All very well but Xbox don't have better support and security. It could happen to any of them. Plus with Xbox you pay directly for the service, so you'd be even more pissed.

Out if interest, where are you getting this information or are you just making it up? How exactly do you know their security is no better than ps3's was? Are you some insane hacker or what?

The whole thing with xbox is you pay for better quality support, security, exclusives etc.. Also I'm pretty sure I read that psn's security had nothing on live's. It was something to do with psn only having like one master code, and live being behind so many firewalls.

a) Multiple firewalls would really achieve nothing
b) All security information is soley speculation since both companies have the common sense that for security NOT TO RELEASE DETAILS.

Surely you can understand why zak is angry? If you had web hosting with a company and their servers crashed for two months, you'd more than likely be looking for another company that has better support and security.

The main difference here was that it wasn't Sony's fault that they got hacked. If you want to be mad at something, blame the imbesiles who ruined the whole Sony Experience by hacking the servers If I had web hosting and the host died, I would be angry as they should be able to resolve it. IF, however, my web hosting went down due to a cyber attack outside of their control, I wouldn't be angry at them but the twits who lack any sort of life and prefer to spend their time ruining the fun and excitement of online gameplay for everyone for their own personal gain and their attempts at enlarging their cyber-penis.

And people should really stop mentioning how you pay for online on the Xbox for security. No where in the ToS, T&C and service information suggests that the money you pay for online gameplay on the Xbox goes straight into security, especially when Microsoft were attacked not so long ago too. It's such a weak, fruitless argument

Honestly if a hacker wants to hack one of them, I'm pretty sure they can get through any firewall they want if they want to devote a lot of time to it. And yes the PS3 had weaker security, but that doesn't mean Xbox's is so much better.

No, smart people don't disclose information on their security practices.

No, smart people don't disclose information on their security practices.

Nor should they show too much concern as it makes them a target
