Though it seems minor now compared to the loss of personal data, one unfortunate effect of the PSN outage has been the inability to watch Hulu Plus through the PS3.

Even though you can still use the paid service through your computer's browser, the iPhone and other devices, Hulu has chosen to compensate users for the lost PSN time by issuing one-week credits via email. The credit can be redeemed any time over the next two weeks -- it would probably be best to wait until there's a PSN again.

As a nice bonus, Hulu also assured users that "No personal Hulu Plus account information was compromised as part of the Sony intrusion."
