Disagree. It's a feature on the box and has sold consoles on the premise of free online gaming. It's hardly "free", just cheaper than live.

And I'm sure if you read the fine print somewhere deep in the ToS, you'll probably find that Sony has the right to terminate online services indefinitely and without notice or compensation to end users.
I'm not saying it's cool, I'm just assuming the worst about a company that clearly only cares about money. |

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Sony will do anything about it. I just think people have the right to be aggrieved.

Sony will also be giving everyone access to Playstation Plus for one month.
Which means nothing, of course, since once that month is up you lose anything you've downloaded

Pretty much, unless you buy a game that's been discounted. I wonder how they're going to handle it. If they automatically switch every single account over no questions asked, or if they make you sign up with a credit card so they can automatically renew.

Hmmm. Interesting. But yeah, what's the point really, besides the discounts, since all of it will go away after a month? Better off just giving people free stuff in general. Also, the free stuff better not be crap for Home...

Sony shuts down their Online PC Portal for fears it might have been hacked as well but Sony can't confirm it. An issue during their investigation of PSN might have shown something similar was going on in their PC Portal services.

It's beginning to look like this was a semi-inside job, or at least former employer. They laid off 200 SOE employees just days before the PSN hack and a lot of their security teams were shared.

Today, the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce held a hearing in Washington, DC on “The Threat of Data Theft to American Consumers.”Kazuo Hirai, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sony Computer Entertainment America, submitted written answers to questions posed by the subcommittee about the large-scale, criminal cyber-attack we have experienced. We wanted to share those answers with you (click here).In summary, we told the subcommittee that in dealing with this cyber attack we followed four key principles:Act with care and caution. Provide relevant information to the public when it has been verified. Take responsibility for our obligations to our customers. Work with law enforcement authorities.

We also informed the subcommittee of the following:Sony has been the victim of a very carefully planned, very professional, highly sophisticated criminal cyber attack. We discovered that the intruders had planted a file on one of our Sony Online Entertainment servers named “Anonymous” with the words “We are Legion.” By April 25, forensic teams were able to confirm the scope of the personal data they believed had been taken, and could not rule out whether credit card information had been accessed. On April 26, we notified customers of those facts. As of today, the major credit card companies have not reported any fraudulent transactions that they believe are the direct result of this cyber attack. Protecting individuals’ personal data is the highestpriority and ensuring that the Internet can be made secure for commerce is also essential. Worldwide, countries and businesses will have to come together to ensure the safety of commerce over the Internet and find ways to combat cybercrime and cyber terrorism.

We are taking a number of steps to prevent future breaches, including enhanced levels of data protection and encryption; enhanced ability to detect software intrusions, unauthorized access and unusual activity patterns; additional firewalls; establishment of a new data center in an undisclosed location with increased security; and the naming of a new Chief Information Security Officer.

It's funny. Working last night at Gamestop we had a customer come in bitching about the PSN being down. We're used to it these days, but what totally blew me away were his next few comments.
"Man, the fucking 3 (assuming PS3) is sooo much betta than the box. (Assuming XBOX360) That shit prolly got hacked by some angry box fanboys. Those fuckas just be hatin on the 3 so they hacked it so we gotta suffer. That's why I hate the box and people who use it." How moronic can you be? To blatantly assume that this was all done out of spite by a fanboy? It makes no damned sense. I swear all logic goes out of these peoples heads when this shit happens. He went on for about 10 minutes bitching about the PS3 and how it is far more superior to the XBOX, but we (my manager and I) just kept hitting him with facts about the pros and cons of both systems. He of course labeled us as PS3 haters, but that's untrue as I own all 3 major consols, but PREFER to get enjoyment from playing my 360 more so. What really got me was after 25 minutes of talking to this guy and his dad, he went home with a 250GB Kinect bundle 360, a used copy of MvC3, a new copy of Mortal Kombat, a used Black Ops, and the new map pack for Black Ops. |

I'd see about having Sony reimburse you for a month subscription for it while you're at it.

DC Universe Online players get credit, mask for downtime
by Alexander Sliwinski (20 hours ago)33 Sony Online Entertainment plans to give all DC Universe Online players a free month and "Batman-Inspired mask" as compensation for the current outage. The company asked players on the game's Facebook page to bear with them as "the complexities of the subscription server dictate how and when this will be available" and that the company will be releasing "more information this week." The outage is part of the overall PlayStation Network issue that resulted in SOE announcing earlier this week that 12,700 credit card numbers were taken and 24.6 million accounts were compromised. So, yeah, a free month and a virtual hat seems like a good start to an apology. |
