Screw over Sony, whatever. However, you're also screwing over customers. I don't care how much you hate Sony, I do care that I'll be affected by your stupid ploy for stupid revenge over not being able to install custom OS's. Go bugger someone else.

Oh for fuck sake! When will this stop? I mean it is just getting old. If you want to pick on someone pick on Microsoft.

I'm really with you on that.
This is starting to suffer from Comic Continuity Syndrome.
Is this "still" because Sony removed the software feature from the PS3 and sued that guy?

If so, then the hackers' heroic attitude towards this whole concept is starting to get iritating.
It's hard to sympathies with people who are acting all big and mighty when they're causing so much trouble for many innocent bystanders.
These people are nothing but egotistical bastards who want nothing more then the "glory" of taking down a "Big evil corporation"; it's a shame they don't see it's people who play the PS3 who give them said glory. It does seem strange to attack the very people you want to impress but hey they must think they are doing the right thing however mistaken they are.

I know it's probably bad, but I always get a little frisson of excitement when stuff like this happens. Must be the inner radical. Sort of cool to see corporations being screwed around with by ordinary citizens.
Because obviously once you join a corporation you stop becoming an "ordinary citizen"...This is the kind of mentality that drives me nuts. They're not monolithic entities, they contain a human being or two you know...

No seriously this pisses me off. What's the difference between someone who works middle management for a company trying to get by and one who works for a small business? Well, aside from a bit more stability not much. We root for the small businesses and the little guy, but once the little guy grows and has a bit of money, he's suddenly the spawn of satan, screwing over customers as some kind of corporate fat cat...sorry, this rant was directed at no one in particular, I just grow tired of people referring to the "corporations" and acting as if those who work for them are subhuman (you could also replace "corporations" with "government" and it would probably still apply)

Dear Hackers,

All my DLC that I RIGHTFULLY PAID FOR is still stuck in the Sony store because you're all a bunch of immature pricks. I swear to God, if I ever meet any of you, the consequences will be dire.

Dear Sony and Federal government,

DO SOMETHING ALREADY!

Oh come on!!
Sony really didn't deserve this, and the worst thing is that they can actually easily bring all of Sony down. If I saw the people responsible, I'd totally act reasonable and call the authorities. I'm boring.
My guess is that the entire script of Sony's e3 press conference will be leaked soon.

What I love about this is that the first ever big scale internet war is between some dudes and Sony. In stead of, for example, google and China or USA and North Korea. Pitiful.

These hackers should actually go after some real bad guys like Iran or something rather then Sony because why the hell would Sony (a company on the open market) want to encourage pirating? There is fighting for freedom and then their is spitting your dummy out of the pram.

They want linux on their PS3's again so they can hack them again and still have the ability to play online

This is all about a custom OS?? FOR FUCK SAKE! GO GET A FUCKING PC IF YOU WANT A CUSTOM OS! Like fuck, consoles are proprietary, ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. That's the reason I don't play on console, rather have the freedom of a PC. Honestly, pretty fucking stupid people these hackers, aren't they?

I don't know about anyone else, but this reeks of trolling to me. First of all, the names(LulzSec?, Sownage?, really?), and why would they post their plans online at this point and not any other?. I'm also copious about them saying they've already succeeded and Sony just didn't notice.

Sony fanboy logic: "All hacking is bad, unless you do it to Microsoft, then you're our heroes forever <3 x <3 x <3"
Well, I can't disagree with that. I have a PS3 and X360, but...I really wouldn't care if Microsoft got hacked. I care that Sony is, though. >.> <.<

So the thing to get it back is make Sony lose millions and millions of dollars?

Well, this should be interesting...being a ps3 owner im intrigued to see how well Sonys new firewalls deal with this apparent 'attack' cant help feeling that it might just be a blatant attempt at causing panic through talk though.
According to LulzSec, they've already been successful, just that it's slow going. (If they're telling the truth, I imagine that the firewalls is why.)

Hate to be a broken record, but the 'If it's online, it can be hacked regardless of security' thing is...well...true. If someone wants something badly enough, they will get it.

I wonder what they could POSSIBLY take from Sony, though. What do they even have left?
Like a lot of people have said, i really dont get what they expect to achieve, its just pointless
Some people just want to watch the world(or in this case Sony) burn.

OT: I'm glad the only Sony product I have is a PS2....

I guess one thing we know, English isn't their first language.

That's Ingreish, they are speaking.

"All Your Base Are Belong To LULZSEC."
It's a old joke about a game called Zero Wing where the line was "All your base are belong to us".

Enjoy your little hissy fit Lulzsec I'm sure you won't regret your decisions when the companies you attack manage to find a way to trace the attacks back to you and you have cops busting down your door.
Yeah, they're goin to backtrace it and then they will alarm the cyber police and the state police!
Consequences will never be the same!

God damn hackers, can't they just leave sony alone, instead of harming them and their customers. Bloody hell iv'e had just bout enough of hackers and sony.
I will admit, I find this all slightly funny on a personal level (everyone with a PS3 telling me I sucked for getting an Xbox and blah blah blah Sony master race blah blah xbox suck blah blah jerks off to their console... then it gets hacked and they "don't want to talk about it")

I just find that part hilarious

as for the actual situation and not my personal "hahas!" yeah this is really wrong and something needs to be done about it... soon... and quickly... oh here's an idea, how about getting some actual computer nerds to work against the anon computer nerds..? because I somewhat doubt that you have uber nerds when you transfer my call to you "head of employees" and they're talking with a southern accent and have no clue how to understand the phrase "THE BUTTON ISN'T APPEARING ON THE SCREEN AT ALL, AND YES THE AV CABLES ARE PLUGGED IN!"

...oh wait that was my experience with nintendo... and they asked what AV cables were *shudders*

either way, this needs to get done and over with, and the less time people spend pointing fingers the faster we'll have a solution (in my opinion)

The former US president started two wars, killing hundreds of thousands of people. BP leaked countless barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Dictators in the middle east fire on their own people..... and these guys attack an entertainment company. Way to unleash some social justice.
BP didnt. The guys who they contracted to build the rigs did. Its like blaming you if a contractor installed a new boiler, which blew up.
I remember the big deal was BP knew about the rigs having problems but did nothing about it.

Pretty much, they're using underhanded arguments like "We want to be able to instal linux, a selling point you originally made for the PS3" **doesn't mention that with linux PS3's you can easily pirate games** "And we want to be able to have full online access with the modded PS3's" **translation, we want to play our pirated games online as well**
