Ps3 suks

[Craneses]

So apparently this was the message anonymous sent to sony the day before the attack

Anonymous' letter: http://vghq.net/wp-content/uploads/2...ymous-Sony.png

That was a different attack, about one or two weeks ago, they did get some sites down. But this is what they posted today.

this is a black eye to sony, too bad the attack hurts the user the most.

how about that revolution knows as the Playstation Network ? nice outage - junk

Please don't turn this into a fanboy post. PS3 doesn't suck, and neither does the Xbox. Apparently you haven't heard of the many times Xbox live gets hacked/outages. It isn't even in the news as much anymore because it happens so often.

I could actually point to a story on Joystiq about 2 weeks ago (but I'm lazy) about one of the top Xbox Live managers having his live account hacked. The Infamous Major Nelson has had his Live account hacked as well.

What you should be doing, Cycogod is railing against these hackers. We're all gamers and we should be united. I don't have a 360 simply because Time does not permit it and money does not permit it. But if I could have one, you're damn right I'd buy one. If you got a PS3 for free with its best games on the system, you'd enjoy it. Just be honest with yourself about that.

this isnt a troll thread about the ps3 sucking, it's about the hack on psn

I gotcha, but the opening words are "Ps3 suks". Sorry, I just had to point out that the hacking on PSN isn't because the PSN is inherently insecure. It's hackers abilities to do what they want to do. Everyone gets attacked by hackers. Heck, the US Depertment of defense gets hacked. And Xbox Live is hacked on a daily basis, I assure you.

Just for reference, Sony released what was causing this. Basically, with one of the mods someone made for the rooted consoles allowed some modded units to log into the developer's version of the PSN store and purchase things without credit card validation. (EG: get anything from the store for free.)

i think it can be solved. sony should just buy everyone with a PS3 a really good gaming laptop or an xbox 360 lol. no but really i think this shows how ill prepared sony is for being a gaming industry.

I wouldn't say they were ill prepared for hacking. They were actually the last pillar to fall, but they didn't ever expect their pillar to fall, and thus were hit hard when it did.
