Forget The Free Games, How About PSN Credit?
May 16, 2011 in Editorial
It’s great that Sony offered PSN users the chance to download two free games out of a list of five PS3 title and two free games out of a list of four PSP titles. It shows that they’re eager to get the PSN data breach incident wiped out of our memories and get us back on the network. After some negative response to the paltry list of old titles, Sony pointed out that it’s hard to please everyone. Unfortunately, they could have chosen a much better solution to this problem.

Sony’s PSN Apology In A Nutshell
May 1, 2011 in News
Kaz Hirai explained that hackers probably broke in through an application server to access the PSN database, and that Sony was previously aware of this potential security hole. The company is working with law enforcement to figure out who took that data. A goodwill program to ease our weeks of offline gaming will include a free month of PlayStation Plus, a free month of Qriocity (their music service) and probably $20 worth of free select PSN content.
Prior to this hack, Sony’s servers were being attacked for a month and a half. But Hirai doesn’t think Anonymous was behind this particular intrusion. Either way, the new position of “Chief Security Officer” has been created for PlayStation Network, and everyone should ask their bank or credit card companies to issue them new cards just in case that data was successfully stolen and decrypted.
