I'm pretty sure the majority of PS3 owners weren't online all at the same time to notice it. Once again, no facts, no persuasion.

They HAVE reacted. These are the consumers you are telling to quote "piss off".

Yeah, Sony are the big, innocent corporation here crying out buttrape. How about this? Instead of banning homebrew PS3s from PSN with extreme predjudice, why not enforce regulation of those consoles who DO cause damage to others? Why not? Because Sony do not wish to spend the money on doing procedures the right way, and are sending their brainwashed followers in to do their lobbying.

There is more than one way around this. Sony chose the 'cheaper, but hurt more of their base' path. And you're complaining when those consumers make a stand against this? That is pathetic.

It doesn't matter if they were all online at once, if the problems persist and continoue to go on, then the consumers will be pissed. 

No, a few people have reacted, hell, most of the people arguing for Anon in this thread don't even have a PS3. Everyone else has shown they don't care by showing their lack of reaction.

Sony don't have to do anything, it's their service, they own it and you have to agree to their terms to use it. Why should they take the time and effort into creating even more circles around hackers on their service, when they could use just stop everyone all together. They have the right to protect their interests, my interest as a normal consumer and the interest of the millions who have agreed to their terms and conditions. You have the right to ignore their service and just mod your PS3, they aren't after you for putting homebrew on your console, they just don't want you using their services if you do, because you might be a potential threat. They let Other OS slide for a while and then Geohotz came along, claimed he cracked it, bragged about it and Sony have decided that they'd rather be on the defensive instead of allowing any similar hacks to happen in the future.

I'm complaining because when the group that screams for 'consumer rights' attacks the very consumers they're apparently protecting, then they can piss off. Anon and their followers are hypocrits who just want what they want and damn the consequences that could harm anyone else.


It does matter, since those who never experience the problems would never be affected. And how do you know that the majority aren't willing to allow a little interruption for their rights to modify their console and stil use the online service?

There may be some here arguing for Anon wh don't have a PS3 but keep in mind that this court ruling against GeoHot will affect all similar electronics devices. i could also state that I've been to several other sites covering this news, with little to no support for Sony at all. The only two places I've seen with major fanboy butthurt is here and Sony's forums.

So yeah, Sony should be mmune from consumer backlash? They shouldnt have to waste the money on proper security for their online service, even though their competitors already have, and shown that it works? Should Sony be allowed to waste taxpayer's money using the courts as their lapdogs to enforce security on their system that they were too lazy to do the proper way? That IS pathetic, and you know it!
