If you figure out who did it feed him (or them) to us. I will personally shove my foot up his @$$, through his intestines and out his mouth. @ Ethereal yeah I don't get the premature panic. No one said that credit card data was stolen. However I hope the didn't get my PSN ID and password though. I would hate if those bastards could use my PSN money. That will get me pissed
The one who is truly responsible, the hackers of course. The ones who caused it are the ones responsible no matter how much you try to boomerang the blame on Sony. No one really knows how lapse or good Sony's security was.
Sigh. Sony didn't have the info to give you. They were not sure what happened which is why they shut PSN down. Not to mention they never confirmed that any credit cards were in danger. It was a warning not a confermation. But your right. Why give Sony a break?. No one has yet. So why start now?
Strange how Sony and another tech company haven't even figured if credit card data has been taken and yet supposedly lots of PSN users are reporting hundreds of dollars being stolen from them. I have only heard about 2 people claim that. So where did the other people suddenly come from? @ MrBeatdown. Logic to a mob is pointless. Don't even bother @ Codeman420. Yeah isn't it strange that the minute Sony says credit card numbers MIGHT be compromised suddenly it's tons of people ...
This is the first time anything like this has happened. I sucks a lot I know but really PSN has never being shown to be any more or less secre then any other service. Why attack and harp on this one event?
Well this is what everyone who cheered on Anon and Geohot wanted. An unsafe, wide open, lowlife accessible PSN. Don't complain. This is what Sony was trying to fight against while people stabbed them in the back and told them they were overeacting. This is what you wanted and now you have it. Happy now? Good. @ gamingisnotacrime exactly. they had to make sure before they blurted out anything they weren't sure of. But your wasting your breath. No one is listening
They can't really do anything with the info when you think about it. Really what are you going to do will 50 million addresses and names many of them not even real. The only people who MIGHT suffer from this is the credit card people. Take it easy people.
The point is of course everyone will blame Sony whether it is their fault or not. They are the only ones you can directly hold responsible. You can't blame Anon or the hacker because you don't know who they are and you can't get money or anything from them. So unfortunately fault or not people will run to Sony and try to blame everything on them. Of coursd if I COULD find the person responsible for this I would put my hands around his neck. @ FFXI101 maybe but do you really think...
Not expecting anything but if they offer it I will take it. All I really want is PSN back . Oh PSN, oh PSN. Where for art thou?! Mine heart aches with out thee!!!!!!!!
For those worrying about fighting people who are stronger or have more boosters while you are weaker relax. ND already said that they will match people according to the level your are at. So if your a noob you will be up against noobs. And if one person has an advantageous booster, you most likely will have it too. That should keep it mostly fair..
And whoever controls it will have us by the balls, You can't threaten to go to another console, you have to what they say and they can do whatever they want. Why? Because you either game with me or you don't game at all. Without competition they don't have to please us as much as they do now. In short you can't complain about anything. What will you do? Quit gaming? You could but how many of you will quit gaming forever? Everyone could slack off and make any junk they want and...
Go Sony
It would be a nuclear bomb if Sony revealed a new console at E3 too. @Shok All the game systems companies trash talk. Do you disrespect them too?
No, I would prefer that Sony not get into the habit of following anytjing that Microsoft does. If they did we would be stuck with tons of MP based games and be screwed anytime the network is down.
Can't we just wait see what happens BEFORE we get out the pitch forks and torches? @ Prototype. Exactly. Hasn't anyone heard the phrase 'anything you say can and will be used against you'? If they say yes it's all safe and it isn't then people will attack them and say they lied. If they say no the press and gaming world will massacre them. A very sensitive situation to just go blurting out anything.
It's amazing how people get angry because you don't get angry. It is the sign of a violent, ignorant mind. Because we Sony users understand that things like this happen and know where to direct the blame the ignorant haters and trolls get whipped into a frenzy because your not acting violent and running around saying childish things, stressing out and throwing temper tantrums.
You remind me of my father. He always thinks that if he shouts loud, makes a scene and stomp...
Man some people will believe anything. This story is full of holes. I don't even think you can use debit cards on PSN and how did he lose money on a shut down network? . Stop making up stories to try to ruin Sony rep. Good Lord, PSN goes out for more than a day in five years and suddenly everyone is in a frenzy. It's embarrassing.
First of all, Yeeeeahhhhhh!!!!!!! Second, I though Sony already brought Sucker Punch and Third a t this rate I will have enough exclusives to last untill the PS4 comes out.
What ignorance. Even the most secure network in the world gets attacked or broken through. Who says Sony's network wasn't secure? What happened must have been bad enough to have to shut down the network to fix the hole since this has never happened before. If you buy a strong vault and someone eventually breaks into it does that mean it was never secure? When people built strong prisons and someone eventually breaks out does that mean the jail wasn't strong? No.
W...
Yes. Before knowing just how severe the damage was they should have just run around panicking everyone. That would have been much better then taking the necessary procedures to shut down the network and find out what exactly happened. They should have made wild guesses, give half true answers and make lots of empty promises. That would have been much more productive. I know people are pissed but just imagine what would have happened if they didn't react by shutting down it down as fast as...
