I think I'll wait to hear from the likes of Lloyds TSB, Natwest and HSBC before I make my mind up of the extent of the breach. Never even heard of Smile.
I am a PS gamer, I've owned N64, PS1, PS2 and PS3. Quite frankly hate xbox and M$ (so much so that I bought a mac). Loving the disagrees though.
People are entitled to their opinion, and mine is that as a Sony customer, I am scared of the possibilities of credit card fraud and identity theft.
My comment, wasn't pro 360, nor do I care who is next on the hackers list. Sony f'd up and lost 70 million people's information. If xbox goes and tops that, I'll be commenting about how M$ f'd up. Don't really care about bubbles, only been coming here recently because of the outage.
Everyone has an opinion, N4G is crawling with Sony fanboys so its to be expected that they like to think this is nothing and not a problem at all. On N4G, I may be part of a minority. But I can tell you for fact, that in the bigger picture, you are the minority. This is a disaster for Sony, a nightmare for PSN users, CC details and personal info lost, the possibility of cc fraud, identity theft. I'm sick of seeing the same articles popping up time and time again. But don't just preten...
This is exactly what I was thinking. Now that they f*cked everyone over, they give everyone what they were asking for.
Sony are in serious trouble, if they are not careful, it is against the law, to not notify customers if there is a breach in security (no matter how small) immediately - so that the consumer can take the relavent action. Sony has left it too late, and our details are already out there and reports of people losing money are already rising. Time to go call up the bank, after this comment.
I am sick of Sony and their lies - spending the first 3 days claiming it was nothing, then...
They don't have much choice but to compensate after spilling the beans to the extent they have. This is BIG. I am already thinking about next gen, it will be much harder to choose between PS and xbox this time around (I was hardcore Sony).
Good Security.
Still error message in France
Mate, I really hope that your right, trust me.
I bought it for the single player anyways, the fact MP is amazing is just an added bonus, just play the SP you won't be disappointed.
Or the opposite....
Update, we haven't done anything yet, but we'll update you again when we know something.
xbox for me next gen (disagree if you want)
Sony have given me no choice. They haven't been telling us the truth. The first 3 days, they had no comments, then day 4 - we are rebuilding. Day 5 - 'we apparently know what we are doing now, but we still can't tell you how long we are going to take on it. Now fuck off'
They have been feeding us the same bullshit update for the past 5 days.
Edit: Thats 2 people with common sense an...
Its free because we payed 600 dollars to start with where as xbox was 400 dollars (can't remember exactly, but the difference was online costs). It is a free service, it is a very good free service, but at this time it could really hurt sony having customers remember this experience. I'm not gunna lie, I'm not a fanboy, I don't mind getting up and switching consoles and next generation I may buy a xbox and use their pay service. If sony reimburses me, it may make me forget tha...
Sony didn't answer at all, they read the same crap off the card, which is why us gamers are getting so annoyed with them, not because the PSN is down, but their lack of communication to keep us in the know has been awful.
It's called a joke, lighten up. Stop being a fanboy, I only own a PS3, I have friends that own 360, and I respect both consoles for what they offer gamers.
Good luck getting any KZ3 action out of XBL, let me know how it goes :)
Anon sure did dig themselves a hole, and they have definitely given Sony a point to exploit. Sony knows if PSN goes down the first people we will point the finger at is Anon, and that is not what Anon wants, so what does anon do... gtfo.
Hear me out on this before pressing that disagree button. But have you guys ever thought that maybe Sony is trying to get us anti-Anon (not that we weren't already) but so against Anonymous that they are just forced to stop due to demand of the customer (that they are supposed to be protecting). Because this could easily have absolutely nothing to do with anon, all sony has to do is pull the plug on psn and.... '... it was anon!!'..
Having said all this, I wouldn...
