IGN: The Lobby- PlayStation Network Down

IGN: "Today, six days into the PSN outage, Sony confirmed the worst. It appears all of your personal information given to Sony via the PlayStation Network, including your credit card information, may have been compromised. As a consumer, what does this mean to you? How does this affect you? And what of Sony's response to the entire ordeal? Where does Sony go from here?"

MehmetAlperTR5509d ago

Totaly agree with all of comments. Sony should warn us before.. Now it's too late.. 7 days.. wow.. Sony Wow...

RBLAZE19885509d ago

I only really agree with one comment from stephanie which i will post here. It is the most rational, logical and least paranoid conspiracy theory comment out of all of these "professionals"

"First of all, I think we
needn't so hastily
castrate Sony for this.
This sensationalized
decrying of Sony's
negligence is based on the information that
basically tells me it took
them six days to figure out what got leaked and that they
themselves were not yet sure whether any
credit card information was obtained. The
fact that they had to call in an external
security firm to aid in investigating the full
extent of the damage and intrusion is very telling of Sony's ignorance of the initial
damage. I can imagine getting to the root of a
problem of an unknown magnitude takes
more than a couple days. It may not be
that they withheld the information for six
whole days, which some people have led
us to believe, but that they may not have known the extent to which their servers
were penetrated or what information, if
any, was compromised. It's not fair to lay
the blame on Sony for now until it has
been proven that they knew the extent of
the leak on day one. Just looking at it more rationally. That being said, Sony should've handled
this much better. As a consumer, I would
have definitely liked Sony to have been
more transparent and open about the
investigation much sooner rather than let
the rumors fly and paranoia build. At the very least, the same warning notice about
monitoring your credit card transactions or
the possibility of user information being
leaked would've mitigated the hysteria a
bit."

None of the editors really know how long it took for Sony to find out the full extent of what happened and they can't just assume Sony knew the first day. If sony had come out and spouted information the turned out to be untrue and then had to backpedal, they would have looked even more incompetent than they already did. Most people don't realize this though because they get that mob mentality and want to instantly put the blame on the easiest target and burn them at the stake. I'm not totally absolving Sony but i know that they had to be 100% sure before they gave their customers a definet answer.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5831d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905831d ago (Edited 5831d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5831d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5831d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495831d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5831d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5831d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
