PSN Service is Finally Back in Action Worldwide

From DailyTech: After a long leave of absence after being hacked and losing users’
personal data, the PlayStation Network (PSN), Sony Corp.'s (6758) online gaming platform for the PlayStation Portable and PS3, is finally coming back online.

To try to lure wary users back to its service, Sony is offering a special "Welcome Back" program, which includes a 30-day free PlayStation Plus subscription (60-days free for existing subscribers) and free movie rentals for an entire weekend.

PSP users get their pick of two of four games -- LittleBigPlanet (PSP), ModNation Racers (PSP), Pursuit Force or Killzone Liberation -- and PS3 users get to pick two of five games -- Dead Nation, infamous, LittleBigPlanet, Super Stardust HD or Wipeout HD + Fury expansion.

Sony has not yet announced details of where users will sign up for the complementary package. Press releases are reportedly impending, to inform customers in various regions how to sign up.

More good news for users who do manage to log in is that a broad array of new content in the PlayStation Store and PlayStation Plus downloads section has been added.
