Unless you were subscribed to Playstation Plus, they don't owe us anything. We paid for the PS3, not the online. The online play is a free service, and although it's present in most games, it's not the main feature of those games.
The PS3 itself still works, therefore nothing is lost.
the only thing sony owe us is security. and they owe us if money has been taken from credit cards, identity theft. they owe us an xbox+xbox live, where we can feel safe with our info
