Smart move putting Infamous as one of the freebies. Get people playing the game and interested in the series, and when they finish Infamous 2 will be.

Frankly, all of the offered games are solid choices. They're all well regarded, and there's a enough variety in the genres to suit most tastes.

me too, I was hoping it would be the PS3 version

I am also getting LBP and inFAMOUS, we will see how the new security measures hold up

I can't decide what games to get! I don't think I am interested in inFamous or Dead Nation, so I have the final three to choose two from.
LittleBigPlanet
Super Stardust HD
Wipeout HD + Fury
Which of these two should I get? Is Super Stardust really awesome or is LBP1 not worth it since LBP2 is out there? Then again I don't know how much I care about Wipeout either, I love the demo but I dunno how much I will like the full game.-

They are very different games. Wipeout is a racer, Stardust is an arcade shooter. I have put way more time into wipeout.

This is my dilemma, one that I'm sure many others share. Most PS3 users already own those games.

This is the topper in the cake. These are GREAT games being offered. I think Sony has done an amazing job digging their way out of the hole. I wrote on Sonys' perfect timing with all this in my blog this morning.

They have dodged a huge bullet with this one. -
The game selection is slightly different for European users:

For the PS3, Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty replaces Super Stardust HD. -
Not to be that guy, but I'd of rather had a 10 dollar credit put to my account to be able to put towards anything. I'd have probably just grabbed a "premium" theme so when netflix or my bluray starts I see something pretty for a minute =) Otherwise, I wasn't really interested in these games 2 years ago(or whenever each title popped out). Anyways, hate at me now because I don't like what you do =P

Yeah the 10 was kinda just the 1st number that popped in my melon, but it would get people in the store using it again, or shit maybe even use it for the 1st time. Thought I was going to be pounded into oblivion because "its free you crying dummy" or something of the likes. Oh well, this is what we get though.

Just got inFamous when it was price dropped to $10 at bestbuy last week so I guess that's out. But I haven't played anything else so I have some options. Just feel kind of jipped picking an arcade title over a AAA title like inFamous for my second choice...
