Sony OnLine Entertainment has shown more compassion for Katrina survivors than Bush has

Important Message For Subscribers Impacted By Hurricane Katrina


In the summer of 2005 Hurricane Katrina left an incredible wake of destruction across the Gulf Coast of the United States. The damage done by the hurricane was unprecedented and impacted countless lives. In response to the hurricane, SOE suspended billing for over 13,000 players living in the affected areas to give them the time they needed to recover.

For the two years that have followed, the accounts of the affected SOE gamers have not been billed but have been preserved. Beginning on Monday, September 17th, the accounts for these 13,000 SOE gamers will resume the normal billing processes. If you lived in an area affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 please check your account information before September 17th to ensure that everything is accurate and there is no disruption in your ability to play.

Our best wishes go out to all those who were affected by the disaster and we'd like to thank our SOE players for their continued patronage.

Let's see... 13,000 people x $9.95/month for 24 months = $3,104,400

And that's just assuming all those 13,000 people did NOT buy the more expensive PREMIUM service.

Sony OnLine has done more to preserve the virtual homes of Katrina survivors than Bush has done to preserve their real ones.
