Has anyone heard of a different compensation package for ps+ customers? I understand that there is no way to secure the data that has already been compromised and they need a plan or securing all data going forward but as a PS+ subscriber I just lost a month of a subscription I paid for. I would at least like my subscription extended.

Freecycle.org http://freecycle.org/ is a great way to give any gear away. Each city has their own group. It sends out alerts and people respond. Most of the time they will come pick up the equipment from you as long as it still works. I know that a lot of under served schools in my area use the service.
