PSN down due to hackers

Really sucks. Just when they were getting the upperhand on Microsoft--IMO.

Jesus...

Okay then Sony! Still won't get a 360 just yet.

Peach: I do like to play online whenever I do play video games and I don't really like the thought of paying for it.(That's my dilemma) I honestly didn't know you didn't have to have Live 🙁

Well, to play with other people, then yes, you need a gold subscription. Simply to access XBL, though, you don't.

Jesus, it's like 8 dollars a month for LIVE gold. You spend more then that per month on cheeseburgers.

Really? Still I don't play video games pretty often so that does seem like a lot to me.

Actually is mind blowing how massive a screw up this really is for a company as huge and successful as Sony.

Indeed.

And to think, I was really looking forward to buying a North American model and getting access to the PSONE classics.

I still haven't played online games of Mortal Kombat or Portal 2. I don't imagine I shall for some time.

Sony: Only 900 of our stolen credit cards were active

Yesterday, it was revealed that Sony Online Entertainment got itself hacked for a laugh. The result was the theft of 12,700 credit card numbers. Yet more bad PR and panic circulated the Internet, but there's a bit of "good" news for those potentially affected -- only 900 of these cards were active.

Turns out that the nefarious hackers ransacked an outdated database that went back as far as 2007, so most of the cards were invalid at the time of the breach. Nevertheless, if you've ever signed up for SOE's wares, you might want to check your statements a little more thoroughly.

It's a minor positive in a whirlwind of bad news for Sony. At this rate, things couldn't get worse if Jack Tretton kicked a puppy right on its arsehole. In fact, this might be his only chance to get away with it unnoticed. Do it, Jack!

Talk about reaching for a silver lining... (Sony, not you)

The Canadian dollar is higher-valued than the US dollar.
