If you have a PS3 or PS in 2011 will remember surely the sensational case of hacking of PSN, which led to the theft of 77 million account and personal data of subscribers to the service, resulting in a shutdown of the entire system 24 days.

Following this event, to apologise to their users Sony offer a "Welcome Pack" with two PS3 and PSP games available for free download, but this prevented not be subject of a colossal class action that has just ended in a plea bargain: Sony will offer 15 million well in PS Plus subscription and digital content to all users who have a PSN account at the time of the data theft.

Specifically, all those who took advantage of not "welcome package" will be able to choose two from the following options (also the same option twice): free games PS3 or PSP, themes PS3, PlayStation Plus subscriptions, subscriptions to Music Unlimited service or in-game currency SOE Station. Requests will be processed until reaching a total value of $ 6 million.

Those who had received the welcome package can choose only one of these options: free game PS3 or PSP, PS3 theme or PS Plus subscription.

Before you start to hand protruding mesh work or wires thinking what request, however, there is still to wait: the proposed agreement from Sony has yet to be ratified by a judge who is following the case, and this will happen in a hearing set for may 2015. Then it will take even less than a year before knowing how we can apply the various "fees". Of course we will keep you updated as soon as we know more!
