Playstation Outage Effects PC Gamers

PSN wasn't the only thing that went down.  Sony Online Entertainment's "Station" site experienced the outage as well, and now that it's back guess what?  FREE STUFF!

"Firstly, as a Station Account holder in good standing, you will receive 45 days of game time (30 days plus 1 day for each day of the outage) added to your Station Account. This game time applies to any game you have currently or previously activated on your Station Account.

For those customers on an active paying plan, this time has been added to the end of your current billing cycle. For all other customers, your time begins upon your first login to each of the relevant games. Customers must login by 11:59 pm PST August 31, 2011 to claim the game time. "

What's the catch?  Well, all these games all still suck... 

Just to clarify: That's 45 free days of DCU, if you've played it.  I haven't, so I don't know if it's any good or what.  I might use this opportunity to see how the old Vangaurd guild is doing, or to remind myself how shitty SWG is again.

Sony online had their own systems hacked, im not sure its related to PSN going down, rather another attack by probably the same people.this is fairly well known now as well.

Grammar Nazi: affects

The SOE stuff was related to the PSN stuff. The data was all in the same datacentre in the same attack.

So is this for people who just had active accounts at the time, or anyone who has ever had an account? If it's free I may reinstall DCU just to see if they changed anything since launch. My guess is not.
