I don't know why they fined Sony for this, they couldn't help the situation. But either way, that fine is a penny to what Sony makes loses

Fixed that for you.

I don't get it.

Sony will appeal. I doubt they will end up paying that much.

First Apple, then Nintendo and now Sony. They seem to have fun over there :D


Don't forget Microsoft!  They are facing some big fines for having IE the only internet browser on some computers.  Soon there will be a saying, "You haven't made it, until the EU fines you!"



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

The fines probably go towards further prosecutions against corporations who are reckless with consumer data.  I'd rather that occur than the British tax payer funding these cases completely.

So they pursue these cases to collect money to pursue these cases?

Bullshit, sure Sony was a damn fool with security, but unless the 250K goes to those who had their info leaked, well... just money grabbing by another body.
