Good ****ing job, Sony.
Yup this shit is just out-right ridiculous.. I'm gonna skim over the contracts and policies to see what I can do, cuz I just got an email from Sony goin over the situation and it pretty much told me that the culprits could have obtained some very vital information on me. And to be safe, I should pretty much edit all the personal information I can.
That's alotta f**kin work. Class Action, Here I Come!

Yeah, seems secure.

PlayStation Network Down: Financial Impact to Sony Minimal
PlayStation Network being down for almost a week now is definitely having an impact on some developers who look to download revenues to sustain their business, but it's also affecting Sony - albeit on a much smaller scale, according to Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter.It's hard to pinpoint exactly how much money PlayStation Network generates each day from game and movie downloads, as Sony doesn't typically divulge this data, but Pachter estimates that it's a fairly small chunk compared to Sony's global games business. The analyst called it a "small number," adding, "Even if they do $1 billion a year (and I don't think it's close to that), it's $3 million a day, and they only keep 30%."
For its part, when contacted for comment, Sony told us that they don't have any further PSN updates or any information to share on the potential lost revenue impact.
Digital is definitely a growing part of the business, however. Even a few years ago, PSN being down for a sustained period of time wouldn't have been as big a deal.
Wait, so you mean to tell me that an outage that lasted 1/52 of the year, resulted in a minimal loss? 😆
Worst case scenario, they lost 1/52 of their online revenues. Media downloading is really low this time of year so they aren't going to even scratch the 1/52 number.
