PlayStation Store Back Up!

Finally having returned home from Phoenix, AZ, I was excited to hear that the PlayStation Store was (finally) back online, and slightly less excited to hear that Sony had been hacked, again.  Eager to access my free content, I signed in this morning before any more outages could be expected.

It's interesting, as I had originally thought that online access and downloadable content (DLC) were abominations to gaming.  Now, I have found myself at a loss without them.  So - having no access to online features since April 20 has been a bit of a letdown.

With the store back up, Sony extended a Welcome Back program which featured the download of two new games and a month free of PlayStation Plus.  I am downloading inFamous and Super Stardust HD as we speak.   I hope to also log on and get a crack at some of the demos that are available before long.

A quick perusal at the DLC available shows me how much I haven't gotten to yet - Witch Hunt for Dragon Age: Origins, The Exiled Prince for Dragon Age 2, Minerva's Den for Bioshock 2, and two installments for Fallout: New Vegas!
