"It will likely be at least a few more days before we restore our services, and when we come back online, here is what you can expect for each of our game services.

"First and foremost, all impacted players will receive 30 days of game time added to the end of the current billing cycle in addition to one day for each day the system is down. Additionally, many games are offering a variety of in-game items and special events to welcome players back once our services resume (per the outline below). This is true for both PC and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system based products.
