There's also a "Playstation Plus" service, which along with Qriocity (terrible name), are the two services all PSN users will get a free month of when everything's back up! Yay! How generous of Sony to offer a brief free sample of their paid services. They really know how to treat their users.

Some are saying this won't hurt Sony in the long run. I tend to think it will. Not an enormous amount, but I think it'll have more of a consumer impact than when everyone forgot about the rootkit.
