No, why should they?

why dont you go and work and fix their problem besides waiting to play online, there are a bunch of people working and not spending time off because its down.

Probably not, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they did. Sony isn't exactly the type to admit that something is wrong and then try to make up for it, though with the recent string of outtages, they might just do it for the good publicity.

Same exact topic like this, and people will for the most part agree that they don't need to give us something. And I have a feeling they won't, unless it's something really small, but it's not necessary I think

Well, good business practice 101 dictates that Sony should offer the PSN community some sort of a freebie (and probably find a way to compensate the PSN+ subscribers for each day PSN is down). I don't think it's necessary, but Sony just might do so to save face.

Some token $5 PSN game to appease the masses. If it goes on much longer we might need a $10 PSN game to appease the masses LOL. Obviously subscription based games will have to be adjusted because you specifically paid for them, maybe you can argue the same for PSN+. It is a given that the billing will have to be adjusted for something like DC Universe online. It would be shameful if they didn't. Some sort of "freebie" for everyone to make up for the outage is more of a a common courtesy than an absolute necessity, but I really think they should at least try to save face.

Did Microsoft give a reward when Xbox live was down for 2 weeks? If they didnt even do it for a service you have to pay for then i dont see why sony would have to.

If it is down for a long time, then yes. What it is, I could'nt tell you. What would be really cool if they gave everybody a free month of Playstation Plus. It would be a good way to say "I'm sorry" and let everybody try it. Maybe it would get more people to sign up for it.

I have been thinking about signing up for a while now...

I personally don't think they need to, depends on how long the outage is I guess. If it's less than a week I say they don't owe us s***.

Im sure everyone would want a free gift but the service is already free. Maybe PSN+ get another free 2 weeks or something. Or maybe even 10% off everyone on PSN would be cool. Still id like it if it just came back up ASAP.

Its not a matter of Sony having to give people something for free. It would be a nice gesture on their behalf. Yes its a free service. However we pay a lot of money for our system, accessories and games and we pay that money knowing part of what we get is an online service. Sony don't HAVE to give us anything. However it would be nice, and a lot of people would be very impressed. As it is they won't tell us anything about whats going on. A nice freebie would be a way of making people happy again cause right now a lot of people are pretty annoyed that they can't play their $60 games they recently picked up.

The only possible compensation I forsee is any paying subscriptions gets extended by however long PSN is down. It's also the only type of compensation that I think is fair, from a business point of view. Expecting a gift from a someone that just had a big problem sounds like a douche move because it is. Just because it's a company doesn't change expectations. Like I said the only gift we should get is not even really a gift; it would be what we are owed.

No. Why should they give us anything for? If I was head of Sony I'd say to people be grateful for getting the servers back on, and if that's not enough, lump it.

They've already given everyone a gift by making the decision to take down PSN to protect the information people have on their network. All I ask for from Sony is that they do what they can to resolve this issue as quickly as they can which it seems like they are doing.

At least it would get him to shut up for a while I guess. I think whether or not we'll get anything depends on how much longer PSN is out. I think that Sony isn't giving us an Estimated Time because they know that it's going to take a long time and don't want everyone else to know. If PSN isn't up by friday, we'll probably get a mini or something.

I think discounts on PSN games would be nice. The fact that SONY isn't sharing that much information is disturbing. I called my credit card company to deny any transactions from SONY until this situation is resolved. I would suggest others do the same. Who knows what exactly is going on and how far this goes... Yea, they shut the servers down, but IF it was hacked, how much info. was stolen is an issue. Just because something is free, doesn't mean people can't complain. You spend a lot of money investing on a system that promises, if you buy their system, a better online service than its competition.

They might compensate PSN+ users with an extra free week or something, but other than that I don't see them doing anything. Maybe they'll toss some free Mini game to everybody.

If credit card details were compromised we would know by now. It has been 4 days, nobody steals credit details then doesn't use them for 4 days. Also, Sony would have at least emailed the people whose details may have been compromised.

Some of you are delirious. When the power goes out after a really bad storm or flooding or a tornado or whatever, if it's out for an extended period of time (more than just a few minutes or hours), people are just thankful to have the power back on once it's fixed. The electric company doesn't mail out coupons or money checks or a free month of power. So no, I don't believe Sony will be giving us anything in return for our patient waiting. Although, I do wish they'd tell us more about what's going on. Not having a clue makes me think that this in fact a pretty serious issue.

Uh, no. It's free, why the f*** are people complaining? I can't even go outside due to medical issues right now so I'm stuck inside with nothing to do and I'm not even complaining. It's not even that serious. "Oh noes I can't play CoD for a few days! My life is over!!"
