The best selling game on bothe the 360 AND PS3 in europe is the COD. Face it, outside of Japan, FPS's are what's making the money right now.
How is that a reply to what i said?
I said i want to know that the company was doing the best it could, in line with industry best practices, to ensure that information was safe. That's all i want.
If you go to an airport with no scanners and anyone can just throw on a bag without it being checked, if it turns out a plane gets bombed, yes its the terrorists that bombed it. But the airport would BE AT FAULT for not doing the best it could, in line with ind...
"do we blame banks for bank robberies? "
If your bank security consists of one fat guard with a whistle and no alarms or security cameras, how would you feel about your bank after a robbery?
yeah......thought so.
Hopefully we get some kind of concrete information about how poor or how very good Sony's security was. I pray that the case is they did all they could to secure the data and not have up some low level easily defeated ...
You mean kinda like how the media rode MS about RROD EVERY HOUR EVERY DAY FOR TWO YEARS???
Which, IMO, MS FULLY DESERVED! I HATE to see customers get hurt and companies just shrug and get away with it. Everything must come out. How deficient their security was, how lapse they were at analyzing threats, how poorly they listened to people who warned them in the past.
And that could be a good thing. Cause if the answers to those are positive, it will prove Sony ...
all iw ant is in game music like i did with my xbox before it died. Why cant i play stream music from my pc during fifa or any other game i feel like? This would be worth the 70 million CC's as far as i am concerned.
@rob
Lets be real here. A small group of hackers were concentrating on Sony. Hots is not the hacker Obama. The VAST VAST VAAASSST majority of hackers were busy doing what they always do. Attacking Microsoft windows......
yeah, its crazy how many articles you get about something that is the biggest news in gaming right now.
That's like going to a soccer site two years ago and seeing a million articles on Ronaldo being sold to Real
Or maybe going to a basketball website last year and seeing a ton of stories about lebron leaving the cavs.
Or maybe going to a political website in 2008 and seeing a crapload of stories about Obama.
I HATE it wh...
"Also it's ironic you speak of airport security. The main reason why they stepped it up was BECAUSE of the act that happened. "
My point exactly. You know what can happen, therefore you STEP UP YOUR SECURITY so it DOES NOT happen.
At the end of the day, Sony is responsible for the security of its cistomer's info. The hackers are wrong, and i blame them too, but Sony should have been more proactive and constantly be checking their security.
All the hackers proved is that Sony's security has a big hole in it. One which Sony should have seen a long time ago.
I hope you don't think the same of airport security. I would much rat5her they are proactive and think of ways the sys...
Yeah its like the nuclear plant in japan WAITING TILL there is a fireball in the sky to tell people that they MAY have a problem with the reactor after the tsunami.
NOOOOOO. As soon as there was a sign of a problem they informed people IMMEDIATELY!!!!!. That's what you do. Doctors don't wait for a football sized tumor to tell a patient he thinks they may have cancer, as soon as they see something out of the ordinary they TELL YOU IMMEDIATELY.
Even MS ...
at first it was no big deal. But now i'm ACHING for an online FIFA fix. I don't like single player games as i much rather competition against other humans. And since my friends do not live at my place, we play online. Its getting really annoying now.
Like it or not, online gaming has become the norm now. you EXPECT it as the rule, not the exception. Its like having a game with a save option.
I mean, i don't want comensation or anything like that...
quit making sense dude, that just gets people angry, lol
But on a serious note, you are right. If there is a chance that my CC info is in the wild, tell me about it. Its like if the nuclear plant in japan waited for the reactor to blow up instead of warning people it was dangerous. No, they took precautions because there was a good chance. It didn't happen (Thank God) but if it did, people were prepared.
At the end of the day, its Sony's job to secure their system. They have to do everything they can to do that and look at ways that hackers can exploit their system and fix it.
Just like how airports are constantly upgrading their checks to ensure your safety. How would you feel if they don't do that and just wait for terrorists to find a new loophole, instead of being proactive with their security?
Sure, there will be things that they miss. But the b...
dude, you need to relax. At the end of the day, no matter how much you may love Sony as a company, they have a right to protect your information. At the end of the day, there is always accountability. And in this case the buck stops at Sony.
And i bet that Sony feels that way as well. BP didn't go saying it wasn't their fault, they did all they could and then showed the middle finger. No, they (with some nudging i'll admit) said that regardless of the problem we ...
JEEEEEZZZZZZZ
guys like munky need to get their panties unbunched. its a JOKE!!!
In time sof crisis, humor is the best relaxation. Laughing is good. Makes no sense crying about it, that won't solve anything.
As heath said, why so serious?
HAHAHA
Good way to prevent theft....just don't own anything :)
BTW, who disagreed? Someone knows how much money you have?
year to date its down over 16%. But it has nothing to do with PSN, their Q1 was very lousy, falling behind even their 2010 Q1. Sony just isn't doing very well these days. Profits are down sharply year on year.
I don't think its just the PS3, although it isn't selling as well as the PS2 (which they and investors would have hoped for at the least), its also the fact that handsets aren't selling as fast as they would like and margins have dipped as a result of a...
LIVERPOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
2012 BPL champions
2013 UCL Champions
You really should not base that on PSN. year on year its down a lot and year to date its down a lot. the tablets look interesting, but in a crowded android market and a dominant ipad, i don't see how its gonna sell, especially if the price isn't very low, which isn't really the sony way. factor in the fact that their Q1 was VERY lousy, even failing to beat their 2010 Q1 in which the recession was worse so yeah....you can understand why the stock is down over 16% year to date.
Oh WTF. I got excited fr nothing. I'm aching for my FIFA online fix. What an idoit.
