MLB.tv 30 day trial (PSN down)

[aaronblrt1]

I just emailed Sony about the 30 day trial that we got with the game and if they are going to compensate us time back due to their outage. I'm waiting for a response.
I know we can watch the games online through our computer also but the point of the trial was to try MLB.tv on our PS3's.
I'll let everyone know what they respond when I get it.
Hopefully they will do something to right this one.

Shoot, I haven't even tried it since PSN's been down. That's super weak.

You can still use the internet browser and stuff, but I guess your PSN ID is tied to your MLB.tv account, so that makes sense.

There should definitely be some compensation. Until recently, I didn't have a laptop to watch the games on, using my PS3 as a multimedia center basically. So I can feel your pain.

Yeah when you go to MLB.tv if asks you to sign into the PSN. The two are tied together.

I was just getting ready to email sony, hope they email you back with some good news, keep us updated

You should be able to still get in there. The same thing happens with Netflix where it asks you to sign into PSN but after trying a couple of times, it just eventually puts you through to Netflix. I watched 2 movies last night and wasn't connected to PSN.

I tried, it says you have to be logged into PSN and just keeps asking to log-in over and over.

I think it has to do with your email address. Like when you login to MLB.tv on the computer you have to put your email address and password in each time. But on the PS3 it never asks you because I think it's synced with the email address for your PSN account.

In no way should our MLB.tv loggin be tied to our PSNid. Like DJ says, Netflix attempts to do the same thing but lets you in when it realizes that you can't sign into PSN. The MLB.tv app needs some work. I'm going to email MLB to tell them this is one of the reasons I won't be purchasing after my trial runs out.

I've been trying to follow the PSN situation closely. In one comment thread on another site a person posted the terms and conditions directly linked to this situation. In short it said if a service becomes unavailable or unusable there is no warranty on it so you are not required to get compensation. Thats the legal point of view. What Sony decides to do from a Public Relations point of view we will have to wait and see.
