Sony releases a mandatory firmware update

Sony released a mandatory firmware update today. This is just the "first phase" of relaunching the PSN. The update begin in the Americas, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Middle East, with a full restoration of all online services expected by the end of May, as originally planned by Sony. As a precaution the user will need to change their password upon logging in. Sony has said it will provide its customers with free identity-theft services for a year, including a $1 million insurance policy.

    Man, I didn't think it'd ever be back up! Well at least now Sony is taking good precautions.

    That's quite generous on Sony's part. Let's hope this doesn't encourage ID theft fraud.

    Wow, the hijack lasted for a long time. I heard a rumor they're offering free PSN games as well?

    Can't wait to get back on PSN, although I have been enjoying some of my offline games that I neglect.
