Sony better do something really goddamned awesome to make up for this crap.

Next to sending out a bunch of strippers for the audience, there is very little they can do to save face for something that shitty.

So, bring on the strippers and beer Sony. It's your only hope.

>implying Sony hasn't already announced a free PSN download and a month of Playstation Plus for everyone...

Not bad considering there is still no confirmation of anyone's CC's being stolen, and it's not a Paid Service, so really, they don't owe you much more than an apology.

 

[Chris]

OH NO. Gonna throw the greentext on him like that?!

The debate could go either way. PSN price is factored into the cost of the PS3, so it's not entirely beyond reason people expect compensation when such a service goes down. I've also seen people say they have had strange activity on their accounts after this, but was it because of this? Who knows.

Their security was awful; outdated software, no VPNs, all servers connected directly to the internet. And they knew of the exploit, but never did anything. Regardless of how well Sony has handled it, this will be something they more than likely won't live down for a few years.

Also, to get PSN+, I think you have to give them your credit card info (lol) again. Even worse, any games or content you get with PSN+ will not be available to those if they don't continue the subscription. Unfortunately that makes it seem like just a ploy to make money to me and most people might shy away from such a thing. Although you are correct, legally they aren't required to compensate anyone.

Anyone who factors in PSN being free as part of the purchase price of the PS3 is a fool. Plain and simple. It's not guaranteed to work, it's not guaranteed to always be free, nor is it guaranteed to even exist tomorrow. You bought a PS3, Not a PSN membership.

No credit card necessary for PS+, and the only downloads with PS+ you don't get to keep after the fact are the ones that are entirely free. In this case, Sony is giving everyone a non-PS+ download so it's always yours, and on top of that the Playstation Plus gives everyone plenty of stuff for around 50% off (which they get to keep forever) and any of the free PS+ games (which amount to free 1 month rentals for those who don't continue the service.

Ultimately that's a much better deal than anyone should expect/hope for.
