We couldn’t have created such a compelling package without them!

Everyone will receive a mask for one of their female or male characters. Sony Online Entertainment will be compensating DC Universe Online players a free month  for their subscription as well as a ‘Batman-Inspired Mask’ for both male and female players all for the outage that compromised nearly 25 million accounts… damn right there better be some compensation.  Check out the image of the masks above.

View Version 2 Here
(different sub-titles)

– PSN is down meaning no online gaming
– PSN Users are reporting hundreds of dollars stolen from them
– Sony is being forced to reconstruct the entire Playstation Network because of this hack into the PSN System.
– PSN Users have even reported their linked g-mail accounts had been compromised.
– The hackers seem to have no vendetta, they are just bored and taking advantage of what they can do, as you can view their conversations with each other here.
– Sony cannot even find the hackers that caused this.
– All Playstation Store Update, Home Updates, New games that are coming out have all been put on hold because of this.
– There is no telling when the service will be back up and running smoothly.
– Will you trust Sony again with your personal information now that it might be n the hands of hackers.

Alright now I am not saying this could not happen to Xbox Live for the Xbox 360, but the monthly, yearly or whatever fee you pay to have an Xbox Live online Gold Account protects you and your information while keeping things secure, which is what Sony promised for free then adding Playstation Plus as an additional fee which you can see does not add any additional support or safeguard for your PSN.  Now the recently ten dollars a year that was upped for Xbox Live Gold in my opinion is well worth it.  So the $60 a year for Xbox Live Gold goes to employees making sure nothing like this happens with Xbox Live.  I’m not saying that the Xbox 360 is fool proof and certainly can’t agree with some of the prices of other Xbox Live Marketplace items but am happy to pay $60 a year to play online as well as have access to the Xbox Live Marketplace at all the times.

We have the full video for you. Check it out below.

As we reported earlier that name, address (city, state/province, zip or postal code), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password, login, password security answers, and handle/PSN online ID have been obtained by an unauthorized person.  Sony hopes to resolve this issue in a week.

Stay tuned with GamingBolt.com for more news and updates.
