InFAMOUS15462d ago

No date for PSN return sucks, especially knowing the date is SO closeeeee

ImHereNow5462d ago

dont be scurred and confoosed

Commander_TK5462d ago

@ImHereNow

Or you play on steam, aka the service that shits on both PSN and XL.

Istanbull5462d ago

Wednesday.

Make.believe

HolyOrangeCows5462d ago

I was definitely hoping for a more specific return window.

So no CC info and no passwords were leaked....
Soooooo many BS articles lied about this or made rumors from stupid NeoGoof troll posts and clueless idiots who got their info stolen from other sources.

Lifendz5461d ago

Happy to see Sony is keeping us in the loop. It's going to be crazy when it goes back up. Anyone up for some Killzone 3?

PSN: Lifendz

I_find_it_funny5461d ago (Edited 5461d ago )

Man, it's really depressing man. I don't have any PC games.
been playing a little of this battlefield play4free for a few days now

@ImHereNow, I don't pay to play online man, never will

darthv725461d ago

i just picked up uncharted two a couple weeks back and started playing it. Great game to kill time with while waiting for psn to come back up.

Yeah i am behind everyone else in playing this game but it is still a fun game none the less.

I havent finished the first before playing this one so I hope I am not missing any plot lines between the two.

04soldier5461d ago

Me too can't wait to jump back on killzone3...

Ill look u up on psn paul_mooney Expert tactician..

" While the passwords that were stored were not “encrypted,” they were transformed using a cryptographic hash function. There is a difference between these two types of security measures which is why we said the passwords had not been encrypted. But I want to be very clear that the passwords were not stored in our database in cleartext form. For a description of the difference between encryption and hashing, follow this link."

so no one email was hacked into like that past article stated then?

InFAMOUS15462d ago

Ya wolf there is a very good chance that article is FAKE!!! Just like the articles saying people had thousands of dollars taken from the credit/debit cards because of PSN.. They probably had the money taken but it was probably due to the fact that they replied to that Nigerian with 59 million dollars....

farrelljade5462d ago

@InFAMOUS1

'Ya wolf there is a very good chance that article is FAKE!!!'

its actually been posted on the official playstation blog!!

Nitrowolf25462d ago

@farrelljade

i think he is talking about the Gmail account stolen article, not this blog update.

unless i'm mistaking

Ocelot5255462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

it's practically impossible to extract a password from a hashed string. (unless it's a MD5 hash, but this isn't used anymore, except by amateurs)

now most use SHA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

so yea, those articles who state that their emails got hacked are prob fake

Every self-respecting developer hashes passwords(like me)

EDIT: disagree all you want, but keep in mind that I develop database-driven sites and applications for a living.I know about this shit

kneon5462d ago

@Ocelot525

Just ignore the basement dwelling expert disagreers who probably wouldn't know which end of a server is up.

Dee_915461d ago

but didnt they say in another article that the passwords were encrypted?

That's the thing. Sony is taking their time to create stronger security measures and they are keeping their customers updated on this. Apparently some people in the comments don't care about these security enhancements... All they care about is knowing when PSN will back online so that they can go play CoD.

Very Sad.

Scary695462d ago

The only update I want is when will the US PSN be up and running. *sigh*

IGAMEHARD5462d ago

in other words, this update means no PSN today, maybe tomorrow

peeps5461d ago

@ImHereNow

I was playing on live earlier actually, but I still want psn up asap cus I can't play socom on live...

wsoutlaw875461d ago

well now we know it was pointless for me to change my other passwords if they did use hash algorithms.

Godmars2905462d ago

rdgneoz35462d ago

Yah, they said online play will be available soon, hopefully before tomorrow / the release of MS:A, and the other functions will return within a month (most likely the PSN store, adding funds, and such).

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

So Saudi owns the world with Jews and the rest?

rlow12d ago

So they should focus on smaller markets?

__y2jb1d 8h ago

Anyone believing that these pigs are their friends is in for a very big shock down the road. Those doing business with them should be told to go live in the middle east.

blacktiger1d 6h ago

Something is wrong and the Americans don't care and the dislikes are like Jews and Muslim getting pissed

gold_drake1d 6h ago

i find it very troublesome that they are meddling with gaming ips, buying stock etc.

they even bought some capcom stock.
