Compensation for PSN Downtime a Joke After All...

So as the dust begins to settle after the Playstation Network's hacking, theft, and downtime, Sony begins to make promises to compensate users for their loss of time. Well, just like we thought, the blessing of Sony is more of a curse.

Sony is planning to offer free subscription services for PSN+ for limited time (usually 30 days) as well as provide special free content to users for their troubles. That sounds a LOT like a free trial for PSN+, a marketing ploy designed to capture people into subscribing doesn't it?

Well, it is.

I for one refuse to be suckered into this pathetic attempt to make things right by taking advantage of my situation to sink your teeth into my wallet down the road. How dare Sony take us for fools that jump at anything that's attached to the word FREE. My PS3 is staying with my custom firmware solely based on this fact. And to think I was considering getting a second PS3 for the online capabilities... pfft.

What do you think?
