We can kind of guess they won't do it on their own. I wouldn't know how to go about starting this but I think it's a good idea.

I know we get the service free anyway but at the very least PS plus users should get something because they pay. It would be great for consumer relations if everyone got something.

PS Plus users are paying for the games, which they can still play. This is inconvenient, but that doesnt entitle us to free games.

That's like asking McDonald's for a free burger if they close down for repairs. This is why it's not fun owning just one system.

I'm not in the slightest way angry or dissapointed in Sony.... so, unless I'm GUARNATEED I'll get a free gift I'm not petitioning... in fact I feel kinda bad for Sony.... they're gonna really feel this one, just because a bunch of **** can't play CoD or Portal 2.... Feels weird to think that there was a time BEFORE online gaming.... having a few buddies over, solo-ing it.... or actually going outside and such... like sheesh....

If you pay for PS+ you will likely recieve a credit. If not, what makes you think Sony owe you anything? Do you think this outage is they're fault? Would you expect a free gift from Gamespot (for e.g.) if their service suffered downtime?

Like someone else said it is just a minor inconvenience. Watch it'll probably be back on tomorrow...we don't need compensation for every little grief we endure.

Oh come on. We can stay without online gaming for a few days. If its to make the service safer then I dont mind if they take a whole week to do so.

Come on, it's not like you're paying for PSN. It's a free service and they've been attacked by an outside source. Subsequently, they shut down the service in order to make it more secure for the consumer. Now you feel like you're entitled to something for nothing?

Dude, the PSN hasn't always been great, BUT over the last couple of years it's been solid. So I can't fault Sony for doing what they need to do to bring us all better service.Now...please don't take what I'm about to say as an insult(cause this is for all who think the world is coming to an end), but if the PSN being down seems to bring your life to a stop, you might need to find another hobby.

I love gaming, but it's just "ONE" of the things I like to do.

I am a PS+ member, only hope they extend my membership for the days it has been down.

Aside from that, yeah, it sucks I can't play the new SOCOM online with others, so i've been using this time to play the story mode - tons of fun there still !!!!

I hope Sony gives you a free gift - a nice little knick-knack for your Harbour Apratment in PS Home !!!

They should at least extend the period of a person's PSN Plus contract by the number of days the outage lasts - that only seems fair.

As for those who don't pay for the Plus (like me), they can just be patient. I've been playing online for free for almost a year and this is the first time the network has been down for such a long period and in the grand scheme of things, its not a big deal.

No, it's a stupid idea. Why don't you petition the hackers that are causing this mess for a free gift. I used to think hackers were cool.... now they're just getting on my f*ing nerves.

how shallow are you that you want something for free just because they had server issues from an external source? They don't need to give us anything.

That's stupid. You should demand your apology from the hackers causing the problem and ruining the fun for the rest of us.

People are so greedy these days. We dont need a damn gift. All we needed was for Sony to admit that they were hacked. That's all I wanted to know. They don't owe us anything at all. So what if you are a PS+ user (FYI, I am). PS+ or regular users don't deserve anything besides an explanation. Gosh guys, show some respect. Go to work, do some errands that you put off. Spend some time outside. GET LAID! Lol. There are alot of things to do to get your mInd off of PSN. Psh a free gift, shame on anyone that wants one.

Sony are already suffering, don't extend their grief by asking for free gifts. Besides, this is a brilliant time for me to play single player games. I'm not fussed about psn going down.

when your cable goes out do you get free gifts?, When your power goes out do you get credits from the power company? If you answered yes to any of those please tell me so i can sign up with those companies. Its unfortunate you cannot play online but that is not stopping your gaming fun, unless you just play MAG or a couple others most games have a SP, so you cant here annoying kids talking ish or constant wining for people that are getting pwned! Sounds like a small blessing for a few days. Its not the end of the world! Also I think you would like sony to fully look into the problem to make sure they dont bring it back online and then they did not notice someting else that will take it down again

free gift, lololol -- why should we get a free gift for a service that is free to begin with? I can understand PS+ subscribers getting credit or time added on and even DCUO people getting some time or in game items, but for the rest of us that just get the free service, we probably wont get anything.

Nah, they should just worry about fixing it, not giving us a reward for waiting.
