Mirson, i think we all appreciate the situation and i read how you will lose a pre-order bonus (or something like that). ..

you personal information like your name and date of birth is public information, so its not illegal to have that information. and in the digital era information is everywhere anyway, eg facebook...

I'm upset on how Sony is handling the problem. They left us in the dark for about a week until they finally told us that our information may have been stolen, and it's a pretty big deal when someone has your name, address, dob, etc. They can do a lot of stuff with that information. As for the facebook, twitter, argument, I highly doubt anyone puts their home address, passwords and personal e-mail address for the public to see.

 

But seriously... yeah, things were handled pretty poorly.  Even if they didn't know any info was compromised, they should of let people know they were hacked.  Hell, I didn't get an email until the 29th.

Don't really care though... i'll just make sure to check my credit a little more carefully. 

Wonder what kind of bone they'll throw at everyone to make them happy.  Hopefully a free DL game or two.

Really, thanks to all the giant news this is making it might lead to much stronger legislation.  It's given the US bill a big push for a start.

 

Saw this on wired earlier.  Maybe it'll cheer you up.

My favorite is number 10.

10. Two free UMD movies, one to apologize for downtime and one to apologize for first UMD movie.
