Thanks man, I did try this and it doesn't seem to work. I think I'm just going to do the factory restore tonight. It can't hurt.Quote:

Since the PlayStation Network breach in April, which resulted in PSN being taken offline for the better part of a month, many users have been concerned each time the service goes down for maintenance out of fear it has been attacked once again. PSN isn't down today, but if you find yourself locked out of your account, you may be one of the users whose account has been logged into by hackers.
Philip Reitinger, the former DHS official who was hired last month as Sony's Chief Information Security Officer, revealed news on the latest hack attempt in a post on the PlayStation Blog last night.
"We want to let you know that we have detected attempts on Sony Entertainment Network, PlayStation Network and Sony Online Entertainment ('Networks') services to test a massive set of sign-in IDs and passwords against our network database," he wrote. "These attempts appear to include a large amount of data obtained from one or more compromised lists from other companies, sites or other sources."
Because there were so many failed attempts to log in, Sony believes this list of usernames and passwords comes from "another source and not from our Networks." In other words, it doesn't think these logins came from a list obtained when PSN and SOE were attacked in April.
A timeline for when this occurred wasn't outlined. It was a fairly small number of users who were affected in terms of percentages -- less than 0.1 percent -- but that still translates to about 93,000 accounts worldwide. Roughly 60,000 of those belong to PSN and Sony Entertainment Network members, while the other 33,000 are accounted for by SOE users. All of these accounts have been locked and are currently inaccessible while Sony reviews them for "unauthorized access."
Credit cards are not at risk. Anyone who is charged for an unauthorized purchase will be eligible for a refund from Sony.
If you're among the PSN members who have been locked out, look for an email coming from Sony which will instruct you to change your password. SOE members will also receive an email about validating account information and getting the account turned back on.
Reitinger ended the post by encouraging users to be wary of potentially fraudulent activities online and to have a unique password for each website and service you visit.
Wtf hackers give this crap up...why are you so stupid?! Go hack and take down child porn sites and crap like that....do something good! Steal those creeps credit card info, not us innocent gamers!
Just bought a PS3! mainly for a spare Blue Ray and the Sony exclusives.
Had to use Gamestop (shudders) and they screwed me pretty good by forgetting to put a disc in one of the games (3d Dot Game Heros). 50 miles away and they will not mail it to me. Should have known better regarding open new games. Screw it I ordered it from Amazon because I really want this game.
I purchased MLB 2011 used, trading in MLB2K11. Got the combo Uncharted pack (Uncharted 3 just pre-ordered on Amazon), also got Heavy Rain Used and looking forward to it as I played and enjoyed Indigo Prophecy.
PSN is BDSooner72 same as my XBL acct
bdoughty,
welcome to ps3!The dark side of covnsoles ha.Add me too stovy50 I think I may pick up RS3 today I'm bored with my other games.Don't for get to get batman on Tue.Sorry you had bad luck with game stop I usually never do.
Welcome! I'm usually the opposite, I use the 360 for exclusives for the most part, and games that are impossible to get a platinum trophy :DQuote:

I used to be the same way, until I played KZ3 and S4. Those games completely ruined my love for Sony. I can count the number of times I've turned my PS3 on in the past 6 months on one hand. It doesn't help when I do turn it on that I have to look at the dinosaur of a user interface, and then realize that I can't even talk to friends unless I'm playing the same game as them. Ugh. Sony had better have a much bigger emphasis on online interface and features if they want my money for the PS4.Quote:

Only played The Show so far and absolutely love it. I am a High Heat fan and need my zone batting. Also the metered pitching is my favorite.
Is any one playing Resistance 3 ?'
I think Sony is doing just fine for there online stuff IMO.You don't have pay to play online(bonus)Most servers are pretty descent.The things that both you guys like the group chat thing or the install are those really that big of a deal?I could see the group chat thing.Would be nice.The install thing just go and do something else while you it installs don't nit pick at stuff like some do. I'm more of a Sony fan then 360.The games are more graphic wise better on ps3 then xbox IMO.
I install all my games to the HD on my 360, patience is not the issue. It is that you have to download and then install everything. I would have to disagree with you greatly on the graphics end, especially sports games and even more EA Sports games.

Most games are just pretty darn close but in head to Head comparisons LOT and Eurogamer, the winner more often is the 360. Especially when it comes to sports games.
Paying like $3 a month for the features that Live users get is more than worth the value, so it's hardly bogus.Quote:

It makes hopping into a single game so much easier and takes the hassle out of having to organize everything. When I get an achievement, it synchronizes itself immediately. When I get a trophy, I have to wait 20 seconds for the thing to synchronize. Game updates are a real disparity. It's never taken me more than 5 seconds to update a game on 360. It's taken me in excess of an hour before to update a PS3 game on the same internet connection.
Graphics, meh, never did care and never will. If Sony were to ever get an exclusive like Gears of War, I would care. Gears of War and Halo are both examples of world class online shooters, something Sony doesn't have. They were damn close with Resistance: Fall of Man, Killzone 2, and Uncharted 2, but all 3 of those had sequels that went majorly in the wrong direction. I have my eye on Starhawk and Dust 514, but that's about it at this point. KZ3 and S4 left a really sour taste in my mouth.
Thanks you just reminded me of the other thing I hated about the PS3. updates on the 360 are small and fast, while on the PS3 they are much larger and slower.Quote:

Halo a world class shooter, please.More shooters are far are better then Halo.MW series is by far as an example.I would still take the ps3 titles over 360 any day of the week.But I have always been PlayStation guy since the begging.But we all have our own opinions on what system is better. Those pictures are a poorly taken if if you ask me.
:fp: They are captured straight from the system on the highest HD settings for each console with a capture card. Uncompressed .bmp images.Quote:

Maybe there will actually be a reason to go into Home now... maybe.
Yeah. "Maybe". Gimme Trophies and we'll talk :nod:
This is almost what they should have done in the first place with Home.
Still have not touched PS Home, think I am going to keep it that way.
:D I've never even heard of PS HomeQuote:

@Fake_PSN - (Not) PlaystationNet
PSN Downtime Tip: Play through MW1, 2 and 3's campaigns and see if you can find the plot.
I know I hate it when psn goes down gr. wish I had me the MGS HD collection ha. Dam being broke sucks.
Need some help. Anyone use a PS3 controller that is shaped like the 360? I can't stand the PS3 controller and I am trying to find something like the 360 and wireless.
Edit: Nevermind, I checked out some of the controllers and every one I looked at people kept taking about a dead zone. Also the wireless ones required a USB dongle and had limited range.
Which parts of the PS3 controller annoy you, bdoughty? The position of the thumbsticks you can't do much about, but you can get things that will change the shape of the thumbsticks and the triggers ...
Too small for my hands and the thumbstick layout (have always disliked the dualshock). The 360 controller is just perfect for my hands. I have limited use of my right hand and an hour of play will cause it to cramp up severely.
I am just going to try this 3rd party controller and see how it works out. It has sixaxis, rumble, etc. I will just have to live with some of it's flaws.
I did see an adapter that let's you use your 360 controller on the PS3 but you only get rumble and only works with a wired 360 controller.
That controller you linked at least used to be the most popular option. I've never played more than a little bit of Xbox so I can't really compare but when I read up on it before, that was the one everyone seemed to recommend.
Good to hear, I just bought two of them.
It's always interesting to see the different strokes for different folks. One of the reasons I have stuck with Sony is I love their controllers. Microsoft's just feel too big to me. I suppose it is just what you get used to.Quote:

I eventually got the adapter that allows you to play with a wired 360 controller and that's what I use when I play PS3.
On the other hand, I absolutely love the 360 controller. It's a perfect fit for my hands and the placement of the analog sticks is perfect for shooters. I prefer the higher sensitivity the PS3 controller provides in sports games, but that's about it.
Same here. I like the shoulder buttons on the 360, but that's it.Quote:

There are a lot of people out there (critics, particularly) who are crying wolf over the collections and the companies that are making them. Personally, I never played God of War, Ico/Colossus, Sly Cooper or MGS ... so I'm looking forward to having the time to play those collections at some point. I'm also really hoping that they make a Ratchet collection, just to replace all of the copies of it on PS2 that I have and can't play anymore on my Slim.
Well back to the PS3 controller. I would rather have some hand cramps versus what this controller did to me. Serious dead zone issues (tried both controllers) and the sides of the controller feel like you are rubbing your hand against a cheese grater. The size was fine but the analog sticks were much higher than a 360 controller.
Same company that makes the ones I bought. Pretty much the same design. Not a comic book guy so I would probably have to hide the controller when anyone came over. ;)Quote:

However, the classic version of Risk is a lot of fun. If anyone buys it, let me know. I think it'd be a lot of fun online.

Dude I LOVE Risk! I still have the old PS2 game that I pop in from time to time to get my fix in but the CPU AI is just awful it makes NCAA 12's playcalling look brilliant. :smh:Quote:

Is there an old-style Risk game for PS3?
