Sony details "Welcome Back" offers

Free PS3, PSP games revealed.

Sony has revealed which games feature in its PlayStation Network 'Welcome Back' scheme.

As detailed on the European PlayStation Blog, all PlayStation 3 users with PSN accounts will be able to choose any two from LittleBigPlanet, inFamous, WipeOut HD/Fury, Ratchet & Clank: Quest For Booty and Dead Nation.

Meanwhile, PSP users get to choose two from LittleBigPlanet PSP, ModNation PSP, Pursuit Force and Killzone Liberation.

On top of that, there'll also be 30 days free PlayStation Plus membership for non PS Plus subscribers and 60 days free subscription for existing members.

Music Unlimited subscribers will also be given 30 days free subscription. A Welcome Back offer is also planned for PlayStation Home, but details are yet to be confirmed.

Specific details about how to access the offers and eligibility requirements will be posted when the PlayStation Store goes back online. Sony is yet to announce when exactly that will be but the post insisted "we are doing everything we can to make that happen as soon as possible."

You'll have 30 days from when the Welcome Back programme goes live to claim your freebies. The offers are only open to users in countries with access to the PlayStation Store.

For anyone reading in Germany, note that inFamous and Dead Nation will be swapped with Super Stardust HD and Hustle Kings on the PS3, and Pursuit Force and Killzone Liberation will be replaced with Everybody's Golf 2 and Buzz Junior Jungle Party on the PSP.
