it's ps3 for me. Had a xbox 360 spent more time in the shop in the first 6months getting fixed then I had it at home. Had to get ACCC involved to get a refund. That was a couple of years ago so I couldn't comment on the newer consoles, but for me once you've had a bad experience you don't go back. And that's why a couple of years a go when i bought a new computer I went apple I will never go back to microsoft again.

PS3 Store is down till the end of the month.

Wipeout HD is great fun apparently. Will be getting that and infamous.

LBP is good, but all the developers are concentrating on LBP2 now. So theres no new content. Although this will bring a lot of people back to LBP1.

Correct.

It's the PS3 Welcome Back/Sorry/We Stuffed Up Major package.

They've announced the games you can get. There's also some PSP games if you have a PSP.

Apparently they'll be available for download when the PS Store comes back online.

Also get a free months access to PSN+

Yep, if anyone hears, post it.

After looking at the reviews for the PS3 games available for free, inFamous and Wipeout will be my choice.

I tried JB on the way home. It's rare that the embargo isn't broken these days. Although, the big games usually hold.

Wipeout is awesome, first game I bought on the PSX and then on PS3. Love it.
Infamous looks cool, looking forward to that. Meh about the others, probably LBP as I've not played it but doesn't really appeal

There have been reports of problems with LA Noire, so you're not alone.
So far Rock Star and Sony have played down any issues.

Do some searching for more info.
