I'm with side on Sony no matter what, Geohot was sued because he hacked the PS3 and basically opened a massive gateway to hackers and modders alike on the PS3.

Anonymous was then formed against Sony and 2 weeks later, what do you know? PSN IS DOWN.

Istanbull5546d ago

WHY... is this even a question? Who's side we're on, really? We're on the side of SONY! We're the victims!

Why should I side with the people who DENY me my online playtime?!!!

If anything happened the past 2 3 weeks is that, people got more respect and sympathy towards Sony and full of hatred against gayohot, anonymous, hackers and anything that stood for Anti-Sony propaganda.

YES people are frustrated, not on Sony but on the hackers because the network is down!

zeksta5546d ago

There is no question as to "Why" it's simple.

Hacker's have simply breached PSN, once done so have tried to obtain information of users, thus Sony had to forcefully close down PSN before the hackers got anywhere closer to retrieving more Data.

hay5546d ago (Edited 5546d ago )

You're pretty much spot on Istanbull. People jump on the hate train towards victim station.
No system is 100% safe and each one of them will sooner or later fell on it's knees.
Sony is not to blame since they're doing all they can to handle the situation, according to reports they didn't put any obvious vulnerabilities, but people prefer to live in denial blaming entity which they could identify and sue.
Blame GeoHot, Anons, hackers and cheaters. They're responsible in some way for this case.

M-Easy5546d ago

Agreed, there has been a ton of stupid articles to come out of this attack but this takes the cake. Sony was attacked a robbed & you question to blame the victim?

Hey "techradar" if an old guy gets robbed at an ATM who's fault is it?

Bolts5546d ago

Why would I blame the hackers? Thats why they're called hackers! It's what they do. I didn't give them my credit and personal information. I gave it to Sony and trusted them for safe keeping and they totally blew it.

Information Minister5546d ago (Edited 5546d ago )

So if you go out alone on the street at 2AM and you get robbed, does that mean it's your fault because you were just asking for it?

I mean, why blame the robbers? Thats why they're called robbers! It's what they do. You didn't give them your tax money. You gave it to the government and trusted them to pay the police to keep the streets safe and they totally blew it.

The only thing I didn't like about Sony, is that they took long time investigating to have a conclusion (which I know Forensics can take a lot of time in their work) and lack of constant communication to the media, that's all.

But the Security of PSN, I don't consider Sony have the fault, PS3 Hackers are 100% Guilty in overall.

Simple, this wouldn't happened if they didn't got involved.
They are 100% Guilty, and now FBI, the Law and Sony are hunting them ( http://n4g.com/news/752990/...

In conclusion, I'm with Sony along with FBI in this.

hay5546d ago (Edited 5546d ago )

You absolutely can't blame them for being silent.
If you have huge responsibilities towards milion of users you don't jump to conclusions once you think what could've happened.
They needed to carefully inspect what has happened, what were the risks and then post official info when they were sure of the problem.
If they'd provide early info which wouldn't be accurate enough and they had to correct it later imagine the backslash from the people.
The truth is, you have to treat customers like morons in the business showing them respect and that you care at the same time. People are eager to overreact and panic as you can see on this whole situation.
Add to it the fact thay they could provide you with early, inaccurate info and you have your little doomsday people shitting all over their pajamas. Even more than now.

rezzah5546d ago

If you do use your CC can't you just delete right after?

Or is it stored somewhere?

jc485735546d ago (Edited 5546d ago )

i've used it a few times, but i always end up replacing/changing CC anyways. Either they expire soon or I purposely call bank to get me a new one. what has this world come down to? I get disagrees just for saying that. LAME. It's ok to be stupid you know.

rezzah5546d ago

Best thing you can do is increase your knowledge on a matter, that way you won't be in the situation of those who are ignorant.

ionlyneedonebubble5546d ago

We've gotta take SONY's side no matter what. Otherwise whats the point of having a PS3.

Bolts5546d ago (Edited 5546d ago )

Umm...what? So just because I have an iPhone I still have to support Apple if hackers get my credit info from iTunes?

y0haN5546d ago

N4G is full of deluded fanboys who side with the company that failed them in one of the worst ways possible. The definition of delusion.

jneul5546d ago

i just wish these hackers would actually get a job and put in a positive contribution for once rather than being the predictable leaches they are

Soldierone5546d ago

There are SOME hackers that do this for the good. They will hack into networks, servers, or do whatever. However they will simply turn around and give the company this information and tell them how they did it. Of course these hackers are also usually hired by companies too.

Too bad these "hackers" were not smart enough to do that. Instead they turned Sony and the hacker community against them. I guarantee if anyone of these PSN hackers brag online, another hacker will throw them under the bus in a heartbeat.

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 Souls5869d ago

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

Godmars2905869d ago (Edited 5869d 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.

ClownBelt5869d 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-Pyro5869d 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.

Anon73495869d 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.

RedDevils5869d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5869d ago

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