I hope it does cost them billions. It will certainly teach them to be more fucking careful in the future.

You forget that fanboys are unable to feel profound loss. Unless ofcourse it's the source of their own fanboyism that dies.
Even if Sony's gaming department doesn't go under if they lose enough money then we as consumers might see that in say pay subscriptions for PSN or higher prices for other services. I def agree Sony is at some fault here I am just dreading the worst possible outcome.
Yeah I really want the 2 pence I spent on the phone call to my bank!
Lol what is this? This lawsuit is stupid. I'm not a fan of Sony's recent behaviour, they have been downright evil, but they weren't in the wrong here (for the most part, they still could have better informed their customers).

Wow, people you're NOT helping. Sony loses the trust of their fanbase, their stocks take an extremely sharp nosedive, the stolen account number is the highest in history, PSN's been down for a while, Sony is blamed for what could have happened to anyone, and you want to have a class action lawsuit?!
*sigh* some people. :|

My thoughts when I read this:
Every time I read something about $ony, it just keeps getting better and better.
This show demands snack food.
Considering that most people seem to associate companies like Sony with D-bags in suits, I dont know how many people realize that those fuckers will probably be fine. Its all the employees who are working for the paycheck and their livelihood that will get fucked in the end. Whenever shit like this happens, they (the company in question) will always cut the lower rungs off the ladder.
Pretty much this. I'd rather have them try and hunt down the people who stole the information in question, find ways to prevent such a massive theft from happening again and start the long long road in getting the trust in their fanbase back.Shia-Neko-Chan said:
I will never understand this whole "Stick it to the Man!" crap people have been banging on about for the past few days. I'm pretty sure if that hacker stole your information you'd want their head stuck to a pike as warning to all hackers, just be thankful they haven't turned their attention towards you.
Okay, I will name one thing. That PSN pales in comparison. They are two different services, provided by two different companies.joebear15 said:
Also, there's a hell of a lot that Micro$oft's gaming division couldn't do. They are a less experienced sector, compared to SCE, and without SCE, we'd be without a lot of games I rather like.
Oh, and please look up the definition of fanboy, I just dislike the 360. I find it's controller clunky and awkward, it's online system unsatisfactory, and it's games library more tailored toward "SHOOTYSHOOTYBANGYOU'REDEAD!!1!11!1!" games, which, when bland and generic, which most of them are, I don't like. And, if you'd taken the time to look on my profile, you'd find an active Steam account there.
Now, adieu, and please refrain from quoting me again, otherwise I will resort to barely coherent accusations in your general direction... Oh wait, that's you. >=/
Doesn't the whole idea of someone hacking something mean that they outsmarted their target's system. I doubt very seriously that Sony had their network files lying outside their headquarter doors with a big, shiny sign saying HACK ME! Sony's information protection was probably just as strong as anybody's was expected to be. Sony getting hacked doesn't mean that they were being negligent, it means that there are some pretty darn smart and evil people out there.
