So Sony have release what people will be getting
Basically it's any two of:
LittleBigPlanet
Infamous*
Wipeout HD/Fury
Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
Dead Nation*
(which are games that a large number of regular PS3 owners likely own already)
[strike]and a bunch of other stuff I can't put here as I just refreshed the page and their server appears to be getting hammered.
No idea what the asterisks are for but they are there in the list of games (which i did copy before it went tits up).
You'll only get those if you had an active PSN account on April 20th.[/strike]
AHA! Page reloaded! here's the content:

Is that as good as it sounds?

So, after their whole online gaming network gets taken down for in excess of a month, to celebrate it's return they offer, in way of compensation, a choice of five games, of which only one has an online mode. Not only that, these games are so old that those people who want to play them, probably already have them.
Marketing is not Sony's strong point, obviously.
(wrote a big, long rant here but deleted it to spare you, my friend. it went on for a while)
/ also, why couldn't they have fixed their crappy voip at the same time?

Sony are in a whole world of trouble.
Consumers are stupid, though. Three months from now I bet no one remembers or cares. Assuming, of course, sony achieves something resembling status quo in the next week or two.

Because Sony are just shambolic.
They are vulnerable to even the most basic of exploits, and once in, with the minimum amount of effort, you've then got access to the whole database, which contains everyone's passwords in PLAINTEXT.
I'm sorry but Sony really need to be smashed about the face with a very large book. Consequently, I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.
There's a whole thread of vitriol at the hackers over at Eurogamers.
Sony is suffering from the exact problem that defines large organisations: immense inertia. The board can decree "fix it all" but a large organisation can take months or even years to respond fully.
Microsoft would be no different.
Sure, it's crap. But it is.
THIS JUST IN: crime is totally ok as long as the victim was vulnerable?
