Sony security was not up to snuff. There's no denying that. But I do believe them when they say that they needed to gather all the facts before letting customer know what had actually happened, instead of telling the customers all assumptions in which case would/could have caused mass confusion and misinformation to be spread worldwide instantly. It was probably a tough call by them, and I'm sure they didn't take they position they took lightly. I'm sure they held countless meetings to come to the conclusion they came to.
As for the compensation package, we were already getting service for free. Like someone already mentioned, this is no obligation of theirs. They don't have to do it. When you think about it, they are giving up to least $40 dollars in game to a possible 100 million users. That COULD be up to 4 billion dollars in potential sales. That's just the games. I'm not sure how much the movies cost, or what the PS+ membership is, but I think they are giving more than their fair share of compensation for the downtime. I don't own any of the games they are offering so I will be taking full advantage.
I think a lot of people are whining for whining sake. I want to know the ratio of reported stolen info that has been used versus not. If your info hasn't been used, stop complaining about what's a "fair" compensation. We're you seriously thinking(every day) in your day to day life, like, oh man, I hope that PSN doesn't bite me in the ass today? No. But when something free is given away, all of a sudden it's not enough. *sighs*
