Maybe we've already read it ten million times before!
Oooo...kay!
So how was you able to do this? I tried it and it told me I had to sign into PSN to be able to use it! Of course THAT isn't going to happen right now!
1. Which group is the one doing the "vitriol", as you put it? Every time I so much as say Sony should share some of the blame for handling this like a bunch of jackwagons, I get nothing less that a full on assault on me by the usual trolls calling ME one! You're confused on who's supplying the hate (either that or you think only one side is capable of it).
2. Umm...if angry consumers who speak up about Sony's lack of urgency and transparency are not goin...
How many times are we going to hear this excuse?
Yes, I want my online experience to be without anyone that would be ready, willing, and able to take my personal information for malicious purposes.
But at the same time, Sony has yet to even give us a target date or a deadline to when they expect everything to be done and back for us to play. I understand the wanting to keep people's identity safe and all, but we've gone for nearly a week without any w...
O.o
You're leaving out the other half of that analogy that makes that even easier to counter.
If someone breaks into your house when you did all you could to make sure something didn't happen, then yeah, it is ALL their fault.
If someone does so when you leave all the windows and doors wide open and/or unlocked, then it's still their fault for robbing the place, but who's fault was it for not taking care of their own domain? I...
Well, two wrongs don't make a right. I feel like I have to be the voice of sanity here yet again.
Hope whoever did this to Anon (and to Sony) does get caught. Though we may not like Anon's tactics, doing so to them just makes us look like complete hypocrites.
They could be completely acquitted this time if it's the same guy who hacked into PSN. Would be TRUE irony if it was just some random person instead of someone from a particular group.
Probably the same reason why most of us do (and I have an account on Neogaf): because there is, at the moment, no other alternative to a site like this. There's really no legit competition that has the features that N4G does. This is why nothing changes around here: why bother when they have no where else that can do the things this site can do?
Thing is, I've wanted to for some time, and I've looked around to see the ways they do things like the temp system and w...
What is your logic for saying that? You're insinuating that they cannot have it both ways when it's clear that that's what has been going on. It's just that no one wants to accept that we can have our cake and eat it too, here.
Just the way most have done with this entire thing.
I don't own a 360...PS3 and Wii (used to own a 360. Couldn't be bothered by it because I was not playing it).
I've defended the PS3 for years, but that doesn't mean I haven't called Sony out on things in the past.
But the second I even say Geohot or Anonymous in a sentence, it's on, apparently. I don't even support Anon's ways here, but I think Geohot was justified. Is that wrong to say here. I never did support the hacker tha...
I skimmed through your comment, and it is quite obvious that you missed the point.
It wasn't that they couldn't afford it. According to the report Destructoid had, there was something better than what Sony currently had that they could've used prior to the hack.
It was that they didn't care enough to actually implement said security that they could afford.
And there a classic thing where people tend to forget that when we, for...
Sony was lax on making sure they had up to date security measures put in place.
I would add that they went about focusing more on some New Jersey kid because he looked smarter than Sony was than going after someone who had REAL evil intentions.
@Others: Seriously people, are we only seeing "Sony", PSN, and Anonymous/hackers in the same story and commenting before we even read what it's about? Is it THAT fucking hard to act like you have any sort...
1. Try telling the EXTREME people that. Good lord (I don't think you're innocent by any means with not acting like your sane about this, but...)!
2. I agree there has been blind hatred, and that has to stop. The problem is that the trade off shouldn't be that Sony NEVER gets called on on ANYTHING. That would make the fanboys who think that just as bad as the MS ones. This is the problem on N4G right now.
I've never seen ANYONE NOT say Anonymo...
Your comment is so full of fail I have no clue where to even begin with it.
Don't worry. The fanboys haven't seen this to suddenly rush towards the defense of a faceless entity.
*waits for the obvious people to tell me I'm somehow a troll for saying that and to give me a thousand disagrees...and for me to be proven right yet again*
EDIT: Nevermind. Just saw it below. It's started already. This epidemic never fails to take shape within seconds of these stories hitting the N4G front pages.
It's as i...
Wait!
You think it's was SONY that made these new quotes?
And you really think I would CONDONE this whole tactic that Anoymous would be doing?
My God, it's like you guys just hit disagree on anyone who even remotely sides against your favorite entity!
Like I said, I like Sony, too, and have defended them in the past. But that doesn't mean I'm always going to go rushing to the defense of some faceless entity ju...
I don't like the way Anonymous is conducting themselves as much as the next guy, but that doesn't mean I'm going to just rush to Sony's defense every single time, either. People seem to think that Sony is completely without fault at the hacks.
Since we're using analogies, when 9/11 happened, we all KNEW al Quedia committed the act. No one, outside of crazy conspiracy theorists, thought otherwise.
But after that, there was blame placed on B...
Didn't Sony say that they acquitted Anonymous?
EDIT: Here we go: http://n4g.com/news/754622/...
Then again, that was SONY that said it, so I'm not sure if it's just something they took forever to actually tell us, or something that they just wanted to tell us to avoid the backlash...or if they were actually ...
No...the world will officially end November 6, 2012...when Sarah Palin/Donald Trump get elected as US President.
You heard it here first!
Then we can now see that the very same people who said that Anon HAD to be involved in every way suddenly turn around and say that they knew they never had anything to do with it.
Personally, I don't care WHO did it, Sony. I just want to be able to use PSN again without you neglecting to protect us or you thinking that modders and/or homebrewers are somehow your greatest enemy. You saw how Bush tried to "stop terrorism". Don't be like that fucktard!
I like that Capcom is doing that.
However, with regards to a possible X9, I have to disagree with people that want the X series back to the old school SNES style graphics like they did with the classic series, as I don't think it would work as well. Whereas the classic series was, for the most part, on the 8-bit NES (6 out of the 8 games before Mega Man 9) and people would be so used to seeing the series through those graphics, MMX was not like that. It was on a variety o...
