From the 19th of April, the Playstation Network (PSN) was shut down, isolating 77 million gamers from their beloved network. Time after time Sony argued that the PSN is back on track very soon and that for all the days it was down, the gamers will get some free gamers. Games that are probably too bad to play anyway. Oh well, as long as the gamers are pleased. But that’s exactly why I’m writing this post, because I don’t think the gamers are very happy with this happening.

First of all, the free games are not really chosen by the gamers themselves, but only from a list of four games. That really sucks, because if my online capabilities from my Xbox 360 would be denied to me for almost a month, including not being able to download demo’s or trailers, I would be quite pissed. So pissed that would be only happy if I can choose a free game from a much bigger list and not a list of crappy games that are likely to be already a couple of years old. If I was Sony, I would really think about adding more games to that free list and helping all those gamers a bit more.
Secondly, I hope lots of gamers will sue Sony for this, simply because I would lose my mind if my credit card data would be stolen from me and I would not be able to do anything about it. So instead of free games and a little free on-line time, Sony can count on an extra sum of money that Sony should pay to their customers.
And finally, did anybody notice how much time Sony took to actually shut down the network. Like they were thinking “Hmmm, wonder if they stop hacking by themselves, I mean they should have enough credit card data by now, right?” Just shut the whole system down immediately! God knows how many million credit card data could be saved by acting instantly.

Oh well, I hope that Sony learns from this failure and by stating that, I’m already at the end of this small post about the failure of Sony and my angry outburst towards them. I hope they’re are really ashamed of themselves. :---(

Stay tuned for my final blog post!
