Sony says Trophies, friends lists are safe
Sony has issued its second Q&A regarding the PlayStation Network downtime, which reveals that Trophies, friends lists, and cloud saves are all safe and sound.
The PlayStation Network is still down, but Sony is reassuring fans in the off-time with answers to some pressing questions. The company issued its first Q&A round-up on Wednesday, and late yesterday released a second round of answers that deal mostly with games.
First, any Trophies you earned in single-player games while PSN was offline will be synced once the service goes live again, so you can keep plugging away confident that your progress will show. Your friends lists and download history will remain in tact as well, and PlayStation Plus cloud saves will be retrievable once Sony puts the servers back up.
The Q&A also reveals that Sony is working on some form of goodwill gesture to fans, saying it is "currently evaluating ways to show appreciation for your extraordinary patience." Players of PlayStation 3 MMOs like DC Universe Online and Free Realms will get a little extra for their troubles; the blog reveals they're working on a "make good" plan for those games, as well as hosting special events once PSN is restored.

Sony's sort of fucked no matter what.
If they hold off until they know everything of what's happened then people get furious with them for holding out on them.
If they let people know what they know as soon as they know it then they get screwed by bringing this into the news cycle over and over again.

I'm planning on jumping right back in, but then there are games for the psp that I want to buy. I'd guess that the average person is probably going to wait until something comes up that they want and then buy it. I can't see many people just stop using one of the best functions on their ps3/psp.

MY TROPHIES}/.

Are they certain the hackers didnt get to that too? It would be a tragedy if they find out what games we 100% and who we play with or if they just deleted it for ha-ha's. I think that would be 100 times worse than my name, address, birthday, phone number, debit card # circulating the interwebz.

Trophies ain't so bad. I've grown to like them more than achievement points in 360 games. They're a nice way to compare playing history against your friends (oh he favored those weapons in Uncharted 2 or GOD DAMN DID HE LIKE ARKHAM ASYLUM) and now knowing that they have set values (15pts for a bronze, 180 for a platinum, etc) and a set limit of cumulative points per game, it makes the "level" system make a hell of a lot more sense and feel less arbitrary.
It's reassuring to know that both the original data wasn't lost and that any new trophies since the service went down will be seamlessly synched with the online history when PSN goes back up. Thank god. Been working on these Portal 2 trophies for the last few days and daggum are some of them tricky!

I'm convinced that the people who don't want to pay a recurring fee for online aren't going to jump off the Sony boat until some other console can offer the same deal but with less downtime.

To me, this is worse. With the RROD, Microsoft didn't really do anything wrong, they built some hardware that had problems, something that happens, from the iPhone 4's antenna issue, to PS2 disk read errors, to the bad motherboards of the white iBooks, to the shitty contacts of the NES.
If Sony would have done secure encryption on all of our user data, and would have told us within hours of PSN going down, I wouldn't really care. But their lack of transparency in the beginning, and their crappy storage of customer information, Sony really fucked up. -

So... the entire PSN network is affected and they only compensate the ones that play their MMOs?
Its stupid in many levels, because first of all... if Sony wouldn't compensate the gametime lost in a game with fees, then it will be a good time to leave, because thats a really bad thing in a MMO. So its statig the obvious and then showing it as something special.
And its stupid by itself, only compensating the ones playing their games with fees, because, aren't the rest of the PSN users worth a dime to Sony or what?
As someone ( i can't remember who it was) said in another PSN related post, if someone messes with Sony, a hell of lawyers rains upon him, but if Sony messes things really hard, then nothing happens.....
Hurray for justice ¬¬.-
