.... for actually not very much!
After being unable to stop some nerdy hacker pulling off my sign-in details, name, address and flippin credit card info, and being offline for two months or so without giving me the ability to change my info on your network, you finally come back online offering me a bunch of games that either I've already got or have decided not to buy in the past because they're not my kind of thing. On top of that, for whatever reason, I was only able to download one of the freebies (why not give LBP a try I was thinking? and what the hell - let's have Infamous aswell) before I was locked out.
And your 30 day free trial of PSN Extra? Not impressed. Nice to let me have a look around but I'll be returning to the standard free service when the 30 days are up and don't even think about auto-renewal because it ain't gonna happen.
And what about three free films to download?
Resident Evil. Final Fantasy. House of the Dead 2.
Not exactly a great choice.
To say that I'm disappointed is an understatement. The 30 day trial of PSN is actually a good idea, but there's nothing on there to incentivise me to stick with it. Free 'Burnout Paradise' - whoopee. The vanilla version, for which the updates took longer to install than the game.
But why not let us have some credit to spend instead? That way we could choose our downloads, get something we'd really like to try. A film that appeals to the family for example rather than some distinctly average genre trash? Games that haven't been on the market for almost as long as the PS3 and which everyone has probably traded in a dozen times?
The only reason I'm sticking with the PS3 is because it's a pretty good Blu-Ray player, and a decent media hub for my home network. I also like the games I and the kids play on it.
To be tossed a few crumbs of appeasement in this way by a company that allowed one of the biggest and most expensive data thefts in history to happen on its doorstep, and I'm supposed to be grateful?
No. Not impressed.
Oho
