With everyone rushing back to the Playstation Store to buy stuff they’ve been catching up on, there will be some freeloaders who will want their freebie games. I am of course one of said freeloaders, and I have already experienced one potentially huge problem. Luckily help is at hand and that comes in the form of this handy FAQ. Sure it outlines what we already know in certain places, but there is some very useful information.
