lol so apparently psn users were "selfish" for wanting to use services they are entitled to from owning a ps3 but anon wasn't selfish for attacking the service for their own benefit

LOL

Does it count, if you always play offline in the recent days? Does that make me selfless?

Well to be fair, PSN is on in the background....so I am no saint. 

Not responding to the actual point of this thread until this line is deleted. That you think this was done for personal gain just shows that you need to do more reading about the topic.

If you're actually interested in learning. This was done so that next time Sony are considering things like suing geohotz, they will decide against it. it is the opinion of the hackers behind it that geohotz was doing nothing wrong, that he was helping people re enable features that Sony had promised them and that consumers as a whole will be better off because of this. You can argue that the cost outweighs the benefit, and I shall not disagree with you. but to argue that it was done for selfish reasons is quite simply incorrect.

now that is a position i could get behind

I just love how Lulsec thinks they're looking out for the good of the consumer by doing this shit. What they don't realize is that like 10 or 15 people in total care about what they're doing, and the other 50 million just want PSN to work.

Why do these hacking cults keep using the word "butthurt" for gamers. I was pretty happy to receive 6 free games and to finally beat FFXIII.

Worked out fine for me. I think it's just childish that these hacking cults need to pass judgement on everyone else.

actually i know this issue fairly well i know all of the reasons that they try to use to justify their actions

"it is the opinion of the hackers behind it that geohotz was doing nothing wrong" agreed and as a result they attacked the network and by extension the innocent customers who used it to get even with sony and also to raise awareness of their cause ( benefit )

"he was helping people re enable features" lol like linux? do you know why linux was even removed in the first place? because geohot tried to undermine the security of the console through linux which of course sony didn't want to allow and as a result it was removed... he was then sued when he posted keys online that could be used to unlock the console for piracy and cheating online

geohot has been nothing but a bane to the ps3 community as a whole and thats my opinion

edit : btw you seem to be implying that apart from benefit for themselves that anon also wanted benefit for consumers... if thats the case please explain how taking down psn and other free services provided to consumers can be beneficial for them

*facepalm*
