Well if the hackers did get hold of anyone's credit card information and they use it fraudulently, in Europe at least Sony will fall foul of the PCI (Payment Card Industry) rules which govern the storage of people's CC details. Fucking that up can lead to a fine of up to £1million and being forced by the banks to review all your security procedures and implement new ones, a rather costly exercise in itself. I'm not sure if PCI compliance is in effect in the US although I very much doubt it, given that chip and pin still seems to be a terrifying new concept for some people over there.
In general terms Sony ain't going to miss a million quid but the damage to investor confidence will really hurt them, as will having to re-build their security systems and the fact that people won't trust PSN for a while. This could end up being a really costly error on Sony's part. Jam it back in, in the dark.   |

It's having to tell GT5 that no I don't want to sign into PSN four times each time I play it that has turned me off playing it in the last few weeks.
Well, that and the five minutes loading between races of course. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Seems like it's not quite as fixed as they thought yet.

So the PSN store is back online now but there's no sign of free shit. Is this something we have to wait for or am I looking in the wrong place?
I was speaking idiomatically. |

The Welcome Back pack is fully up and running here now so you can get your free games. I left my PS3 on overnight to download Wipeout HD and Infamous and it's nearly finished a mere 24 hours later. Of course if I want to actually play either I'll then have to wait ten minutes for them to install then another ten to download the latest patches then fifteen or so for the things to load.
I'm no Xbox fanboy but holy shit does it take a long time to get to actually play things on PS3. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
