PlayStation Network Hack Will Cost Sony $170M 189
alphadogg writes "Sony expects the PlayStation Network hack will cost it $170 million this financial year, it said Monday. Unknown hackers hit the network gaming service for PlayStation 3 consoles in April, penetrating the system and stealing personal information from the roughly 77 million accounts on the PlayStation Network and sister Qriocity service. A second attack was directed at the Sony Online Entertainment network used for PC gaming. Sony responded to the attacks by taking the systems offline."
Does the $170 million figure include compensation for PSN subscribers who suffered from the outage?
Yeah, but they can make it up in volume (Score:5, Funny)
All they need to do is add a bunch more PSN subscribers, and they can make it up in monthly subscription fees.
Problem solved. You're welcome, Sony.

Peanuts are expensive. There'll be probably three to the package, like what the airlines serve.. to save weight, of course
