The message should have changed from 'this service is under maintainance' to 'an error has occured'. The store IS up, it's just a bit glitchy. Keeps kicking you out. Give it a few hours and I reckon it'll be a bit more stable. I can access both the UK and US stores thanks to having multiple profiles.
Incidentally, are the free game choices the same for the US as the UK ones? 'Cause if I get four free games then...win. May as well make use of my US account, right?
US Games
Dead Nation
inFAMOUS
LittleBigPlanet
Super Stardust HD
Wipeout HD + Fury
EU Games
LittleBigPlanet
InFAMOUS
Wipeout HD/Fury
Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
Dead Nation
I think US users also get some free movie rentals, not sure though.

So I get Super Stardust HD and Dead Nation from the US store, Infamous and Wipeout HD Fury from the UK store, and the other games I already have, giving me everything for free
Yepp, thats the error I am getting. I guess I would have to wait a few hoursQUOTE said:
As for the free games go.. nothing particularly interests me, but hey FREE STUFF! lol
How do you get this free stuff? I checked out Infamous and it's still 22 quid. What gives? I wants free things plz.

I hope they don't send out emailed codes to get the stuff. If that's how it works I don't get jack from the US store 'cause the hotmail account I used to set the account up no longer exists, it was locked for lack of use ages ago. I can get the UK stuff, obviously. But may as well try to get all the free stuff I can
Any idea when the free stuff becomes available? I was under the impression it was as soon as the service was restored. Which it is.

I don't think the free stuff is available yet.

So probably by weekend?
It's been such a long wait for the store to be up!
Also, how come they couldn't just make ANY PSN game in the store free?
Would that not work?
I just think it's a bit of a shame as quite a lot of people already own the games they have to choose from.

It's good that the store is back. Let's hope the server overload issue will settle down overtime.
Looks like existing ps+ members who were already on the service before or on 21st April get an extra 70 days to their subscription.
And hopefully people remember that accounts registered before the downtime (read 21st April) are eligible for the Welcome Back free games. Only available to download for 30 days (whenever the Welcome Back goes live) and you get to keep them!
Another store update tomorrow from what I've heard to catch up with the updates.

I dunno, Burnout Paradise is free for PS+ users at the moment, which of course we all are once the Welcome Back scheme kicks in. Normally costs you £25. Of course it's a trap since it's just the basic game I think. You have to pay extra for the DLC, that's how they get you.
Of course I bought Burnout Paradise years ago and my little brother bought all the DLC ages ago so I just downloaded it through his profile. We do that all the time, DLC sharing. He gave us the DLC for Burnout, LittleBig Planet 1+2 and Fat Princess with the DLC. I gave him Final Fantasy 9, Wild Arms, the Warhawk DLC and my bonus disk for Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition. So it all works out well for both of us.

Doesn't seem to be working yet, may take a few hours..or days as they say on the blog.
The main shop still hasn't been fixed fully yet either.
@Depravo - i guess we can't expect PSN to be completely selfless.. what corporate company is!
Good to see the shit's working, but every time I try and download something, I still get an error or service is under maintenance. I guess not EVERYTHING is ready to go yet, but with PSN's online gaming being back up, I can be patient. :0

I'm doing good, just made my first drink of the day, so better now, Captain and Coke today. I had to cut grass all day, then get my hair cut. I messed with my wifey, she knew I was going to get hair cut, and I went and bought a purple dyed wig, and came home wearing it, she freaked out, thinking I dyed my hair purple, was funny. -
