Attention PSN Users - Your Information Just Got Stolen

I don't see how this is some INSANE issue. Okay, having all that credit card information (if the hacker(s) have it, I don't see how since theres been CC encryption since the advent of online purchasing) is fucking horrible and Sony is never going to get back the level of trust they once had.

But pretty much EVERYTHING ELSE IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD. And whoop-de-fucking-do that some guy might have my PSN password because THAT REALLY MEANS SOMETHING IF THE NETWORK IS SHUT DOWN.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's inexcusable that they spent a week pretending nothing drastic happened.

I agree with these things as well.

However, a lot of people online are super alarmist and like to see people wave their arms so THEY know how to react. You have to be careful about the precedent you set when you open threads like this. Acting like the place is on fire is only going to make people think its the smart thing to do.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sony shuts down PSN indefinitely

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Uh, I'm pretty sure they're aware that would only compound the problem and then finish them off.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Perhaps you need to look up what the word "indefinite" means before you complain about wording.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Uh, yes - words have many meanings and "indefinite" doesn't mean what you suggest unless you're a functioning illiterate?

How ya doing, buddy?

Yes, how clever for you.

FELIPE NO

Call me dense - but whats the difference between the SOE service and PSN exactly?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

At this point, the longer this outage goes on, the funnier I find it.

I would like a chance to play MAG some time this decade though.

(Strangely, PSN is down but game updates are still available?)

I hadn't even tried Netflix until you said something. I just assumed that I couldn't sign on to it without PSN being active. Weird. (It does give me the fucking PSN sign-on prompt four or five times before letting me in though.)

Yeah, I haven't been able to get Hulu on my PS3 either but it works fine on my Xbox
