This could've happened with anyone including Microsoft or Nintendo, but it didn't. SImple as that. Shit happens and I am in the same position that you are. What keeps Sony ahead of the pack is its games, not exactly its online. It's online is getting really high up there though. Simply put, there still is no reason to go crazy. They told everyone to get a free credit check to seee if their accounts had been breached. I don't know if you got the email or not. Anyway, mine wasn't messed with so I suggest you do the same, change your password and move on.

The thing is, it DIDN'T happen to Microsoft or Nintendo (and I really doubt it would happen to Microsoft, ever). It happened to Sony. I don't give a shit what games they make for the system, that's irrevelant, as is the quality of their online service for playing games.

I don't look at a company and say "well, I LIKE this company so they get a pass for fucking me over". I call out companies who screw up because I have no brand loyalty to any company. I buy products, not logos.

It's been three weeks. There is still plenty of time for the hackers to sell off that information to identity theives. Don't get too excited just yet.

Please...the 360 could've been cracked and raped beyond reason. It was hacked a long time ago and if Microsoft would've actually had a linux capable system (and taken away those rights for those who care) they would've probably been in the same position and worse. Also, Microsoft definitely wouldn't have given you as much. Identity theft is a serious issue, but investigations are still in the works. Keep posted on those things instead of scaring yourself into oblivion. Have you done a credit check?
