Well the demographic fits 360 better, and if I recall right KZ3 came out around the same time - I'm sure most PS3 fans got that one instead.
Crytek has invested a lot of money to be able to develop on all three consoles, I doubt they're about to pull out and go PC only any time soon. Besides they can only pull a rabbit out of a hat for so long.
Considering what the press did to Socom 4, I doubt they would be very forgiving for what they would immediately call the getaway or eight days a 'generic' 3rd person action game. If it's exclusive to the PS3 it has to be very special and original they've made that much clear.
I know there's complaints and I would want a prompt response. But we really don't know if Sony acted properly or if their systems were adequately secured - and the lawsuits and investigations will determine that. But right now there's no real basis to blame Sony for 'poor communication.' They may have not known the data was actually taken, or if could actually be breached how it was. Everyone is jumping to conclusions, and worse repeating 'facts' that the hacker...
By getting mad at Sony, you're only Giving the criminals that got into that info EXACTLY what they want, you might as well bend over and prepare to take it again cause you'll be used again if that's the case.
Sadly most people are doing precisely what the hackers set out to do; and the fanboys are showing them the direction.
Go ahead and bow your head to your new masters, the hackers. They will strike again if this proves effective, and you will be victim...
That isn't a very good analogy, computer security doesn't work the same way. Even the best security solutions can and will be hacked if the intent and knowlege is there.
Where exactly did Sony admit personal info was not encrypted?? There's no proof it wasn't. I keep seeing that spread all over with no real solid info. Why does this guy jump to conclusions and assume hackers can't break encryption and decrypt that info?? of course they can. This guy brings up a point about how the data is sent, and nothing about how it is stored.
cause the info is now in the possession of hackers, and probably has been spread/copied enough times so that it will never be safe again.
well the hackers probably aren't going to use the info themselves, they'll just give it out to criminals to do that to make Sony look bad.
yea these hackers that were out for our rights..why couldn't they just send the details to Sony and help Sony build up their security? Oh yea that's right they were out for vengeance - and they decided to go after sony's customers instead of Sony themselves.
Do you really know what kind of security PSN had? No - no one does except the hackers that got in and Sony themselves. Tell me when MS had most hackers on the internet targeting them, and how their security held up then.
The most worry some thing about this attack is not the credit info actually. Its the fact that Name, address, date of birth, email address, online ID and password were all stolen together. People will use that to impersonate you for autoloans, jobs, phone contracts you name it. I got three calls over the weekend about auto-insurer telling me to give them a quote on a car I don't own - the info is out there.
To all you guys that say 'Sony should have had better security' I have firm belief you have no experience with securing computer networks - because if you did you'd know any network online is pretty much hackable. It just takes the determination and the willingness to do it and risk getting caught. Some hackers may have committed a crime - It doesn't mean they're about to get away with it.
I agree, While PSN was still online I had a blast - the CoOp is very well done- feels like a slightly more tactical Uncharted 2. The graphics are similar to U2 as well. S4 is no 6-7/10 that's for sure. 8-9/10 would have been more fair.
Black Ops had a luxurious review event, that's the reason for most of the CoD inconsistencies. These guys were indirectly bought out - although they'll never admit it.

Other games are getting fair scores, it's just that certain games we compare them too are getting unfair reviews.
The funny thing is that Sony actually get's additional media exposure due to all this, maybe that's even what they're going for (and yea it's not even Sony's fault). People on the PSN already have the console, they're not prospective buyers.
So Anon takes down the PSN - Sony stocks go up... kind of funny how that works.
I don't think the guys at major review sites get the money directly, but they do get payment indirectly (through swag, junkets, paid-for review event/vacations) And then not to mention the pressure of keeping advertisers on the site happy by making sure everyone advertising is taken care of.
Well they should have their subscription extended the amount of days it was down in the least.
Anonymous knows it will damage Sony more to take their network down, and have the blame lie on Sony. I still think it was caused by them
I don't want to have to be the skeptic here, but 30 days Plus and Qriocity seem like necessary steps to get people to put their Credit Cards back on the service (I'm sure a trial was already being discussed before this incident). The free content better not be something I already own either. What I really want to know is, since their information was compromised - can I give Sony a call and have them remove the other 4 PS3s attached to my account?
