God help you.
Great post there, mate. People need to start understanding that this is not going to help anyone, it's going to make everyone's situation worse. As if we didn't have enough shit with the DRM already, now everything might become so closed off that if you get a new damn IP, your games become unavailable. If you want to fight a system, do NOT try to show them why they should enforce it even more, show them why it would be a better idea to loosen it up. I'm sure this has just set us back many years when it comes to gaming liberty.poiuppx said:Ahem. I appoligize in advance for the following:
Fuck these hackers. Fuck anyone helping them. Fuck anyone who paid them, any support network they have, anyone who backs them. That said, I hope they do this. I hope the PSN goes up and gets taken down from the hack. Because then? Then their asses would belong to HS and the FBI, who right now are probably watching like thrice-damned hungry as all hell hawks. And I can think of no better fate for them then to be sent to Gitmo for life. Treat them like the little terrorist shits they are and let them enjoy 'advanced interogation techniques' till the day they drop dead from old age.
And while I'm at it, fuck Geohot for not discouraging this shit earlier. Little late to say 'Bad hackers, bad!' when they already fucked it all up, asshole. Your white knight brigade is just going to make sure any future system is so locked down that even changing your profile name will brick the damn console. All this shit means is the next generation of systems will be hyper-secure paranoia-driven crapfests, as everyone still in the industry will be fighting to the burger to make sure this never happens to them. And don't get too comfy, PC gamers; they can't screw with your system, but they damn sure will go out of their way to hyper-protect the games after this, thank you SOE attack. These hacks will just help to validate going more insane with the DRM measures in a desperate attempt to keep investor confidence from crapping out.
Long story short, this idiots just fucked the industry up for all of us. No death can be long or painful enough as punishment, and no life long enough for all the suffering they deserve.
Weird, horny British men. I'm pretty sure we could find one anywhere in Britian bro ;3Imp Emissary said:If thats the situation we're in then we just need to get a very weird and horny british guy to go after the criminals,icyneesan said:Sony just can't catch a break.

and defeat them with the power of their shear coolness and quick tongue! But who can we ask?....O_O Oh my god, quick someone get Yahtzee!
Tie em down and everyone who gathered around gets one kick (per hacker)?If this happens, every PS3 owner worldwide should gather together, we find these bastards, and kick the ever loving SHIT out of every one of these sons of bitches.
its true that anything is hackable but sony were being big headed about it, assuming that no one would crack the client is like me giving you an everlasting cookie and telling you not to eat it until i release the next cookie years later, eventually you will eat the cookie.Xan Krieger said:It's okay, they're new security was to put condoms on the cords before they inserted them.harvz said:maybe sony will get the message, pull the f****ng servers physical connections when you believe a breach is in progress/going to happen/has happened.
it would not shock me if they had some sign that they were being hacked, they wouldn't be so stupid to not have any secu...oh, uh, they were relying completely that the client (ps3) was 100% secure and not "jailbroken", oh dear... run for the hills.
i would like people to note, though i dont have a ps3 (not enough incentive to get me one), probably my favorite console other than the 360 is the ps2.
In all seriousness though, imagine if this happened to Steam. This kinda thing could've happened to anyone because no system is unhackable unless you unplug the whole thing. WoW could've gone down, EVE online (especially EVE because if I remember right it's on just one server), Face of Mankind, or even World of Tanks.
