yeah, this was a helpful user who provided Sony the information.

I mean, come the fuck on Sony. You make it incredibly hard to defend you.

What happened to that update where passwords could only be set from the console? Did I imagine all that?

Problem is that it's for the original PS3 that your account was created on, but not everyone has their first system. Malfunction, buy and sell, crazy kids, etc. That's what the online option was for.

All those people that had the original 60GB systems where the thermal paste wore out and sent it off to Sony only to have them send back a different system... I just feel sorry for them... they're the core that stuck with Sony even with the 599 dollar price tag, despite the slow trickle of games for a while, and now after not having PSN for nearly a month they might have serious issues changing passwords and accessing PSN again?  Really feel sorry for those guys -_-

This doesn't bother me, I mean I changed my pass the moment PSN went back up, but for those who have yet to get back on it could be a problem, I guess the best solution is for those who have yet to sign in need to, those that don't own their original system anymore might need to hold tight till Sony finds a decent solution.
