Is PSN under attack? - PSN now back up 15/05

I'd look at it :

PS3 was launched in the UK in 2007 so...

4 x £32 (Going rate) = £128

just over 8p a day or Free with unsecure, inferior service ?

I'm sure I used PSN with my PS2, when the original Xbox charged a premium.

im really scared about having my details stolen, details which most people actually advertise on their facebook for free. as for credit card details, its insured, i hope they do use them as i hate credit card companies and i know i will get refunded.

Gotta love fanboy math.
Looks like MS recovered from shipping original 360 consoles that broke so I'm sure Sony will recover from being hacked. Hacked being the lesser of evils compared to hardware that breaks. (IMO)
I like both consoles, I don't like fanboys throwing their choice down peoples throats.
Who knows? Maybe MS will be next, just because they charge a premium and haven't been hacked doesn't necessarily mean that they can't be.

No fanboy maths at all, to compare a PSN for "10" years is fan boy maths. Sony released the network adaptor for the PS2 in 2002 to compete with Xbox (yeah you had to pay for the adaptor). It was an after thought and relied on 3rd party servers/publishers not a dedicated network.

and FYG I have both the PS3 and Xbox and have roughly 50/50 split in games for both platforms, I subscribe to Xbox Live and Playstation Plus. I do however honestly believe that you get what you pay for.

1 phone call, and sign a piece of paper and fax it back to them, all of 5 mins of grief to know your finances are secure. it hasnt happened to anyone yet, so theres no grief to go through anyway. and i doubt it ever will. credit card fraud is getting extremely hard to do nowadays, theres more security in that field than there is in iraq.

correct me if im wrong, did i not need to pay for my wireless adapter on 360 at launch? what difference does that make? none

regardless it was a 1 off fee of £20-£30, not a recurring £30 charge year on year.

you cant compare the two

psn has been free for 9 years (sorry i was 1 year out, i couldnt be ***** googling, seems like someone else wasn't) 9 x £32 = about £300, hell i could have bought another 2 ps3's for that

So you say there is 5min grief then say there isnt any...and you doubt it will happen? Isnt that the same as this issue happening with psn atm

i said a potential of 5 min of grief, and nobody has needed to suffer it, if you get grieved by a 5 min phone call and signing a piece of paper, i would like to see you buying a car / house

which would both be useless online in PSN's current state ;)

No fanboyism here, got both consoles and use and enjoy them both the same ammount.

Just ... well just saying :p
 
This all proves one thing, PC is the ultimate gaming platform, cheaper games and free online gaming on a network that's alway on!

Am I the only one who finds it odd that Sony are taking all the blame? No-one seems to be directing their frustration at the hackers.

Errrmmm YES!

You do realize that the vulnerability that the hackers exploited was known to Sony for a significant amount of time yet their arrogance and cockiness meant they didn't bother to fix/patch it!!

And btw, only mugs pay more than £23 for 12months of Gold access!

Doesn't matter what platform it is, there isn't some weird black magic at play where you turn into more or less of a douche depending on what system you play on.

Just spend one hour on WoW or MW2 PC, you will find nothing but the most insufferable people. Idiots will be idiots no matter what.

Hell you can even just take a browse on the PC game section of this forum and you'll find nothing but a bunch of equally whiny and oversensitive group of players.

Jesus youve got a chip on your shoulder - its obvious they would have done a risk assessment of their network and decided that the chance of the exploit compromising their whole network was low enough not to cost against.

Whoever made that decision, in hindsight, wasnt right - but that doesnt make the whole corporation arrogant.

Lay off the hemp underwear - seems to irritate :p

ps3ud0 :cool:
