Shud PSN owners be rewarded?

[Kaymish]

yes i think we should be compensated Sony should refund this months subscription to PSN to the users or give next month free

Spoiler

and because i know some one wont get it >) and what ever other smilies you like and yes i know its a crappy joke i just had to
edit i just remembered that when i first the title of the thread i thought what should sony (as the owners of PSN) be REWARDED for?

 

[Jason Danger Keyes]

The only person who should get compensation is whomever at Sony fixes it.

 

[RanD00M]

Shit happens and there is nothing we can do about it. PSN being down for a couple of days won't kill you so just relax and put the kettle on.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

idk

We just got Blue Toad Episode 1 for free this week. I'm happy.

I think they'll give us something, like a theme, maybe.

 

[Echo136]

Xbox Live: Paid for

PSN: Free, unless you get the premium service.

Therefore, this is a pointless debate.

 

[Naeo]

No, they shouldn't. PSN is free, so not having access costs you nothing. Ergo, you lose nothing, ergo, no compensation is necessary.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

I would say yes depending on the compensation. I would like a Persona 3 and 4 for PS3 just so i can play it

Sounds to me like you just want those games and are looking for an excuse to get them for free...

Hell, it's nice to have a break from the people on my list that send me a CoD invite when I'm clearly not playing CoD.

^This. =p I don't even own BlOps and this guy sends me about 6 requests a day.

OT: No. I don't pay for it so I'm not really losing anything. Obviously giving the PSPlus guys a couple of extra days would go down well but aside from that I'm not too fussed. I'm holding out on buying Portal 2 till it's sorted anyway.

 

[Cheeseman Muncher]

OT: Get off your high-horse PSN users, first you blindly accuse Anon of depriving you of your 10th prestige lobbies, then when Sony admits to shutting down PSN [http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/22/update-on-playstation-network-qriocity-services/] you kept the accusations flowing.

First line of that post includes the phrase "External Intrusion".

I wonder what that could mean?

 

[Coffinshaker]

since the PSN is down, doesn't that mean there's no hour long system updates for a while? cause if so, that's reward in itself! XD

I kid I kid... <3 ps3

 

[thejackyl]

The only compensation I want is that the PSN gets brought back up. Which is what they're working on. Those with the PS+ or PSN+, whatever it's called, are the ones entitled to compensation, since they ARE paying for the service.

Not to say I wouldn't mind some form of it, I just won't see any (most likely) since I don't ave a PS+ subscription.

 

[Davey Woo]

Your reward is that you still don't have to pay for PSN.
I'd be pissed if XBL went down for more than a day or so.

 

[joshuaayt]

We *do* pay for the service- with all the multiplayer games we bought. They require the PSN, and that functionality is why we bought them- now they are not capable of doing what we, as consumers, expected them to do.

Now, do I think we deserve some consideration? Yes, but not because of the outage itself- because Sony took so long to fucking talk to us, to at least let us know how serious it was. They knew what the problem was from the beginning- as they shut it down themselves, if I recall- and basically said "Soz, guys- place is totally down". Nothing else, and even that took a while.

We haven't lost anything except time, but as consumers we deserve at least a little more respect from them. All I want is proof that Sony gives a shit about us.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

PS+ and DCUO aren't free, whould you want some compensation if you were in the pub club and the escapist went down?

I was in the Publisher's Club and there were several times when I was unable to access the Escapist, such as on some Wednesdays when traffic is heavy and the Escapist is either slow or not working right. And you know what I got for it? Nothing. It's really not that big of a deal. Just play something offline if you must play your PS3 or bring a friend over and do split screen.

 

[Bags159]

Dude, you already get it for free.

Yeah, I totally didn't have to buy a $600 system to gain access to it. You can't really use the, "dude it's free", logic here when that was one of their selling points when they first released the PS3.

Not that I'm really upset, just pointing out your flawed logic.

 

[kittii-chan 300]

yes definately! i think you should all get a month free! oh... wait...

 

[SoranMBane]

Them working harder to not let it happen again is all the compensation I want, and it's almost more than I deserve anyway considering the fact that the service is free. Also, every minute PSN is down is a minute that people aren't spending buying things from the store, so they're already losing money because of this debacle. The only people who'd deserve any kind of extra compensation are the people with Playstation Plus, who should at least get a few extra days free to make up for the time they lost.
