From the PlayStation Blog: You may have noticed that the content promised as part of the Welcome Back offer is not yet live. It is currently in the final stages of testing and will be available to download soon; we’ll be sure to let you know when. The next PlayStation Store and PlayStation Plus update will be this Friday, June 3, and then we will roll right into some special publishes starting next week for E3 (so be sure to check back daily!). Already explained this elsewhere, but they pretty much put a big friggin' arrow on them saying "Will be available DURING our E3 Press Conference!" It just screams that during the conference, they'll mention the plan and Jack Tretton will announce that the plan will be up on the store as soon as he finishes that sentence.

blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/03/welcome-back/Well, color me surprised, their "Welcome Back" program is officially up. Have at it, monkeys. EDIT: Just so you guys are clear on what to do, before you get your free games, you need to "purchase" the "Welcome Back: Free PS3™ Game [#]" that comes up. Guessing that's how they're aware that you're getting the game for free. Currently DLing LBP, already got my 30 days of PS+. I'm not going to pay for anything off that network, since it'll be gone come next month, so I'll probably find some free games. That, and getting the chance to play the Uncharted 3 beta a week in advance.

I really don't get how "content cannot be selected at this time." I managed to get one, but it's walling me in regards to the second one.

It happened to me too, then I realized I was trying to use the same "Free PS3 game" to get two games. You have to go back to the original Welcome Back section and go for the other Free PS3 game.

Got the 2nd one after heading into my account and selecting Transaction Management there. It still took a few tries to download it. Wound up getting inFAMOUS & Dead Nation. That was way more of an ordeal than it needed to be.

Anyone having trouble downloading, try this:
Q: I no longer have the option to choose my free Welcome Back games. What can I do?
A: If you navigate away from the Welcome Back section of the store without choosing your free games or exit the store completely you may need to follow the below in order to choose and download your free games.
On your PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Portable navigate to the PlayStation Network icon on the XMB
Log into your PlayStation Network account and choose Account Management > Transaction Management > Services List
Choose “PlayStation Network Promotions” from the list of services displayed
Select either “PS3 Free Games” or “PSP Free Games” and then choose “Select Content”
You will be taken to the store to choose your remaining free games.
And also, I have a question that I'd REALLY like answered.
My brother and I have two different accounts on the PS3. Is it possible for both of us to get two free games, are we going to have to fight about it?

Sony really should've done this thing in waves to minimalize the potential problems.
