Christmas major gaming buzz has undoubtedly been DDoS attacks (distributed denial-of-service) on PSN and Xbox Live and Playstation players, it would take many days for online play again was an opportunity for PS4, PS3 and PS Vita.
As the downtime was so long has brickbats flew against Sony, and the main argument has been that you can not accept so long downtime for a paid service that Playstation Plus. This is obviously Sony manner of speaking, agree with, and therefore they have now decided to compensate customers for days PSN was not available during Christmas.
More specifically, they have added five additional days of the expiration time all Playstation Plus subscriptions (and all PS Plus trials) that were active when the problems started on December 25. This happens also completely automatically so you do not need to do anything yourself.
In addition, they also announced that they will offer everyone a 10 percent discount on their next purchase in the Playstation Store (discount applies for whole basket) for a yet to be determined date later in January. We’ll keep eyes and ears open for more details about this as soon as they come to light.
