They banned people's gamertags from xbl. And then they locked them out of their hard drives when they were caught pirating.

Banning a PSN ID is kind of useless and a hard drive is easy enough to replace on the PS3...


Wrong.  Banned people gamertags still allow them to play offline on their harddrive.

 

Even though Sony did a bad job against hacker,  they still doing something instead of Microsoft letting it loose.

 

Marvel vs Capcom 3 didn't come out yet, and GUESS what ( 360 have it 1 week ahead).  Million of copy had pirated already, and what can Microsoft do about it? Nothing.

They ban them from Xbox Live... and if you are caught pirating they block you from your hard drive(Haven't heard of them doing this since MW2 came out but whatever).

So what exactly is your point?

Honestly, I think the main reason is that MS simply wants the revenue, if people pirate and MS piss them off Live then they still get HDD's Gold Memberships, MS Points. They are doing the best they can from a bad situation. Sony wont win in what they are doing, that is pretty much fact. 

Ms has simply realised that they can make money from it.

You are wrong here. If you are banned for piracy, your console cannot go to Live. But your GT is OK, if you use different machine, you can use same GT as normal. HDD is not blocked, you just cannot transfer GT and saves to another console. In 8955, banned consoles cannot use "install" function, but apart of this, HDD was normal. So you must play from disc in that time. But in 9199 (spring update), install function was back even for banned consoles.



Nobody noticed that the source doesnt look reliable at all? They dont even state how they had access to this information. It doesnt make sense anyway, not only it is wrong to do this, but Sony have nothing to gain from this information. Most people watching or commenting on the video will probably not hack their PS3, hence a lost of time for Sony to collect their infos.



The day someone is going in jail for watching videos on the internet is the day humanity has gone nuts.
