So, information on how to mod a console=ability to hack into PSN and steal identities? Shit...better stop playing KOTOR over Steam. After all, that game has been modded, so a hacker could use the game to access my account information on Steam!Awexsome said:
Credit card data was encrypted, but Sony admitted that user information was not encrypted at the time of the intrusion.Awexsome said:

I'm not switching, don't have the money. I do have a couple alternatives, Wii and PC, but I'll keep my PS3. More space for me.
Isn't it obvious that said hackers would just follow the crowd and break the Live network next? I mean, its like hunters following the migrations of a herd.

One fifth? That's it? Well maybe they'll take some of the squeaky voiced people with them. My poor bleeding ears don't need high-pitched swears.
I think the only thing that'd make me move to the X-Box would be a free gaming service.
Seriously, I got laid off and I pay $47 a month for net; there's no way I'm gonna shell out more for online service.

I suspect a portion of that 1/5 will move back to PSN once it comes back online.Veloxe said:

Shame, really. Japan just really hates the PC, it seems.
I, in my incredibly uneducated opinion, am starting to suspect that I'm watching the fall of the once glorious Playstation. If the bad news continues to come along, then the next generation of consoles I will be the proud owner of a Microsoft thingy and not a Sony one.
Or maybe I'll just stick to PC gaming.

As I've stated many times before, I don't OWN a PS3. Never considered purchasing one. I have a PSP with 5-6 UMD games and an Xbox 360 (which, to be honest, I haven't been using that much)
The ONLY game that would make me consider getting a PS3 is Uncharted 3 (never cared for the first two, but better late than never?) and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. If Versus XIII gets a 360 release, then I won't have to get a PS3!
Honestly though.. I'm cautious of the PS3 BECAUSE OF THE HACKERS. Microsoft has a set Code of Conduct in place against hackers and cheaters. Games are much more enjoyable because people don't have that freedom to do WHATEVER THEY WANT.
Sony's buckled under peer pressure by the hacker community because Other OS/Linux was removed and they were striking back against hackers abusing the console. Hell, the PSP has also had vicious exploits causing CFW, etc.. Let's hope the NGP/PSP2 has STRICT settings in place so hackers don't fuck with it..

Only 1/5?
Considering how much it'll cost Sony to do anything more than scratch their balls, I wouldn't be surprised if 1/2 of the people who mistakenly bought a PS3 were eyeing the xbox or PC options.
On second thought, scratching their balls will probably cause another serious system error and bump 1/5 up to 2/5 lol

Pretty much this as well. I just don't have the money to get a whole new console, games and other things for getting a 360. The hardware problems with that system have always kept me away from it. I know every system can suffer from problems but jeez...Wargamer said:
As for Sony? Get your shit together guys or else this could be the end....
Sorry to sound all drama queen but that's just how I feel about this whole mess.
Yes. But just like the Wii...they never store your credit card info. You have re enter it everytime you want to add pointsTiswas said:
