The PlayStation Network servers will be humming tonight as Sony launches its "Welcome Back" program for PlayStation Network users. Probably the best part about the appreciation program is the offer to download free games. As a thank you, Sony is offering two free PS3 games and two PSP games to keep. You can download the games for the next 30 days on up to five activated systems with your PlayStation Network account. (See list of titles below.)

The PlayStation Network went down for a bit yesterday in several parts of the world including the U.S., interrupting my download of the new Uncharted 2 demo. Apparently, the downtime was planned as Sony attempts to bring back the entire worldwide network. Sony said only "some" users were affected yesterday -- with some getting logged off randomly and others having trouble signing in. However, after logging in again this morning the 'Uncharted 2' download continued.
