Heh, well, I was aware of such risks before, but despite my hesitation to give my details to Sony (which was mostly because they said they would round everything up to multiples of 5€, meaning I'd usually give them some more money than I'd actually have to pay, even if the rest would stay for the next purchase), I didn't expect their security to be so lax.
Then again my address is also in the phonebook, so hacking Sony's network to get it seems like overkill. ~;)

No Class Action if the PSN terms & conditions require individual arbitration. At least in the USA.
I think it's Gabe's disdain for the old-style political cartoons. He just threw that on there as a parody.Quote:

Sony is going to be lucky if they are ever allowed to process credit cards again.

Definitely not PCI DSS compliant. :no:Quote:
According to Spafford, security experts monitoring open Internet forums learned months ago that Sony was using outdated versions of the Apache Web server software, which "was unpatched and had no firewall installed." The issue was "reported in an open forum monitored by Sony employees" two to three months prior to the recent security breaches, said Spafford.
Perhaps tonight.Quote:

It's really nice of those hackers to stand up for everybody's linux enjoyment on the PS3, no? Heroes of the people! :2thumbsup:
Well Linux functionality was really nice, so was the promised backward compability THE XBOX DOESN'T HAVE. But because it's Sony you get only a fraction of whatever WILL FOREVER CHANGE HOW WE THINK ABOUT whatever. Screw Sony, pity I need a playstation to play the best exclusives otherwise I would absolutely buy a 360.Quote:

Not that I dislike the japanese for anything, but the general kind of game produced by them tends to be more geared for anime fans, of which I gladly say I am not.
Than why prefer the PS3 the 360 version is almost always better.Depends on what you like I guess, you just have a broader reach as the best xbox titles are playable on pc as well. These obscure Japanese titles are hit and miss, but they are all exclusive to ps3 because Sony owns these studio's. I would absolutely buy a ps3 for the upcomming Team Ico game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHzHoMT5eRg (games you mention justify a purchage as well), but I don't need an xbox to play Halo or GearsQuote:

Also, Sony stocks fell with 6.75% since the outage, karma is a ***** I guess, I'm going to laugh at monday when stock markets around the world reopen.
Gears 3 and Halo 3+onwards are xbox only. I actually have halo 1 and 2 on pc :P.Quote:

second, graphics are better.
third, PSN is free.
fourth, the interface is (for me) simpler.
fifth, they dont seem as money-hungry as microsoft. MS points seem deceptive to me, whereas PSN money is 20 bucks for 20 bucks. so you know exactly how much youre paying, you dont have to pay with points for downloads while you dont know how much you're really spending.
Have you tried Valkyria Chronicles? Looks like crappy Japanese Anime junk, it's a fantastic game though.Quote:

Also - MS points are designed to nickel and dime you, since you can (IIRC) only buy certain quantities of points, and not the exact quantity you need to purchase something.
CR
As far as sony knows, I live 1400 miles away...my cousin sucks anyways.
I prefer the playstation. I just dont like having to pay to play a game online, especially considering that first person shooters (the games I tend to play the most on consoles) nowadays are pretty much worthless without multiplayer. Exclusives? Bah. I like the japanese crap that everybody seems to hate and I have a computer.
Ok, I've been pretty tolerant up til now, but this is getting ridiculous. i dont really have any sanctions to use, seeing as i already have an xbox and pc, but i guess ill be stuck with the xbox for a while.Quote:

Well could log in and do a system-upgrade, but because it's Sony it still doesn't work. Fail
It works in the US and Canada.Quote:
