I strongly recommend reading Sony's official FAQ about this: http://us.playstation.com/support/an....htm?a_id=2356

Sony is seriously fucked. This pretty much means they will lose the next gen battle of consoles.

IMO, 360/Microsoft won it a long time ago, and will when the next one, mainly due to XBL...

Cut-Copy-Paste, no it's still down and will stay down till they rebuild it from the "ground up" which I'm guessing (maybe?) could take months??

After decades abusing their clients, Sony had it coming.
I can't feel pity for them.

In what way did Sony abuse their clients?

For me the biggest abuse was when they disabled ability to install Linux on PS3. It was probably only feature (Beside free PSN) dat made me buy PS3 over xbox

I can understand the disappointment about disabling linux installs but I'm not sure if thats abuse. Weren't they also pirating music and selling it without the authors permission on greatest hits cd's? The real abuse is making me sit through the annoying drm on blurays. I don't know why I even buy them.

I'm concerned about my credit card information being stolen so I'm not exactly cheering these guys on even though sony needed to be put in check. Sony seems to know what they are doing security wise. Look at how long it took the ps3 to be hacked in the first place. So if hackers can bring down psn your information is safe with no one on the net. What I would find amusing is if hackers would mess with the trophy whores ... at least temporarily.

Disabling third party controllers via update and selling their own at horrendous prices. Mandatory updates. No repair even of minor hardware faults. Sueing everyone who wasn't on the tree at 3o clock mainly because Sony messed up themselves.

I hope every company relearns from this simple economic rules which most of the majors seem to have forgotten: You don't win against your customers - you don't even compete against them but with them, you don't own your customers, abuse a temporary monopoly and most of them will remember.

I have been wondering if Anon have something to do with this. When they were targeting Sony's websites, Sony was bragging that it was mainly a nuisance more than anything else. Anon said they weren't going to attack the PSN but who can say that some of them aren't doing it covertly so as to not throw attention at themselves and direct the customers anger at Sony.

This. I believed Sony was taking a more user-friendly stance than M$. I even chose the PS3 knowing that I could download games. For me, their change on this issue (something I payed additional for), makes me hate them as a company. They deserve whatever shit floats their way.

Say what? You can download full games on XBOX (even slim and XBL even semi new ones like Fallout New Vegas, etc.) and if we are talking pirate shit, you can do that with the Phat and 9504 SLIM drives which takes a matter of seconds to flash and with PS3, your stuck now not be able to play 3.60 games, well rumor has it that 3.60 is cracked and on the way, but who knows....

I purchased my PS3 over 2 years ago, when it was possible to install linux- for an additional cost. The 360 had been cracked open wider than a $20 whore, but I felt the user-friendly option of installing "other OS's", and using my machine for additional, non-gaming related tasks was worth paying extra for.

In short, Sony cannot be trusted. They are anything but user-friendly, and have stolen functionality from me- a paying, non-hacking customer.

FUCK Sony. They won't get another $.01 from me, and I will take every opportunity to spread the word about their slimy tactics on forums, and IRL. IMO, they need to be taught a HUGE lesson regarding abuse of customer rights. Burn, bitchez, burn...:angry:
