Sony Sends $10 PlayStation Store Credits to Players as Apology for Christmas Issues

According to reports from sources like PlayStation Lifestyle, which claims to have confirmed the information, Sony appears to be sending rewards in the form of credits to use on the PlayStation Store due to issues that occurred on the platform during last Christmas.

This is not related to the well-known PSN outage that happened a couple of weeks ago, which became the second most significant problem ever recorded on the platform. Instead, this situation involves some problems from last Christmas when some users were unable to redeem promotional codes on the Store.

While this issue has been addressed with some delay, various reports suggest that Sony is now sending out codes for virtual credits worth $10 to those affected.

This issue seems to be quite limited, however, reports indicate that emails from Sony have reached players in several countries.

One interesting point is that this reward seems to be an additional gift. Many users who experienced the problem during Christmas were eventually able to redeem their codes, so the extra credit is more like a gift from Sony to apologize for the Christmas issue.

Given the controversy following the recent prolonged PSN downtime, it’s likely that Sony decided to act swiftly to meet players’ expectations and avoid further criticism of their platform management.
