well house isn't best example, cause you would assume they wouldl be on lookout.

but lets take a typical csi tv case.  how often does a murder happen and there HAPPENS to have been some argument between the victom and some guy that results in "i'm going to kill you" statement.  That guy is never guilty.

But if you really do want to kill someone, waht better time than when they get in a huge argument and near blows with someone else.  The blame finger will point to that person very quickly. 

ok, so, a fictional TV show is a better example then my house?

how about you just answer my question: is it really absurd to suspect them? that is all i want to know.

if your brother is killed tomorrow and today he had a huge fight with someone and the typical "i'll kill you" line is thrown in that argument.

what the first thing to pop in your mind tomorrow when you hear of your brother being killed?

that's the same as this id theft will be. if i found out someone stole my identity, the only thing i could think of would be this psn fiascol.  i'm not saying in either case its true, but just making a point.

now then lets examine our idiotic news.  they would LOVE to broadcast and have a story about the thousands of people that had their identity stolen "apparantly" by this psn fiascol. 

i fixed that first sentence to show we actually agree, and i will take that as a answer to my question you appeared to dodge!

i never said you were wrong.  its obvoius people will suspect anon.  i just saying it could have been another hacker taking anon's spotlight to sneakily hack it himself.

everyone right now thinks its anon's work.

if this was half a year ago, everyone would be looking for the random hacker who did this.  right now though since anon wnet into the spotlight they are the prime suspects.

...and that was the only point i was always trying to make.

i never said it HAD to be them.

Still a maybe to me, there's no evidence that any information was even acessed let alone taken and psn is down thats all we really know

of course it was anon -- they are a flock of birds flying in the same direction.  anon made it their mission to terrorize sony, sony has been terrorized.  

... might not be same same physical people as who released the original video but they are flying in the same direction which is how anon has defined themselves therefore it was anon regardless.

Other than Sony confirming that things were indeed stolen, you are correct.

I'll  correct you by simply saying the direction is not similar, only the target is the same. You are basically comparing a group (anon) that did the equivalent of beating up your mail box, (or leaving a flamming bag of crap on your door step), to a group that potentially stole everything from your house, then burnt it down, piled up the ash and shit all over it.

While the target is the same, the method and how severe the damage is entirely different.

You actually bring up an interesting point and I could be wrong for trusting certain sources saying there was a 128 encryption. Because while 128 isn't the best, it is still pretty damn good, so for a group to decrypt that in only a couple of days seems highly unlikely.
[speculation]So assuming there even is an encryption, it means that these guys have had access longer than Sony thought and had be whittling away at the encryption. Or it was a old employee who knew and was involved or leaked the encryption that did this.[/speculation]
- Edit
You are indeed correct, the personal data was not encrypted at all.

Why does personal info matter if its encrypted? You do a basic search on my name and you get my FB account (Which is set to private)Myspace account. My user names for various things. You get my babys registry from babies r us and my girlfriends name. You do a yellow page search and you get my address and phone number.... So why does it matter is personal info is encrypted? You can get more stuff on a basic google search than you can on sonys network.

And sony never admitted in anything being stolen as far as Im aware. All ive read so far is them saying that their network has been breached and that there is a possibility of their customers personal info has been accessed. They say it was malicious. And in their eyes it was a malicious attack... But what was the hacker trying to accomplish? Maybe he was trying to add $10,000 to our psn wallets. Who is to say he breached the network to ssteal our identities.
