The company is offering customers a 30 day extension to their current subscriptions plus an additional free day for each day the network is off line. During the press conference in Japan thei week, Sony executive Kazuo Hirai told gaming customers that that they would be able to enjoy their online games by Friday of this week and apologized for the down time.

These and other internal layers of enhanced security are designed to prevent future breaches of the company’s network and keep customer information safe
