PSN Downtime Compensations Heading Out This Week

4.6

As promised, Sony will extend subscriptions for PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Now, and video rentals for active accounts as a result of the recent PlayStation Network outage.

It isn't clear how long Sony will extend the subscriptions for, but that should be included in the email that will be sent out "starting this week."

PSN update: check your email starting this week for details on extensions for PS Plus, PS Now, and video rentals for active accounts

For comparison, Sony offered users a five-day extension to their PlayStation service subscriptions during 2014's major outage. The most recent problems only lasted 10-or-so hours; however, we've had some hiccups in service since -- so we'll have to wait and see what Sony considers fair compensation for the lost time.

If you have received the email already, feel free to share in the comments below and we'll update accordingly.

I've been an Xbox user since the first ever Xbox back when it was released in like 2003 or whatever but lately PSN have been doing better things than Xbox and I'm wondering if I should make a change

Zib Something Microsoft wouldn't do, Sony is more generous and not all about the money.

Both are all about the money. That is part of being a business. Sony is just trying to keep their customers happy during the downtime.

DeluxeHazard This is a good thing to do on Sony's part. Whatever time is lost from their crappy servers should be given back to the customers.

I wonder how many actually got the extension..
