Details of PlayStation's "Welcome Back" Package Announced

The other day, The Closet Geek reported that the PlayStation Network was back up for certain areas of Europe and the U.S. and that a "Welcome Back" pacakge would be coming. Well we now have the details of that package. The details of the package was announced on PlayStation's official blog. PSN customers have the option to download two of the following list of video games to keep:
  • Dead Nation
  • inFAMOUS
  • LittleBigPlanet
  • Super Stardust HD
  • Wipeout HD + Fury
PSP customers have the option to download two of the following list of video games to keep.
  • LittleBigPlanet (PSP)
  • ModNation Racers
  • Pursuit Force
  • Killzone Liberation
In both cases, customers have 30 days to make their selection. In addition to the above, PlayStation is also offering the following:
  • A selection of “On Us” rental movie titles will be available to PlayStation Network customers over one weekend, where Video Service is available. Those titles will be announced soon.
  • 30 days free PlayStation Plus membership for non PlayStation Plus subscribers.
  • Existing PlayStation Plus subscribers will receive an additional 60 days of free subscription.
  • Existing Music Unlimited Premium Trial subscription members will receive an additional 30 days of free premium subscription.
  • Additional 30 days + time lost for existing members of Music Unlimited Premium/Basic subscription free of charge for existing Premium/Basic members.
  • To welcome users Home, PlayStation Home will be offering 100 free virtual items. Additional free content will be released soon, including the next addition to the Home Mansion personal space, and Ooblag’s Alien Casino, an exclusive game.
I appreciate what Sony is doing and all the cool stuff that the "Welcome Back" package includes but at the same time, the games listed are older games. Whether this will be enough to make up for the mistakes it made is debatable.
