Sony Compensates Accounts, Outlines Timeline - console
(hx) 05:52 PM CEST - May,01 2011 - Post a comment / read (5)
Sony released an apology to PlayStation customers, gave a brief outline of restored services and offers gifts for compensation of loss of service.
Sony will turn on most features of the PlayStation Network within a week and offer its customers a selection of free downloads, it said early Sunday morning.

The PlayStation maker’s online service for its PlayStation 3 and PSP consoles will come back online this week following a massive security breach in which the personal information of over 70 million accounts, possibly including credit card numbers, was obtained by a hacker, Sony said in a Tokyo press conference.

Online gameplay for PS3 and PSP, access to account management features, the PlayStation Home virtual world and other features will go live this week. Other features, including the PlayStation Store downloadable games shop, will not come back online until later in May, Sony said.

As an apology to PlayStation owners, Sony said it would give them a variety of goodwill gifts. A selection of downloadable content will be offered to users at no charge. Every user will receive 30 free days of PlayStation Plus premium service.

All PlayStation 3 owners will have to download a system update and change their passwords before they will be allowed to sign in to the service again; all password changes must take place on the PlayStation 3 console on which the password was originally registered. This, says Sony, is an additional security measure.

Knowing my luck it will be all the shit I already downloaded that they give for free. But who knows,

How many days do YOU think it'll last till the next hack ?

so, affected users will be compensated with so called goods that actually don't cost a dime to sony, they are not hard copies, have no physical value whatsoever AND as a plus you get access to some "premium" service (I assume that it's worthless?!).

well, I personally would prefer cash and would jump on that public suit bandwagon...But then again, I am smarter than to buy fony products...

They got my name, address and phone number and an expired VISA. Yippe. Like this hasn't happened to VISA or MC or your own bank! I've had my debit card defrauded 3 or 4 times and you know what? It never left my pocket. I remember Valve getting hacked too and someone walking away with a beta of their game? Remeber that? Anyhow, from here on, I'll be using points cards. Decided that long before this happened.

So, they compensate for loss of service. Ergo, they admit that there was a loss of service.
Do they compensate for security issues? No. Ergo, there were no security issues.
