As you may be aware,Sony'y Playstation Network is down in the dumps. To make matters worse, there is no clear timetable as to when the service will be back online, which is causing great frustration in the gamer community. The timing couldn't be any worse as the weekend approaches.
What, if anything, should Sony do to reimburse gamers for their trouble? Post what you think!!

This isn't the first time a wide-ranging issue has affected the Playstation 3. An error that completely stopped many versions of the console from working around this time last year tested the patience of many, only to be resolved a day later. This time, the error is further-reaching and potentially more disastrous for a company that is already being criticized to the nines.
As the hours and days roll by and gamers are unable to connect to the PlayStation Network, voices tend to get louder. A quick peek on Twitter reveals anger from all over the globe. Gera Rodriguez (@gerarz) tweeted, "Nada como estar de vacaciones con playstation network caido #Psn #epicfail," which loosely means his time off is less enjoyable without being able to play his PS3. And epic fail.
Another user, Eimear McClenaghan (@_Eimear) wrote, "Playstation network isn't working. #wtf somebody come fix it pls." Drew Jones (@drewjones24) simply stated his mood, with "Playstation network is pissin me off." Other tyranty tweets can be found by simply scanning the search string "Playstation Network" on Twitter.
Sony has yet to get back to us specifically about how it'll reimburse PSN Plus members for the outage. What do you think, if anything, the company should do to compensate for gamers' trouble?

ive said this in other threads already, but new threads talking about the same thing keep popping up...anyway...we aren't entitled to NOTHING from Psn. Fact is, they have the right to turn off their own servers whenever they want, or basically do as they please, without having to reimburse every tiny kids who cries about it. However, they should reduce ALL<<< their psn prices dramatically for a week or 2. this way, we can get games hella cheap, and psn can still make money, everyone wins there. example: make Mass Effect 2 which retails on psn for 59$..drop it to 29.99 or 39. give gamers an incentive to come back without compromising huge losses. Once everyone learns to STFU and quit crying, everything will go back to normal, for the people who hate sony for the downtime, go to xbox then, and stop bitching about it, i cant wait when xbox goes down for 2 weeks like back in 2008..and kids will cry and come back to psn.
