There is a clear difference between this and what happened to Sony. Anyone thinking of using this as ammunition down the line I suggest you take my advice and not use it. You will only look like a moron for doing so.

XboxLive gets hacked A LOT.

Before I even click the links is this the story about people clicking links in their email and giving their information away?

Because again there is clearly a difference there as well.

Agree with MB1025.. Calling this a hack (when people is "giving" away their information because of email scam) is really making you look like idiots...

One company had credit card and personal information compromised. ANd their online service was down for around a month give or take. Not to mention how poorly it was handled by Sony with the vague information people were getting all while worried about their information.

On the flip side nothing was taken from Microsoft and no ones personal information was compromised. Also Live was effected for a few hours.

 

Yeah I don't see a difference there at all.

We didn't know personal information was stolen for a week. However, we got the threads blowing up about it. Also we dont know if no information was taken. Ms is saying the exact samething Sony said.... yet we got threads immediatly afterward. so yeah... dddddddd damage control

That's because their IS a difference between a event that's happended to several big companies lately which are only disruptive and something that exposes private information, use your well earned common sense, comparing these two occasions (Funny you picked up specifically on this now, yet didn't care when it happended to Apple and co...) is ridiculous.
