In the case of the hackers that's like saying it's pirate's fault DRM is in games. Sure they put it in games to help prevent piracy (you'd be stupid if you think it actually does), but the fact of the matter is pirates will circumvent these systems nearly immediately and only the end user (legit) suffers. This is over-optimistic implementations from corporations that do anything but help their sales. Pirates are not the ones implementing it, however.

Sony, as a corporation, made choices to implement their own systems, hackers pushed nothing onto you. And lots of hackers aren't "assholes" many are acting upon broken promises from Sony (Other-OS support), seeking of information (finding out how the PS3 ticks), and some just want to stick-it-to-the-man (which happens to be Sony).

I don't blame Sony for trying to protect their IPs, but they've been doing it very, very wrong. But it's them doing it wrong, not the hackers.

Of course the Anonymous attacks are indeed assholery. Can't really argue that and feel bad for you there.

Just got a pile of games. Darksiders, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and Swarm. I'll probably get Spare Parts soon, too. Also, I got Sonic Colors, but whatever. That's the only one I've played so far.

Darksiders is pretty good.
I didn't know Colors was on the PS3.

Uh, it's not. That's why I tacked it on at the end there. I got it for the Wii. Anyway, I beat Swarm today. Kind of a demanding game sometimes. Like you have to be perfect during some levels and during the bosses just to simply beat the game. But there's only 10 levels and 2 bosses, so it's not too bad. Wasn't really worth the $15 though.

So I just got done with Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. I have to say that I was thoroughly surprised. I thought for sure it'd be a generic, mediocre game with little creativity, but God damn, it was actually pretty decent. It's miles better than that 2008 Prince of Persia ever was. It's got some of the best platforming I've seen in a while. I wouldn't have paid $60 for it, but it's worth the $18 I spent on it.

Also, Spare Parts was halfway decent for a $10 PSN game.

I pre-ordered Portal 2 for PS3 yesterday, and I'm picking it up tomorrow. What, an FPS for the PS3, when it's also available for the PC?

Seems retarded, but I only did so because the PS3 version comes with the PC version. So I can play local co-op until my friend gets himself a copy of it and we can play on PC.

Yeah, the PS3 version rocks like that. I know another guy who's doing the same thing you're doing. I would get Portal 2 today, but I'm still broke from all of the other games I've been getting and I'm still only halfway through Darksiders right now. This game is pretty friggin' decent, too, by the way.

My PSN is exactly the same as my username here.
The games I own are:
Marvel VS Capcom 3
Transformers: War For Cybertron
Final Fantasy XIII
Mortal Kombat
I don't play games online unless they have co-op features. I became tired of playing against people who only know how to cheat in order to win.

My copy of Mortal Kombat despatched yesterday. Can't wait to get my hands on it, no idea who I should main though. The huge amount of content makes me want to sell MvC3. :P

Looks like online's been down since yesterday. A PSN blog said it will take a day or two before it's fixed.

If Anonomous is attacking again, I wonder if this will become a common occurence?

I don't think it's anon.
They're doing their best not to affect the PSN, I think this is maintenance or a big mistake or something.

I feel bad for all the Portal 2 co-op users right now. I need to convince a friend to get this game cause co-op sounds pretty fun.

Platted Ar tonelico Qoga a few days ago.
It's nice to get away from all the turn-based games I've been playing.
The game has kept me excited for 96 hours before I had to wait 4 more to get the last 100 hour trophy.

If I had RL friends to play with, I'd get Mortal Kombat. Other than that, not interested. Lol, online pass for 10 dollars?
Haven't really been interested in the Portal series since I'm not a particular fan of Valve. I'd like to give Portal 2 a try when I get it some day.

Going to get Arcana Heart 3 when the PSN goes back online.

PSN has been down for about 3 days now(on the weekend, perfect timing). Does anyone know when it will be operational again?

Apparently Anon isn't really attacking them, Sony is just shutting down because they're afraid of anon's attacks. Whelp.

Anyways, the new Mortal Kombat is surprisingly good. I actually think it's better than SSF4. It actually feels a lot like SSF4 in terms of pace, but it feels a lot more flexible. Not quite as good as MvC3, though.

Didn't stop me. I bought the PS3 version so I could play co-op with my friends, and that's what I've been doing. Since it's not necessary to play co-op on PSN. Gogo split screen/irl friends

Moreover, if you want to play online and you have the PS3 version, you can still load it on your PC and play online via steam.

You just answered a bunch of questions that I hadn't gotten around to asking yet. It's nice to use your psychic powers for good.

Better get some new credit cards (and maybe change your name).

problem is, some of the information that was stolen is a mystery to me. I don't know what my security question is. I don't know what the answer to that is, either, though I could probably figure it out if I knew the question.

Good thing my password re-use is very low, so the password that was probably stolen doesn't work in many places.

I used fake information for most of my PSN account info, used a really old password that I don't use anymore, and never used a credit card, only bought PSN credits.
Does this make me lucky?

the information was compromised a while ago, right? So chances are, anything that was going to be done might be done already

Though I still have shit to keep an eye on

Well, crap. I can't remember if I used my generic password or a unique one....

Then again even if they have my passwords I'd like to see them get their hands on any of my usernames/numbers for anything I really care about. As for credit card... well being a debit credit kinda helps here, can't lose anything if I have nothing to lose XD.


Anyway - I assume someone here is PS3 savvy, is there any cheap/easy way to get either screenshots or video recordings off your PS3. Ie, I play a game and want to record my boss fight or something.

Capture card comes into mind but that's probably not the cheapest nor the easiest method.

So I called my bank today because of the breach, and I got as far as "I'm calling in response to the recent Playst-" before he interrupted me. I probably could have just said "PSN" after hello and he'd have completely gotten my meaning, hah

Today I learned that my bank has a pretty awesome fraud policy in place, though, so I'm not going to lose any money even if my card gets used for something.

I learned that Sony knew about the compromise about a week before they actually informed everyone so whoever caused the breach has a huge head start on doing anything with that information. I never registered my credit card on my profile and everything except my email and password is false information so I consider myself very fortunate.

I read earlier today that people tend to only be paranoid for about 90 days after learning about something like this, so it's entirely possible that the data just isn't going to be used until people stop caring about it.

I realized earlier today that pretty much all my PSN information other than my name/email is wrong. I've moved twice since I created my account, so all that address information is useless. And since 77 million accounts have been compromised, it's probably gonna take a while before yours gets used. Every time that DB is queried, there's a 1/77000000 chance it's you (actually odds are probably higher for those of us with CC info up there)

In other news, Sony's been hit with a class action lawsuit, they hope to have PSN back up by the 30th, and with any luck they're going to try to have a better relationship with their customers from now on

Portal 2 is fucking awesome. I did some local co-op today and that was freakin' fun. It's a good feeling when you have to think about a puzzle and the solution just comes to you and it totally works. Also, I underestimated how hilarious this game is.

Got a source for this? All I've been hearing is that they hope to have "some" services up in maybe a week.

This article echos a few claims from Sony (apparently through Kotaku, but when following the source link I just get a "main page" on Kotaku, not the actual article) which suggests so:
Sony Online Entertainment says that it has a number of special events planned to thank players of the PS3 versions of DC Universe Online and Free Realms for their patience while work continues on getting PSN back up and running.

These events will commence on Saturday 30th April, although that is presumably reliant on PSN being back in action by then

though I don't care about PSN being down; nothing good is coming out of the Rock Band store these days and I've been too glued to Persona 4 to even play Portal 2 (which I don't use PSN for anyway, I'm just saiyan). So the fact that the PSN has been down for the past week or two hasn't actually affected me in any way yet.

It's 2011, you should have played Persona 4 several years ago.

You should be sharing in our collective misery.
