Sony's payoff day

So you must have heard by now that Sony released more information about the security breach of PSN. Confirmed, thousands of credit cards' details of European users have been compromised. The hacking "Legion" has them now...

Anyhow, you can read about that in the PSN blog (see PS Blog News on the right).

What is more interesting, Sony also started to release details of "compensation package" (or so-called "Welcome Back" program).

 

So what would the victims (us, PS3 users) get?

  • complimentary identity theft protection to U.S. account holders (no details for how long)
  • free downloads (no details)
  • 30 days of free membership in the PlayStation Plus premium subscription service
  • 30 days of free service for Music Unlimited subscribers
  • extending PlayStation Plus and Music Unlimited subscriptions for the number of days services were unavailable

Does not sound like much to you? To us either.
But wait and see, it might improve. Especially, as we mentioned in previous post, Sony must expect legal actions to be taken (by users, content providers, gaming software companies, etc.). Just wait for it.

Also, no word on when PSN is coming back to life.

And so we wait.
