Sony shuts down PlayStation Network Indefinitely

No one's saying that, but it's like someone else said, it hasn't happened to Live, and I am 95% sure that it's because we pay for the stability and upkeep of our service, against PS3 users who think getting their online for free is a better idea

Just because you pay does not secure that it will never happen to Xbox Live what so ever. PSN has been around since 2006 and its been hacked in 2011.

[Southe,]

It can happen at anytime to anyone, no matter what systems they use. Iirc, Xbox Live had 2 weeks of downtime over Christmas a couple of years ago... :rolleyes:

Exactly, Xbox has faults to, like constant 12 yo screaming down the mic..

Um, It wouldn't happen to X-box, who would hack Microsoft (the people that make computer software). ???

And god giveth unto us the mute function!

xP 12 year olds can be dealt with rather easilly, an entire network being shut down indefinately cannot be dealt with quite so easy xP.

Actually laughed at that quote regarding microsoft xP

As with everybody speaking of the ps3 hacking. The linux feature got removed about a year - year and a half ago and the ps3 got hacked in the same amount of time as the xbox.. Because nobody needed to hack it. The same with psn, Sony didnt have this stance on hackers until recently, So they needed to be shown who was boss basically

This is so stupid. Why would one neckbearded idiot take down a whole network.... I hope the guy gets whats coming to him

Firstly, it is obvious that the PS3 has been targeted because of the recent "controversy" with hackers. The fact of the matter is, it could happen to any games console, and if the roles were reversed, people on either side would still be blathering on about the same thing. And hey, the PS3 is outselling the Xbox now, so why not target the more popular console of the two, eh? And then why not go after the Wii, because it's the #1 seller?

There is no evidence that the stolen details will be used in any malicious way (hacking is one thing, selling data is a different ball game), and if you're that worried, cancel your debit/credit cards. I won't be, because I actually read my bank statements and know that I can refute every single payment that I didn't make and get reinbursted. It's not armageddon, folks.

This is a good thing, Sony shouldn't be fighting people who are modding their PS3. I know "you can pirate games because of it blah blah" but some people use it for other things. You should be allowed to do anything with a console you purchased, not be treated as if the console was rented to you.

I'm glad people are fighting back.

But now I can't access online just like they cant access linux (f that is the reason), so its quite hypocritcal.

Anyway I don't mind waiting for improved security.

I heard Sony is gonna compensate everyone by buying them an xbox.


So glad I didn't buy a ps3 earlier in the year.
