What are you talking about? They are offering free game in conjunction with the PSN Plus, ones that you will keep. Now, if you get something free through PSN Plus, yes, it will have to stay a member of PSN Plus to play it. However, if you buy anything at a discount through PSN Plus, you will keep that, as well. |
Erm not too keen on the buying bit atm. Hope you understand why.
€20 of credit would be cool. Would go for Mass Effect there.
Holy shit it was college fest today and I'm inebreated. Somebody give me an update.
Time for hype

Well, if you're talking about the CC info, there's always pre-paid PSN cards. 
But yea, credit would be cool. We'll have to see if Sony announces anymore.

Do I need to give you my SSN and CCN? 
Seriously though, it shows you are on my friends list now. VGC must be messing up on your end. How long has that been going on?

And most of this stuff has been overblown to get hits to websites. And since when can you go into a bank and say, "Hey, I'm John Doe and I don't have any proof of identity, but I have a name and address" and they actually open the account for you, plus give you a debit card? When I started an account, I needed my SSN and Driver's License Number (both of which are never asked of you from PSN). And to even get a Driver's License I had to have my SS card, my birth certificate, and 2 pieces of mail to prove where I lived. Again, I have no idea where you're getting that info and copies of those records from hacking the PSN. The fact is, companies freely trade your info with each other all the time. That's why you get spam emails and junk mail addressed to you personally. And really, anyone could look up your name in the phone book to get your number and address. The worst thing that MAY have happened is the access to your CC number. Again, that was encrypted and Sony isn't 100% that it occurred, but are taking the neccessary steps just in case. Another possible bad thing is that someone may have been able to see our PSN password, which means you should change any paswwords that are similar. And Sony is already going to force everyone to change their passwords once PSN is up and running. |
people have been praying for the worst for personal hate, let them wallow in it. it's all they have

I got that from... security experts in the field. Also from people I know who in fact have gotten credit in other peoples name.
So... direct expierence and expert testimony.
Banks actually aren't required to get your SS# for example.

There is plenty you can pull. Heck my friend didn't need anything but a Name and an adress to get a credit card in his dad's name.

The 77 million is the figure for the number of accounts that were compromised, not the number of accounts with credit cards. There is a big difference there.

Almost! Not quite though.
Seriously though... "Free stuff coming, don't know what yet."
And just a bunch of "we promise it won't happen again stuff.
