Daysha, the button for the Welcome back package disappears after you select it and download it. You then have to go back into the Welcome Back part from the front page I think to be able to redeem your choice of two games.

richymcdermott

Sony are just making it so worse for themselves. Some people may say there's millions accessing the network at the same time but Sony knew this was going to happen, they just have no foresight

Can't seem to be able to redeem them anywhere. I'm nearly sure I downloaded the package but I can't find anywhere to download them and when I go to the A-Z listings they're all listed as €26.99

Possibly, check in the downloads section of the Store and redownload it. Not really sure.

50% of Infamous downloaded, no issues here.

Kells...

Ok I must have done something wrong because it's not giving me the option to download the free games. I only have the Playstation Plus tile available to me on the right hand side of the screen I think I may have clicked into and then pressed the back button but now it's no longer there. Anyone else have that problem?

I did the exact same thing I try to buy the games then and I could cause I hadn't enough credit.

richymcdermott

I too clicked the welcome back package , got error code 3 times thing then disappears and now cant pick my games, swell..

Laika1986

This content cannot be selected at this time!

Beefy78

I'm going to play the arse out of Streets of Rage, James Pond and Burnout Paradise over the long weekend.

horgan_p

Sorry guys ,
This is far from fixed - randomly throws me out of the store , when it lets me in I get random "no content" messages.
Cant complete a transaction at all.
fixed ? not a hope.

phily2002

managed to get my ps+ and download infamous, went back for more but store was down ah well get to try out infamous :cool:

Tallon

Getting errors everytime I click something, but once you click ok, it's fine

In the middle of downloading;

R&C
inFamous
Streets of rage II
James Pond
Burnout

shinzon

after a bit of poking around on the Playstation blog comments section about my no content found message on PSP I found this

Try this:

1. On your PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Portable navigate to the PlayStation Network icon on the XMB
2. Log into your PlayStation Network account and choose Account Management > Transaction Management > Services List
3. Choose “PlayStation Network Promotions” from the list of services displayed
4. Select either “PS3 Free Games” or “PSP Free Games” and then choose “Select Content”

And it worked, I no longer have no content found on there, strange you have to click on the token but at least it works so I thought id post it up here

It's not about being "fixed". It wasn't broken. There's 75,000,000 trying to download a ****load of stuff at this exact moment. If it gives you an error message then wait two seconds and try again. It is working though.

I went into the store I kept getting an error but got in eventually, I got the package but didn't choose the games yet now it keeps popping up error and I can't get them:mad:

jimbob86

what are the games can we choose to download,i mean what are the options like?

Wolverine359

You can download games across multiple accounts! Got 2 ps3 games on my us account, and 2 for my Irish one!

Edit: just read the last page, I see it's already common knowledge, my bad!

yawnstretch

Kinda annoying if you've already paid for those games

Credit would have been better.
