Who the hell cares? It was Sony's own damn fault for screwing up so monumentally that it could have been confused for intentional.



So any company without a perfect security system has only itself to blame. Thieves robbing your house couldn't be blamed for doing it because you didn't happen to live in an unpenetrable fortress.

If you got robbed because you left the front door key under the mat then your insurance company probably won't pay out because they'd consider your lax security to be the cause for your own misfortune. I.E. you didn't take reasonable steps protect yourself from harm. Sony is the one people should blame for the negative effects from the PS3 getting hacked. Hackers will always be hackers, robbers will always exist, but people are still at least required to take reasonable steps to keep themselves away from harm.


So the last console to be hacked left it well open and easy to rob and it's Sony's fault not the hackers??? interesting point of view.

This is awful, I share games all the time.

The new 360 hasn't been hacked yet ;)



Sig thanks to Saber! :D 

Well if this does wind up being true, I don't see myself buying a PS3 anymore :|, just my opinion but I like to have the option to sell games on or lend them to friends. So if you are purchasing a copy of the game from someone, and it happens to have all 5 uses used up on it, the game now becomes a useless lump of a disk? By the way what about the older games that have been released before, Uncharted 2, KZ2 etc..



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

i like it just for the lols of pissing off people. well done.

but but but... I'm not defending piracy. Thankfully Sony fans are so concerned about piracy that if Sony raped their moms and said it was to prevent piracy then I'm sure most of them wouldn't mind... Which is sad really, since PS3 used to be somewhat of a good console. 2 revisions and 2 moves against piracy later and it's basically an entirely new console.

So true, it's both fascinating and a bit sad at the same time.

It's all about protecting one's own investment. Your defamatory comments are not needed.

Older games will be unaffected. And its a rumour, besides, you still have 5 uses this way, and you can just use a common PSN between your friends and activate the game on that. The power of the freeeeeeedom.

I am sure you will be able to play this game on any PSN account as long as you have the common account on your PS3. People use this method to play PSN games for cheaper and downloading DLCs for cheaper by dividing the costs.

That's exploiting a loophole, which is just as bad as piracy :)

Yes, I invested in a PS3. One that could use Linux, play used games, boot stuff from USbs. Now it can't do that stuff. Well, mine can...
