Sony Computer Entertainment America has agreed to provide $15 million worth of digital content to those affected by the PSN data breach of April 2011.
In the wake of the original issue, which compromised many users’ data, Sony offered a Welcome Back package of two free PS3 games, two free PSP games and a limited free PlayStation Plus membership. However, thanks to a class action lawsuit it looks like they’re going to have to dish out even more.
Sony has offered to provide $15 million worth of digital content to affected users, but the deal has yet to be approved by a judge. Should it go through then users will be offered the content in a variety of ways.
For those that had a PSN account in 2011 and did not claim the Welcome Back pack, the deal suggests that two of the following options will be offered; one PS3 or PSP game from a choice of fourteen, three PS3 themes from a choice of six and a three months subscription to PS Plus. Selecting the same option twice is possible.
Those that did claim the Welcome Pack will be able to pick just one of the options.
In addition to this, anyone who had a Qriocity account during the breach is eligible to a free month of Music Unlimited. SOE games customers will be entitled to $4.50 of free Station Cash, according to the proposed deal.
