Forums - Sony - Why PSN hack was the best thing to ever happen to us and Sony.

I have always checked my bank statements online, at least 2-3 times a day. It drives my lady nuts when I ask her things like : "What did you spend $25 bucks on today?". 

Other than that I am glad I got this free month. I needed to transfer copy protected saves from my 60GB to my new 160GB. I already started playing games so I didn't want to do a system transfer. I had to buy Plus anyways, but I am too cheap to drop the $18 to pay for a 3 month trial. I keep stalling.

Plus I get to keep the Killzone 3 DLC. I wanted that too, but was too cheap to buy it either.

 

I saved $23 bucks.

Andddddddddddddd

it made me go out and buy and play

mafia Directors cut (good game but no where near as good as the first)

Darksiders (so much win! I have no idea why I hadn't played this one already, such a good game)

and I'm gonna get kz3 DLC (which I was gonna buy anyways) for free now..sweet

 

pfft, free stuff? That is all small fry compared to the long lasting effects it will have that I mentioned in the OP.


agreed and also the bowing helped us understand that the sony execs might have the best hair in the industry.


Also the bowing helped us understand that westerners don't have a clue about japanese customs; that the bowing was nothing special and completely expected.


I also think it's done to promote a alliance with a hair product company to be revealed at E3!!!!!1111

Could this mean the long waited for remake of (and I doubt anyone will get this reference) Kabuki: QF?!



Ahhh seems like the citizens of the world loves free stuff that why Sony offer free stuff. Captain Obvious 101

Btw does anyone know who this hacker is? Give me a name,address or DNA sample and i'll bring this evildoer down with my fist of JUSTICE!!!!!



Anyone who's breaking the law is obvious a criminal.

@baggle

... wow... how many times are you going to talk about the bowing? this is at least the 5th post i've seen you make about it



Too subtle.

I lol´d.



pwin´ every other villain since 1994

I personally think that this whole fiasco will result in Sony and its  user-base to develope a stronger relationship. I think Sony had a major eye opener in all of this and in the end will result in them being a better company. They've learned from everything that has happened (hopefully) and in the end, I think will help change how the PSN operates from here on out.

I stuck through everything and never even considered being one of those babies talking about how he wants to switch consoles simply due to the competition having their network be operational during all of this. I have a preferred console for various reasons and don't plan to change that because of cyber terrorists.

Sony is truly lucky to have such loyal followers. wow! really. Hopefully we will be getting some good updates and some free stuff so I will forgive sony for that.

With the exception of psn downtime, I think it's the "loyal" but "diligent" customers who will end up benefiting the most.


Which is exactly the way it should be. We were affected, not the potential buyers.

I'm glad this is ending well. I was worried about Sony's image in general, but damn, that bowing at the conference......didn't think such a simple way of apologizing would have such a positive effect on people.

I hope they hope they really make it obvious to everyone that they're getting a free 30 days of psn , since not everyone reads forums/etc. I'm sure people will enjoy it.
