Sony Online Entertainment says it will be "at least a few more days" before their MMOs begin turning back on again after the hack, which is better than *shrug*.

"In light of the recent outage of Sony Online Entertainment's game services due to April's cyber-attack, we are committed to compensating our loyal player base for the inconvenience caused by the data breach and lost game time while we improve our security measures," said a Sony Online Entertainment statement.

"It will likely be at least a few more days before we restore our services, and when we come back online," they added. They've summarised what free in-game stuff users get. This is on top of the fixed 30 day free subscription to your MMOs of choice.
