Sony sending details on PSN service extensions following downtime

As promised, Sony will extend subscriptions for PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Now, and video rentals for active accounts as a result of the recent PlayStation Network outage.

It isn't clear how long Sony will extend the subscriptions for, but that should be included in the email that will be sent out "starting this week."

For comparison, Sony offered users a five-day extension to their PlayStation service subscriptions during 2014's major outage. The most recent problems only lasted 10-or-so hours; however, we've had some hiccups in service since — so we'll have to wait and see what Sony considers fair compensation for the lost time.
