Pre-paid cards basically take your money and make it fake money that only Sony accepts. Leave it on a credit card, or debit card, and it stays legal tender.Xannidel said:One idea I like is prepaid cards. After the PSN attack I promised to never use my card to purchase games on the PSN and would rather buy their cards. More websites should use this as well. Of course I can't find a bad side to using pre paid cards so I am sure someone can find a flaw in that.
But he still said that there was a breach and he did warn people to be careful. Sony didn't even do that. Big difference.Soveru said:"We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked."Jodah said:Valve reported on it immediately after it happened. They said they recommend changing your info/card. Sony took a week to say ANYTHING the the community at large. That is the difference, and it is a big difference at that.BDNeon said:Sony takes less then a week to inform customers of a potential credit card breach. Valve takes 4 months. Yet Sony are the monsters because they took too long, and Valve is innocent. I love internet logic.
Basically this:
jedizero said:The difference between Valve and Sony is that Valve, immediately after finding out about this, alerted everyone, saying that there is a possibility that stuff was stolen. Sony, after finding out about this hack, waited several days, almost a week, before going "Oh by the way you guys, we might have gotten hacked."
From Gabe himself. That was a few days after the hack and as far I can recall, there was nothing about the hacking after that. It is only 4 months later that we learn that credit card details might have been stolen.
