While the PlayStation Network is back, the PlayStation Store is still M.I.A. There has yet to be a confirmed date as to when the Store will be available again, however, it looks like it may be worth the wait.
Sony has a "Welcome Back" program, and it looks to be pretty generous. According to the American PlayStation Blog, existing members (as of April 20th) will be privy to the following deals:
Two of these five PlayStation 3 games are yours for the taking:
- Dead Nation
- Infamous
- LittleBigPlanet
- Super Stardust HD
- WipeOut HD + Fury
PSP owners can get an additional two games out of these four for their PSP:
- LittleBigPlanet PSP
- ModNation Racers PSP
- Pursuit Force
- Killzone Liberation
Plus, those that stick around after the full re-launch can look forward to:
- "A selection of 'On Us' rental movie titles" for use on a single weekend. The weekend in question and the titles available have yet to be determined.
- Non-PlayStation Plus subscribers get 30 free days of PlayStation Plus.
- Existing PlayStation Plus subscribers get 60 free days of PlayStation Plus.
- Existing Music Unlimited Premium Trial subscription members will receive an additional 30 days of free premium subscription.
