So PS Store isnt going to be back come tuesday.

If he asked me to pull down my pants and do the macarena, you better believe I'd be dancing within the second.

I honestly don't understand what more some of you want from Sony. Yeah, they made a mistake. They have been getting called out for it for almost 10 days now. Now stop and give them some fucking credit for a minute. They have rebuilt the entire system within 2ish weeks and are offering incentives due to your lost ability to play on a FREE service that THEY offer and YOU don't pay for (excluding PSN Plus members of course). This is a horrible situation and Sony should take some of the responsibility, which they have, but many of your are putting a 100% full force blame on Sony disregarding that the actual criminal here is the HACKER or (S).

Now there has been no proof that anyone identity (which I can get out of the phone book by the way with the information that was stolen) or your CC numbers have been taken. Until that time if it ever comes, pipe down a little.

I for one am happy that Kaz took on the media here and actually bowed at them (that's a lot of humility coming from a Japanese person). I respect that they're working hard. Also they are willing to cover credit card changes.

This really shows their commitment to make ammends on not having sufficient security beforehand.

While it doesn't excuse them in any way for their mistake, it is a very commendable attitude. Well done.

WOW! Thanks, it works!

damn though full PSN would be back sooner

suprised that there doing a welcome back program

wonder what the free downloads will be and the free 30 days of plus is a plus for those like myslef that never have had it that be good enough to get some saves backed up to cloud 

Yes but PSN includes PSP users. That's why it's odd that it's so low with Monster Hunter and stuff.

Apologies accepted Sony.

Then that was that bank's fault if that ever even happened.  And there are certain circumstances where the bank is required to obtain your SSN.  http://cpsr.org/issues/privacy/ssn-private/

Under Banks: "Banks and various others are required by the IRS to report the SSNs of account holders to whom they pay interest. If you don't tell them your number you will probably either be refused an account or be charged a penalty such as withholding of taxes on your interest."

Also, I find it funny how on that "expert's" website, there is a disclaimer that reads "Disclaimer: I am not an attorney or a professional financial advisor. Information you obtain from this website should not be considered as legal or financial planning advice. You should consult with a consumer attorney for legal advice and an accountant for individualized financial planning."  And nowhere on her site does it say that she went to business or law school to become this "expert", it is all only from personal experience.

Finally, if what you suggest is even true, getting a credit card with only your name and address, than I got some work to do cause I'm going to go in the phone book and start up hundreds of thousands of accounts.

yes some people are complaining that they are doing free trial to psn plus. saying its silly

also complaining about them saying "it wont happen again"

what do you expect them to do.

they rebuilt their network,  made it more secure, giving away free stuff, offering to pay for CC replacement, and help to prevent ID theft.

on top of that any of the information that was actually stolen, can be easily found on facebook ir the phone book. and people are saying they would have preferred that their CC# or SS# were stolen over the info that was.

i dont get some people, some people just bitch to bitch.

what would they have wanted sony to do.
