and also LOL at those articles in which 'analysts' claimed PSN issue will cost sony Billions (2Bn iirc)

It's way too early to LOL about that. This is just Sony's estimate of the cost, I'm pretty sure they aren't predicting to lose any big lawsuits in that estimate...

sony stated that they foresee 'incremental' costs with restructuring its securities.

i don't think anything as steep as $2bn is realistic. there seems to be no misuse of credit cards and the vast majority of the information released wasn't truely confidential to be honest. also, their security measures were better than we initially thought - there was encryption etc.
