It's somewhat Sony's fault, the blame totally lies on the criminals that did this, but some fault has to be pointed at Sony.
But as a gamer, I would hate for this to financially hurt Sony, or even force Sony to leave the gaming business. I hope Sony can pick themselves up and come back stronger.
Sony have given me some of the best gaming experiences this gen and last gen, I hope they can continue into next gen as well.
It's really...
in the statement released by Sony
1) Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services;
2) Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened; and
3) Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network infrastructure by re-building our system to provide you with greater protection of your personal information.

Since the PS3 launched, Sony were getting knocked down from every corner, but they kept getting back up, over and over there was problems occurring, but they kept going. I think this might be a...bit too much. I mean this is extremely serious, peoples personal information, credit card info all stolen. I'm a Playstation fan since PS1, but seriously Sony must feel nothing can go right for them.
I just hope Sony can pull something out the bag and sway peoples decision. Becau...
Just get it up and running, I don't care about compensation.
look how sad this is, 1 of the largest gaming stores in the UK has a poster on their shop window...

apologies are overrated.
If they think that Battlefield 3 & Modern Warfare 3 are coming out for the next Nintendo.
THEN....
that means they believe that the next Nintendo console is coming out this year, and before November?...
Even if they announce the next Nintendo at E3, I highly doubt they are also going to release it this year.
As a PS+ subscriber...nope I don't feel they need to do anything.
I don't even feel like I'm paying to use PSN as a Plus subscriber, I still feel that PSN is free as much as it is for a non PS+ subscriber. I don't feel privledged and if I get something extra I feel every PSN member should as it has affected everyone.
PS+ wasnt about paying to use PSN, or having a better quality service online compared to normal PSN gamers.. It was for
...
Yawn, stop comparing, both have had problems.
whether your paying for it or not.
I'm a Sony fanboy, but c'mon if this is true, what kind of security are Sony using!?, I'm not an expert, and I have no knowledge about this, but a big corporation like Sony should have better protection against these kind of attacks.
Sony are being really foolish here.
Media Molecule are telling me not to put any info in. But Sony aren't?
Sony should be the first people telling thier consumers what to do and not to do. Not a d...
I sold my 360, so I can buy more games.
So Brink, Resistance 3, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3 for me.
And Dirt 3, Infamous 2, Uncharted 3, are the only other games I'll be getting this year. I haven't bought any games this year so far. No games have interested me except LBP, but ima wait till it comes down in price a bit more.
If NGP releases in EU this year, then some games are coming off my list.
EDIT: they have f...
Same here, I finished black ops, most annoying single player I have played, I didn't want to know about the story I just wanted to complete it so I can get the trophy's. But...ohh nooooo you cant skip the cutscenes, and if you run in front of the person your meant to "follow" you have to wait for them to arrive before continuing. ergh, I could have finished it within 2 hours, if they just let me skip the cutscenes.
Also played Kane & Lynch: Dog Days, wha...
I know right, I wish forum moderators on the PS Forums, people who work on the Official Playstation twitter would keep us updated a bit more, see if the timeframe is going to be shorter than first expected.
They initially said 2 days at the most. ergh :(
But it started on Thursday, so is that Thursday-Friday = 2 days or Friday-Saturday = 2 days.
Yep and the guy that leaked this info...
sitting in prison, for the rest of his life probably, how sad.

and I agree support WIKILEAKS
Have not read the story, I already know what's its basically about by reading the description.
Its been going on for years, US soldiers killing civilians.

My family members have been killed in Pakistan (where my father is from) from US drone strikes. But I don't have any problem with Americans, just the people that run their country ye...
I thought they said they will be pushing every platform to its limit.
So why don't they? several people have said that PS3 has more power compared to the 360, most recently that Carmack guy said the PS3 has more raw performance.
So obviously DICE are not pushing the PS3 as far as they can otherwise it wouldn't be the same as the 360.
Wow looks fun.....for 5 minutes.
Then it will get boring like every other iphone game.
That doesnt necessarily mean a good thing, the only way to go get through to COD players is to make another COD-ish like game, so are they trying to say they are dumbing it down and designing it like a call of duty game to attract that user base?
hmmm.
I know they are going to say no, and people are going to say DICE wouldnt do that, but they work for EA, EA want money, DICE want to make a good game, but EA wants the easiest way to your money.
ergh watching this makes me wonder why doesnt Polyphony Digital let us look at the interior in cars in GT5. We already know they have all the interior's of the premium cars, because there's that glitch that lets you take pictures of majority of the inside of cars.
They must be working on a update for it, big missed opportunity especially with Forza coming soon which is going to have that feature.
you could sell poop with $500mill marketing, and some people in the world will buy it.
Sony were never going to spend big on marketing on KZ3, no point really either, GG messed up KZ3, KZ2 is still the best FPS on PS3 imo.
They screwed over KZ2 players..and catered for the CODish players, and neither group really liked it.
Same with the controls, they have the weight of KZ2, but the movement of COD, and mixed them up, and ergh sorry but perso...
Finally some real information, instead of "Sony breached blah de blah", "Sony in financial trouble", "analyst says Dr Evil wants 1 trillion dollars from Sony"
Atleast we know things are moving along swiftly, and i assume if Sony are providing new SDK's, we cant be far from the PSN being switched back on.
That's all I want, I want PSN back. Virtua Tennis is releasing this week, C'mon Sony, your advertising it like mad ...
