- Earlier today we brought news that Sony would be providing a year’s free identity theft insurance to US PSN users in the wake of the recent attacks, and the company have now given a bit of an update on how that will work here in the EU.
Writing on the PlayStation Blog, Nick Caplin, SCEE Head of Communications had this to say:
As I have explained previously, creating a similar [identity theft protection] offering for the many countries within the SCEE region is a very complicated process. Each country has a different way of handling identity theft; some offer relatively sophisticated services whilst others are much more modest.
We are currently in the process of identifying how we manage this situation and once the programme is ready to launch, we will provide details of exactly which services are available in each country and explain how to sign up. We hope to do this early next week.
Caplin also gave a little more information of what exactly will make up the ‘Welcome Back’ package that will go live when the Network returns. PS3 users will be able to choose two games from a list of five, whilst PSP users will be able to choose two from a list of four. It’s unclear if the PS3 games will be full downloads like the ones that have recently begun appearing on the Store, or just the smaller PSN titles, and equally it’s not mentioned if those who own a PS3 and PSP will be entitled to both offers, a choice between them, or a mix of the two. The package has previously been confirmed to include a free 30 days of PlayStation Plus and extensions to Plus and Qriocity subscriptions.
As far as when the Network itself will be back up, Caplin gave no further information: “Please be assured that we are continuing to work around the clock to have some PlayStation Network and Qriocity services restored and will provide you with specific details shortly.” The last we heard, the plan was to get limited access online by the end of this week. | |
