What amazes me most about all this is how many are already acting like their info as stolen and I bet their facebook pages already has all said info as wel and chances are they also have lots of people as "friends" that they dont realy know. Drama queens...

The difference is that in Facebook you Choose who has access to your data. In Spain we have proverb which says something as "It's my cat and I fuck it whenever I want", meaning here that you can sell your data if you want, but another company should keep your data safe. As it seems, Sony failed to keep the data in a secure way.

I wont be so sure about that. Do you know facebook's employees? Pretty sure they also have access to your info. Facebook probably also sells your info to advertisers as well. How else can the coordinate who sees what adverts? If you really think any info you put on/through the internet anywhere is "secure" you're living in an illusion.

I remember a  few years ago, photobucket got hacked and people were freaking out because they put some "sensitive" pictures on their accounts. Didn't they know that Photobucket employees could see them? How else would photobucket have been able to tell people what was appropriate or not?

2 wrongs does not make it right.

I'm not sure how that applies to my statement...My point is that people are overreacting. In my experience, CC companies refund you when your card is used fradulently. As for the ID theft thing, I don't remember Sony asking for SSNs. Pretty sure all the other info they requested is freely available online. Google your own name/home phone #, you may be surprised what shows up.
