Probably the least used features; Picture share (share pics in real-time - shows the potential of what they can do on the network) & most of all; MOVIE party chat - watch movies/shows in real-time with a party of up to 8 on Netflix & Zune...not sure if Hulu supports this.
ESPN is another great mention too.
OMG! Wait...I want in on this conspiracy theory:
It wasn't MS! I've been telling ya all along - it's Ken Kutaragi! This is his way of getting back at his replacement, Kaz Harai!
Think about it! Sony has been steadily taking out features of the PS3 since he left in 2006. He had the same motive as Anon who's fighting for Geohotz. Also; Ken probably has inside info on PSN servers! He struck at the best time to make it seem like Anonymous &...
When you look outside the window of this website's EXTREME fanboyism....
you can distinguish which one actually broke the CONSUMER'S TRUST. (Or rather which trust was not repaired).
MS has broken the trust of consumers but they have successfully repaired that trust (as noted by continually rise in sales) by offereing an unheard of 3 year warranty, money back for those who spent money on repairs and finally; a new and improved 360. Some users felt tha...
I survived massive wars (MAG, SOCOM, Killzone), I've defeated gods, demons and aliens (GoW, Resistence,)...
But I don't think I'll be able to take another week of PSN offline!
"How long before a rescue team comes for us?"
"17 days."
17 days??!!" We're not gonna last 17 hours with PSN out!
"This little girl survived longer than that!"
Well Sony...W...
"if you want to draw parallels between the two, we should be giving our full support to sony; helping them bring down whomever may have had a hand in this "
YEA! And I propose we start a petition for Sony to charge for PSN just to ensure they have enough funds to cover the cost of security and maintenaince on PSN AND to find the culprits who did it!! I mean, c'mon! They bowed for 7 seconds!! 8 0
Because no company should be considered responsible if someone hacks them!
No company should be held accountable if they're hack and it comes to light that they don't have good network security, either! Especially if they apologize and bow for...7 seconds!! OMG
Heck, no one blamed, held responsible the American military, FBI, CIA, former President George Bush or airline security for the attacks on 9/11! 8 O
On November 30, 2006, Ken Kutaragi joined Anonymous to exact his revenge on Kaz Harai.
Well done Kutaragi-san! Well done.
So what's your logic for the FBI, Homeland Security and the House of Representatives becoming involved, if "this so called "breach" was one of the least dangerous online intrusions you've ever seen"...genious???!
Trying to fight an online hacker group like Anon is like fighting yourself!
What constitutes being a member of Anon? Do you fill out an application? Do you take punches & licks like the Crips? Do they have business cards? Uniforms?
Any and everyone could be Anon. Maybe Ken Kutaragi helped them as revenge against Kaz??? Motive is there! LOL
In other words; All they can do is HOPE they can trace the breach to any and all users.
Remember; Sony knew about the faulty PS2s and the overheating original PS1s (when you had to turn it upside-down for it to work).
They never admitted to the PS1, they just redesigned it.
They originally didn't admit to the PS2 either but kept charging customers to fix it even though many were well within their warranty period. They admitted only after a class action lawsuit was established.
Their admittance here is shocking, giving their...
This is what transpired on C-Span.
100 million breaches per year = total ave. for ALL companies COMBINED.
This year Sony ALONE had 100 million breaches (ruff est.) 77+ million PSN + 24+ thousand SOE
To secure/fix each acct will cost (est.) $221 per acct. which equates to $21 BILLION - NOT including the tax dollars spent for Homeland & the FBI to investigate & hopefully find the culprits.
BTW Sony says the file left s...
between my Eyefinty setup w/steam & xbl, it wouldn't DIRECTLY effect me.
But the gaming industry would be effected. Devs would have to add more content or do something extra to make up for no multiplayer in multiplat games. MS & others would probably slack off on features & content because of a lack of competition. A lot of things would change for the worse.
Put it back up, Sony...even if you have to charge....hold on a sec...I just thought...
gimmie some bubbles
idk been playing xbl & steam
Of course XBL is hackable! ANY and ALL networks is hackable as long as they are turned on the only way not to get hacked)!
The question is whether it would be worth it in terms of time & cost to do it.
A better question is; how much stronger will PSN's security be after it comes back online? The hackers have won that one. Will they try again?
Hopefully they'll get caught before they can get the chance!
Sadly, I was merely trying to anticipate what might possibly be said in this conference - whether fanboys would want to hear it or not no harm intended. You know; SPECULATION.
I was expecting #2 overall and I see I was right! Too bad ppl take this sht too seriously to vote!
Harai JUST admiitted they have been experiencing attacks for a month B4 this sht happened!!!
OMG HELLO!!!!!!!
MS 'Auto-links' your CC info! If you use your CC once, it is auto-stored on the gamertag you used it on.
I am sure that Sony does this too but I could be mistaken.
VOTE NOW:
1. We will add new features (such as x game chat)!
2. We will give all users a free game/movie!
3. We will compensate all PS+ users (only)!
4. We will bring back OtherOS!
5. We will start charging for access to PSN (to ensure top security/features)!
6. We will (basically do nothing but just...) turn the system on [at a specified time].
7. We have captured the...
Agreed: Don't update unless you're having issues. - Rule of thumb.
I was just over there looking a few hours ago. I was wondering if they further refined the drivers for Crysis 2.
