I'm thinking I'm going to end up with DeadNation and Stardust, I have InFamous and LBP already and I'm not interested in Wipeout at all, I'm fairly certain my husband will like Stardust and the only one I'm interested in at all is DeadNation.

I'm thinking DeadNation, too.

How IS InFamous, btw?

I haven't really played enough of it to accurately answer. It was the reason my husband bought the PS3 and I know he really enjoyed it.

I'm going with InFamous because I've heard good things about it, and for the second one I haven't decided yet. I have a PSP and a PS3 so I plan on getting LBP on one of them.

LBP is definitely awesome and if I didn't own the GOTY disc copy, I probably would download it.

I'd recommend the console over PSP.

Cool, that's what I was wondering. Thanks! :D

Similar choices for us in the UK, Ratchet and Clank Quest for Booty instead of Stardust. Already have Ratchet and Clank, and Little Big Planet, so went for Infamous and Wipeout.

Just started playing infamous today, and loving it.

I think I would have preferred ratchet and clank instead of stardust. Also what IS Wipeout? and is it any good?

myste_uk June 5 2011, 00:09:49 UTC

I haven't played it yet, but it's a racing game that everyone I know who has it raves about. Apparently it supports 3D play too, which is a bonus for me :)

Sorry I can't tell you more, but I haven't had chance to play it yet.

Sorry to jump in here, but I have had Wipeout for almost two years now. :)

It's actually quite good. Been enjoyable for both the boyfriend and I. If you like racers... although it is a difficult game... it is beautiful on the screen. A pleasure to look at. The attention to detail is amazing.

The gameplay is actually quite refined. They have pilot assist if there's problems steering (trust me, sometimes there are) and is hard to master, but doesn't deter. Definitely enjoyable. Still play this game. It is huge! Lots of races and things to do.

InFamous for sure. And. . . the other I'm not sure about. Deadnation doesn't really interest me. So it'll probably be one of the other two. Since I already have LBP.

I grabbed Dead Nation and Super Stardust, as I already have InFamous and LBP. They looked like fun, though I honestly knew nothing about them when I made the choice! I'm a little disappointed we didn't get Ratchet and Clank in the offer, which I believe the EU did. But, free games! Can't complain too much.

For the PSP, I chose LBP and Mod Nation Racers. Looking forward to those as well. All in all, it's a really nice deal from Sony. Welcome back indeed!
