That's the thing. Sony didn't really wrong me on account of the only info that I lost was my password. Secondly they "indirectly" wronged me, because of their faulty protection. So I can see what you mean. If a body guard fails to protect you then there might be some compensation.

Either way I just don't want to sound greedy. I nice free PSN game might be nice, but as of now I'm just saving up for the New Mortal Kombat
See, I think just losing your personal info, not even just the credit card stuff is in and of itself a wrong, but I can understand if you choose to see it differently.

Maybe for those people who lost money, but if someone didn't lose money, I guess they don't HAVE too.
I don't know, maybe some PSN points. (or what ever they're called. I've never used a PSN card)

Still, I've never used a credit card on anything that's not Steam or Amazon.
I changed my passwords anyways, just to be safe.

Wouldn't mind it. When Xbox live went down over Christmas once all we got was subpar action game made free for two weeks.

Not expecting it though, its a free service. Although they probably should seeing as how they gave away so much personal info, even if they can't do a great deal with it.

Does anyone know if Xbox Live went down? And if it did, were subscribers compensated. All things being equal if that is the case and Microsoft did not reimburse thier users then I see no real reason why Sony would.
Yes, when live has gone done unexpectedly and for a period of time before MS have given a free arcade game, but in saying that with Live it is paid for so there was something to compensate.

Everyone should note that as of yet there is no evidence that card details have been taken, people have just been warned as a precaution.

I would be happy if they caught the hackers and either used them to improve security or sent them to prison. I don't really mind if we get compensation or not but it would be a good way for them to get some good PR.

But what type of compensation could they give?
I really don't think they could just give out money or anything so what, would they give us PS+ for free for a couple of months or something?

I'm not gonna be crying if they DON'T give us anything, but they probably should... they fucked up ROYAL. after getting PSN back up, getting back on our good sides should be their first priority. they can start with a sincere apology, followed up with the beefing up of their security. then maybe send us something like a free bit of DLC or an Avatar or something. they don't have to, but they probably should, just to make up for almost leaking our credit card numbers, email addresses, passwords, names, and addresses to some random dickweed living in mom's basement.

I would say PS+ people and DCUO people should get money back.

All PSN users had their data stolen, which is what the OP is asking about.

Does anyone else think that sony should provide some sort of compensation for it's users for the risk of private data being taken? seems only fair to me but what does the good men and women of the escapist think?

It would be a nice incentive, but I don't want to sound like an entitled prick asking for more from Sony right after this considerable mishap and damage to the PSN.
What makes you "entitled" by asking someone who's wronged you for compensation?
The people who stole the data are the ones who've wronged people.

OT: Not really. Everyone's always out for a quick buck (that's why that moron's trying to file a class-action lawsuit), the only thing that needs to be done is for people to get a new credit or debit card.

An inconvenience, but they'd go out of business if they then payed everyone a sum that's worth receiving if you're trying to bleed compensation from someone.

I imagine they'll let people have a free something or rather though.

I'd like an apology, and to be able to claim my copy of Portal 2 on Steam through my PS3. I can't get the latter, and attempting to contact Steam regarding the issue has been met with 4 days of silence. That's all, for me.

i use a visa issued by one of the nationwide banks in my country. i asked them if i should bar my visa card and they said they hadnt barred any cards yet, but that i could get it barred if i wanted too. So i asked for clarification on what their recommendation was. They said they were following the situation closely and werent going to bar any cards yet. any cashloss i would have THEY would refund me.

Any personal information you can find on anyones facebook or yellow/white pages. Im not really scared. Its not that you had put your social security number on there.

Anyway, since the vast majority of the PSN users missplace the blame on Sony, they are forced to give a small patch on our bruises.

Shit happens people

Well, I would certainly like to get free stuff to compensate me for not being able to go on PSN or play Uncharted 2 online, but I think it should only be something like a free downloadable game or 2. I also do not know how fair that would be to Sony, but it would certainly generate some good will with the player base, so it could be a sound business move.

I just want to be able to play co-op. It's baffling how simply using the code from the packaging won't get you the Steam version. It's so frustrating that I have everything I need to get the PC version and I'm blocked by something that I can't control.

Just a free theme or something would do, I only have 3 dollars on my account, what are hackers going to do with that?
TO THE ICECREAM PARLOR!

OT: Don't expect anything fantastic, be sure they'll update their defences or something and maybe you'll get some shitty game for free (mindhack I'm sure)
