End of Sony? LOL, far from it.. Sony isn't just in gaming, and overall it may hurt it's short term stock prices and revenue but in the long run it won't hurt them that much.

talk about over reacting a bit

everyone keeps pointing fingers to Sony yet when it comes to point the finger to the person that is responsible the hacker no one seems to talk about it the reason psn is down, the reason why some data got stolen is because of hackers

edit:
it wouldn't have been hacked if the hackers would have just left it alone anyone with calm and sense knows anything can be hacked if a government site can be hacked what makes you think psn cant be hacked

Or a turning point in society. Though this will ultimately hurt Sony's image, I doubt it will keep them down for long. Look at those automobile manufactures that had to have their government to bail them out with billions of dollars. They lost face and eventually it was forgotten. Could Sony have done a better job, of course they could have but you have to face the fact that the internet is not safe and do be honest it never was. Sony is not the first and won't be the last major company to be hacked. This is a warning that nothing is safe now a days. I mean look at all the info we give out everyday on the internet. Facebook, iTunes, Xbox live and etc, all our info is out there and is pretty much available for any hacker(s) to get. The internet needs to change for the better or people will continue to abuse it.

That games still work, even without PSN. Apart from some EA games, which we should be shouting at them for linking the actual game to the network and not Sony.

it will be remembered, guaranteed. clock fiasco? nothing compared to this.

LA NOIRE is better on ps3, news that I remember from this week

Sont's own faq uses corporate weasel words to describe the disposition of cc# data which is why you should take action based upon the certainty that your cc# was stolen along with all your personal data.

The only reason Sony hasn't admitted, and wont admit, that your cc# was stolen is legal liability.

But other than that, you should do what sony tells you to do, call your bank and request a new cc#. Although you have to read between the lines of the PSN FAQ to get that answer. (again if they came out and told you to call your bank and request a new cc# they would be on the hook for the cc# change fee)

Considering I got games to play even w/ PSN in a mess and my 360 friends have no games to play with their XBL working ya it is.

Your such a troll, you talk crap about ps3, bcuz you probably don't have one. but in the inside you know, you want to play those great ps3 only games. I also own a 360, and to be honest, I haven't touched that shit since I got bored of halo reach couple of months ago. now only my little brother plays it, thats why xbl its so full of little whiny girls.

Awww look someone's trolling the ps3 articles cuz he has no games to play xDDDD.

Lets be honest raising prices doesn't do that when no one's buying it. I imagine the profit it greater selling 10 times more at a lower price

Whatever you say buddy, let's all wear the tinfoil hats.

LMFAO Your comment alone says a lot more about you than anything else. When has one game not selling 10 million copies made a company raise the prices of their console? Then Xbox would be costing $5000 by now lol. You remind of the crazy drug addicts on the street rambling on about conspiracies. xD You sure you don't need a hug, buddy?

Its not the war. Its the RAM issue.

I think MS were and still are the richer company. They tried to acquire Sega back in the day (and considered doing so again more recently), they obviously bought exclusivity to Halo which was originally shown as a Mac title. I don’t think as a company MS can claim the moral high ground here. It’s a wilful lack of self awareness.

Of course Sony would try exactly the same if they had the resources, but when the PS2 dominated the industry was in a much healthier place with an abundance of great third parties.

This has been a depressing generation as far as first party decisions are concerned. The fact we are debating business plans rather than which game is better is a sad reflection of the state of things.

The world would be better?

MS was definitely a bad influence on gaming.

But first party studios aren't enough. They only make up a small portion of the industry. Without 3rd party there would be no industry for Microsoft or sony.Developing games take time and money and sometimes you gotta make moves to stay competitive.

Then why be so emotional and continue to talk about it. Xbox will never die be ause it stays in so many people's head.

lmao!!!!
