Also people with the Marvel Dc world thingy arent getting any free days back yet. They say they are trying to think of a good will gesture... erm.... giving people the time back that they've missed maybe?
I'm not surprised, sounds like the game bombed hard. Gotta get that money from somewhere.

Also what are they doing then?
Doing what should have been done in the first place!
They didn't lie :|

No company under the sun should or would EVER admit liability for something if they weren't 100% sure of all the facts. Would you honestly publicly announce you lost credit cards if it wasn't certain they'd even been taken?

They did everything by the book, they took PSN offline, brought in outside experts & informed us of developments as they learned of them.

They said they'd give 30 Days of PSN+ which is brilliant, on top of that we'll be getting additional content for free too. On top of all that, if you're like 80% of PSN users, you'll have accounts for each region. That means you'll get 30 Days PSN plus additional Games & media for each region

So, in essence. Shut up Matty

No lies?

They said OtherOS was removed for security reasons: It was removed for financial reasons

They said hackers made the PSN go offline on the 20th - 23rs and on the 23rd they turned it off, when infact it was Sony who turned it offline on the 20th & they admitted it on the 26th, just to make hate towards the hackers

They said all data was encrypted and all connections were SSL certified: Lies again as charles is able to read the connection easily & modify it and the data is stored in a plain text file

Whats good about 30 days PS+? Any free games/themes/movies downloaded auto lock when PS+ expires and as i said the discounts come to free players a month or 2 later, the only good thing was Wipeout (which you got to keep) but i'm sure they've since removed that

I've said it before & I'll say it again, Sony brought this upon themselves & deserve all the shit they get.

When the 360 was hacked i don't recall anything like this happening, MS were smart & all data was encrypted and not stored on the system

Bitch Bitch Whine Whine, luckily you're part of the vocal minority. Most people are just itching to get back to Killzone 3, myself included.

I mean yeah, the 5 people that used Other OS must be really shocked, but oh well

And conveniently ignoring others. First of all you're moaning about getting a premium service for free, then you're ignoring the fact that you'll be getting additional content alongside the premium PSN subscription :unsure:

You're really saying the only good game on PSN is WipeOut? :P cause that's what it sounds like

As for CC details? As I've said countless times already, without the 3 digit security code you can't bloody well make any charges against the card, so even if Sony put up billboards with your details, nothing would happen. The big dude sez they were ' transformed using a cryptographic hash function' and after seeing an example of that crap, I'm pretty happy. If you'd like to post a walkthrough on how to get that from your standard ps3 and then read it, be my guest.

I just honestly don't see what all the fuss is about. It's an inconvenience to be sure but it'll hardly effect anyone (financially). And, as many seem to be forgetting, it could have happened to ANY company of Sony's size. I doubt a company as large, influential and powerful as they are keep their data in a donkey shack. I also doubt that similar companies (from anyone to Toyota to Amazon) have greatly superior security systems in place.

It's just another case of people blowing things out of proportion, enough to give anyone a headache -_-

I admit im not too incensed about this really. I've been playing through Yakuza 4 on my PS3 everyday nearly with no problems and iam confident im not gonna find my account emptied one day. And i'll be getting free shit so im happy.

This is to balance the thread about a bit with Gonic and Rayne's fanboyism though.

LOLZ Shitstationz 3!!! when it back up make a day free in your calendar while it downloads updates for 7 hours. Sexybox would do it in seconds lollol ihfhfhijehlsolsio

Ahem that'll do it.

Skilfully done XD

It's still an inconvenience for me though, I had no idea it'd be down so long...I reaaaaally wanna play online, or browse the store-front (which I understand will be down longer than the other functions)
