"I got punished for not obeying the rules, so naturally my completely rational response will be to hack a mayor video game publishers site and upload a virus!"

Truly this person deserves the title of honor student!

No way. You don't have to be smart to create a botnet and attack a server. You only have to read a few articles and know where to look for the software. There are whole botnet tools on the internet with some companies even providing support on how to use them.

Apart from that, I hope the little sucker is pissing his pants. He's a cheater. I friggin hate cheaters.

Self-entitled little script-kiddy was lucky to get off with a slap on the wrist. He basically knocked out service for tens of thousands, if not millions, of customers just because he got his just desserts for failing to play SOCOM correctly.

And this could've been much worse if people were playing Assassin's Creed 2. No online = no gaming for anyone.

^ The Legion of followers one.
apart from that I'm glad the sucker got caught and I hope manual labor is the punishment. nothing like watching some scrawny little shit pick up trash on the side of the highway in the blistering sun.

Seriously, why get such heavy blowback from such a bad game?!
Was thinking the exact same thing.

Really, I mean of all shit to get pissed off about. Christ, I've seen fist fights at the local gaming cafe over Counter-Strike clan matches, and that feels less retarded.

Wait, wait, wait...
The PS2 had online support?
That is the only thing I walked away from this article with.

I know it's a terribly uncool position to have, but I say he had it coming. Another self-entitled dickhead with an obvious victim complex. A year or two of community service would do him some good.

I'm noticing the PlayStation website [http://us.playstation.com] is actually pretty badly hammered right now. I wonder if we've got some copycats/protesters of this DOSing it now.

Pfft, here in Alabama, that's the punishment for being late to school too many times! Hard labor in AL consists of digging ditches (deep ones at that; 20' wide and 10' deep on the interstate, half that everywhere else)... in the blistering Deep South sun... while correctional officers with rifles and bloodhounds mock you.(and no, I did not just steal that from O' Brother Where Art Thou, they stole that from real life!)
