The article mentions the outage they had last spring when gamers couldn't log on for several weeks. I might be reading more into it, but I wonder if some of what they're doing now isn't to get some good PR to counter the bad publicity they got earlier in the year.

Did they do anything when the outage first happened? Normally when something like that goes on the company credits you money/time/something. If they didn't do anything back then, then I agree that this thing happening now is to try and make up for that.

If Sony/Playstation are trying to cover their butts, because of that outage, they sure took their time about it. I guess, it is better late than never. I do not care either way, because freebies and discounts are always great.

I'm happy to hear that Sony decided to offer this "reward" to the clients that remained loyal after that outage incident. I've actually played some games of the "Infamous" series and I found them really interesting. "inFamous 2" was one of my favorite games for a few months...
