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.
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.Dak_N_Jaxter said:I'm really with you on that.windlenot said:... I still don't even know why. Where's their motivation?
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.
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...similar.squirrel said: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.
They want linux on their PS3's again so they can hack them again and still have the ability to play onlinewindlenot said:... I still don't even know why. Where's their motivation?
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?Cowabungaa said:Screw over Sony, whatever.

I...also doubt it. Very much so.Pariah164 said:I doubt it.Haseo21 said:Im thinking 4chan civil war. The real Anonymous is gonna take these LulzSec fuckers down!
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. >.> <.<LulzSec said:Sony fanboy logic: "All hacking is bad, unless you do it to Microsoft, then you're our heroes forever <3 x <3 x <3"
So the thing to get it back is make Sony lose millions and millions of dollars?WOPR said:They want linux on their PS3's again so they can hack them again and still have the ability to play onlinewindlenot said:... I still don't even know why. Where's their motivation?
Some people just want to watch the world(or in this case Sony) burn.Voodoo_Person said:Like a lot of people have said, i really dont get what they expect to achieve, its just pointlessKopikatsu said: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.)Voodoo_Person said: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.
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?
It's a old joke about a game called Zero Wing where the line was "All your base are belong to us".TheAngryMonkey said: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."
Yeah, they're goin to backtrace it and then they will alarm the cyber police and the state police!etherlance said: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.
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")hardband said: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 remember the big deal was BP knew about the rigs having problems but did nothing about it.Versuvius said: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.smudgey said: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.
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**windlenot said:So the thing to get it back is make Sony lose millions and millions of dollars?WOPR said:They want linux on their PS3's again so they can hack them again and still have the ability to play onlinewindlenot said:...
