Column: Sony should use PlayStation Plus to compensate PSN users

The fallout of Sony’s chaotic PlayStation Network hacking crisis is going to result in massive losses for the company. How will Sony compensate consumers for their personal information being stolen, like their names, addresses, PSN account usernames & passwords, and credit card information?

More of a theoretical than anything.

Tyler Durden5503d ago

Not a bad idea at all. Frankly, I dont know why Sony did not do this when they first released PS Plus.

potedude5503d ago

That would make us pissed off gamers feel better, plus it would showcase their subscription based offerings. I bet if they did that after 6 months a LOT of people would then continue to pay for PS+

LOGICWINS5503d ago (Edited 5503d ago )

Yep, good idea. AND when the 6 months are up, TONS of people will renew it because they'll miss the exclusive content.

Maintain consumer confidence/Get more people on PS Plus in the long-term.

Win/Win

EDIT: And it would be so awesome sauce if they started it in June cause ud have a PS Plus subscription for the rest of the year AND ud get to experience the UC3 and RE3 betas.

AND its something that Sony can brag about at E3.

badz1495503d ago

introduce many to PS+ and PS+ users get more free months on top of their existing subscription.

@potedude

6 months is pushing too much! 3 is more like it!

potedude5503d ago

@badz149
Yeah I was kinda thinking of my own selfish desires. I think if it happens a month would be the most realistic.

Still, one can wish...

1.If your online for free and not a PS Plus member you don't have a reason to be crying about being compensated.

2.How doing we know if the person info got stolen he could've did it his self, some people give there friend there password on the PSN to downloading stuff from there file i did it for my friend.

3.We all know when Geohot got the key what was going to happen. but i beleve someone on the inside gave them the key.

starcb265503d ago

I just wanna play already :\
That's how they can compensate me.

chriski3335503d ago

i say 3 months of ps plus i think its fair but most of all i just want to play my games online

Sounds like a good idea, Sony could make amends and advertise a great service at the same time, but a year, at most three months.

cbakehorn5503d ago

Perhaps a year was a bit much, but 3-6 months would be fair.

Zydake5503d ago

No that's dumb then what would they give current PS+ Users?

cbakehorn5503d ago

More time to use PS+ for free, just like everyone else.

They don't need to do anything special for the subscribers, but they definitely should compensate for the down-time, which they are apparently not doing.

MrBeatdown5503d ago

I wouldn't say "they are apparently not doing" it. They are likely focusing on getting PSN up first. Compensating users will likely come after, and possibly be based on the length of the downtime.

ThePsychoGamer5503d ago

Subscriptions stack, so they would get however long Sony gives normal PSN users added on top of there current subscription.

Rybakov5503d ago

by making it free? wouldnt that just put them back to square one?

unknownhero11235503d ago

it would if it didn't have a time limit but if a limit of 3 months was placed then, in thoery, it would gain more subscribers.

Rybakov5503d ago

true true

i still see no point in ps plus so i prolly wouldnt take the offer but its great for anyone who dose

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5826d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905826d ago (Edited 5826d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5826d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5826d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495826d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5826d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5826d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
