Sony's Welcome Back message ambiguity is confusing me.

Once Playstation Store is back online, all PSN users will be able to access the following...
Two PS3 games, 30 day free PS plus membership.
I may be reading between the lines but these aren't free games but access to those games and it also states in the terms and conditions below

Access to the free games and exclusive features finishes at the end of the 30-day subscription period.

This is nothing more than an extended trial or am I being confused?
I will have to go some to complete INfamous and Wipeout HD within 30 days.

I call 'Shenanigans'.

EDIT - Turns out I was mistaken. As i'd misread. This is good news. Claim those games people


Thanks guys.

From what I understand, the free games are to be kept forever, but other free content that comes from the Playstation+ subscription is taken back after the 30 days.

This message leads me to this belief.

All PlayStation Network customers can select two PS3 games from the following list. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.

I would have been happy with a 20 dollar credit so I could grab a couple more ps1 classics.

I thought this too but the welcome back message from Sony doesn't have this phrase.

Hopefully, I'm mistaken and it's an oversight on the EU PSN message

I think it means that you have 30 days from when the PSstore comes back online to claim the games, then you can keep them.

what it means is that you have 30 days to claim your games which then can be kept forever. If you fail to claim your games with in the 30 day window you get NOTHING!!!!!! (willie Wanka style)

Oh dear, I get it now. I did misread it.

Thanks for explaining.

Nothing to see here.
