Sony Apologizes For PSN Holiday Outage, Offers 10% Store Discount Code

4.7
Not being able to play games during the quiet time of the holidays sucks, especially after unwrapping that brand new title or new console you’ve been waiting for. Sony knows that and that’s why the company is now offering anyone affected by the PlayStation Network outage over the holiday break of 2014 an apology in the form of PSN store discount.

Today, Sony announced that, between 9AM Pacific of January 23 and 9AM Pacific of January 26, all users will be eligible to download a promotion code that will knock 10% off any game or content purchase on the PSN store with the exception of PS Plus, PS Now, or Music Unlimited subscriptions.

Aside from those three exceptions, it appears that anything is fair game, though the discount itself is only a one-time ordeal. It can be applied at the check out screen of any PSN purchase on PlatStation 4, PlayStation 3, web, or mobile at store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com.

In addition, PS Plus members affected by the outage should start seeing their 5-day membership expansion as of this writing. Check your inboxes!

Honestly, I think a 10% discount is fine. PSN was only down for 2-3 days and at least Sony are giving their customers some type of compensation.

-Skittle I swear Sony always do this... Their services go down due to their poor management, and then they have to pay out in compensation. Not quite the service you would expect from one of the leading technology companies in the world..


Shut the **** up.
Would you rather them do nothing?
I'd like to see you stop a mass DDoS lol.
You're expecting it to be PERFECT just because it's a leading tech company, newsflash jackass, nothing is perfect.

10% discount isn't really worth to be honest.

I thought it meant an actual Sony store. I was about to get up and go buy a camera. Oh well, maybe next time.
