Sony offers identity theft protection, little news on PSN relaunch
Found on Ars Technica on Thursday, 05 May 2011
Sony has given us a flurry of updates describing the steps being taken to get the service back up, the company has announced that PlayStation Network members will be given a year of identity theft protection, and Sony CEO Howard Stringer has offered another apology.
It's a simple thing to order a new credit card and change your passwords, but when we buy a game we expect it to work online. We want to play it right the heck now, and some gamers are going to be flat out angry after an outage this long.
Identity theft protection? Too little too late, I would say. Apart from that, if you think it's a bigger problem that you can't play a game than having your credit card details and identity stolen, you have a serious issue.
