Sounds good. Hope you PS+ peeps get something nice for the loss of your paid subscription.

I submitted an e-mail to Sony regarding both Playstation Plus and MLB....will see if they respond. They are usually good to respond, and currently they say the turnaround time is 11-23 hours.
Yeah they almost "have" to do something for EVERYONE. IMHO (no PR background but just using some common sense) they should: (1) Give all + Subscribers an additional month on their PS+ accounts; (2) Reimburse/credit the accounts of a month's worth of the cost for any members who paid for other subscriptions: (a) Netflix; (b) MLB.tv; etc... (3) Give us regular PSN members a free one month trial of PS+.
I think that would subdue most of the "logical anger" people have. Some people will try to abuse it and look for $100,000,000,000 in damages. Those customers can simply not be pleased and are just always looking for a way to angle for some $. What I am asking for sure isn't cheap but it would restore some "Good Will" that was lost b/c of this.
Yeah that's right....I have Netflix too, but can go to my 360 so that is why I didn't think of putting it in my e-mail.
I was nice in the e-mail so I am sure I will get some generic response.
Give me cross game party chat and auto-synchronizing trophies and I'll forget this ever happened.
I just want party chat because the mics for Tiger have been f'd up for years.
This hacking can fall under cyberterrorism for a number of reasons, and also if these rumors are true of hackers attempting to sell back the credit card information to Sony, cyberextortion, which falls under cyberterrorism. There's federal sentencing guidelines, ~10 years. The biggest issue becomes how much monetary damage are they causing Sony (there's no doubt it breaks the threshold) to fall under the USA PATRIOT Act.
Will it ever be pursued that far, who knows, but there's no doubt Sony will go do their best to trace it down and use the FBI or equivalent law enforcement in that nation to go after the persons to the fullest extent of the law (which in the case of Pakistan is the death penalty).
I also find it hard to believe we've not seen or heard of any reports of anyone's CC information being used, other than a forum. They stole data to 70 million accounts... what are the odds yours is the one they use, and it just so happens to come out on a forum first? If these are supposedly encrypted the way Sony says they are, I'm not at all sure they would already be able to decrypt them. I've yet to cancel my debit card and I'd rather not have to do it, I will be moving a large sum of my money to my credit union, however.
send all of us headsets or blue-tooths
NYT is reporting hackers want $100K for all of our CC/Debit Card data

I hope Sony has hired some mercenaries to take these fuckers out and gut them in front of their wives/husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends/parents.
for US Laws to be applied the country would have to agree to extradite them.
Also, in regards to the extortion, which can cause this to be classified as cyberterrorism, what I heard was 2 million European credit cards.. but this was all denied by Sony and outside of musings on forums really hasn't gained any real proof or traction.
Ummmm .... All they want is 100k? Who is the hacker Dr. Evil?
"Yeah but the Chinese won't extradite one of their own" but Batman doesn't have a jurisdiction
Batman always gets the criminal. No matter what.

sorry, cant help it : )
I think they need to catch before worrying about who gets to put them on trial. ;)
Yeah I got the typical generic response from Sony. Copied and pasted from the last message they sent out.
Superman has also renounced his U.S. citizenship so if he were to use some enhanced interrogation techniques our Government couldn't get in trouble.

got a psn add email this morning
Actually I had the right one in there ":", "D". When I went to post it the board changed it to that. Then when I went to edit the post to change it back the "save" button in the edited post with the status symbol just kept rotating and rotating but never edited my post. After several minutes of waiting I just said F' it.
I've been getting that alot lately where when I edit a post it will just sit there and do that
nvm
Read through the forum feedback just now and used your way of editing it
Service will be restored this week. All members get one month of Playstation Plus, one free undetermined download, one month of Qriocity, and more to be announced later.
They seriously, seriously better do something regarding identity protection or they're going to take a massive hit on the PR front.
This just gets worse and worse for Sony (from a PR standpoint).

Sony has revealed that 10 million credit card accounts may have been exposed two weeks ago when a hacker broke into the company's computers in San Diego and stole data from 77 million PlayStation Network accounts.
During a news conference in Tokyo on Saturday, Kaz Hirai, Sony's executive deputy president, offered the company's first public apology by an executive and promised to compensate customers.
"We offer our sincerest apologies," Hirai said, then bowed deeply in a Japanese custom showing regret, at the news conference, a recording of which can be viewed here.
Hirai said Sony would give affected customers 30 days of free access to its Qriocity music-streaming service as well as 30 days of access to its PlayStation Plus online game service. In addition, Sony said it will provide credit card protection services for the 10 million customers whose data were compromised.
Turned on my PS3 for the first time in a while. Got some rounds of Tiger in.
I've been playing mine a lot. This downtime has given me motivation to play through the 50+ PSN and retail games that I haven't even touched yet. I've gotten through 3 of them. Go me. :D
I've spent my time with MLB The Show and Tiger but mostly The Show. Also got some NCAA 11 trophies except the Perfect From The Start for the Platinum. That trophy is going to be the end of me :smh:
are you saying psn is back up ?
No, it wont be back up until Monday or Tuesday more than likely.
