Me thinks Sony is trying,and its a good move keeping the customers updated and everything.Any company could have been hacked (I think it is mutually agreed to the fact that the hack is not due to Sony's incompetence) Its the way you manage the catastrophe.Its a really good move holding a PC and everything. Much weird as it sounds I would like to watch it live

Not much to do today :P

As everyone's darling GeoHot said :

 

"PSN outage is not the fault of "Sony engineers, the same way I do not fault the engineers who designed the BMG rootkit. The fault lies with the executives who declared a war on hackers, laughed at the idea of people penetrating the fortress that once was Sony, whined incessantly about piracy, and kept hiring more lawyers when they really needed to hire good security experts. Alienating the hacker community is not a good idea.""

:bigyellowgrin:

 

Anyways, there is a major press conference today in Japan by Sony. Speculation : they're going to give more details on how black their faces are, and possibly resumption of PSN services by this Tuesday.

Notes handed out before a Sony press conference today (timed so conveniently at 1am EDT in the US, and noon on the Sunday of Golden Week in Japan) reveal that Sony plans to offer free downloads of unidentified "content," 30 days of free PlayStation Plus access to new and existing members, and 30 days of free Qriocity service. The paper also says that PSN service will be restored "soon."

Two days ago, a PlayStation Blog Q&A post mentioned that the company was considering a "goodwill gesture" to PSN users (and sure, why not Qriocity users too) put out by the two-week outage. The company will likely have to provide much more dramatic gestures to appease all the government organizations who have taken interest in the case (and, you know, that enormous data leak).

 

Sony "Executive Deputy President" Kaz Hirai has yet to take the stage, so there may be more details forthcoming, like the exact date of PSN reactivation.
