Look, if you people want to go to Xbox, because you can't play online, be my guest. But I'm sticking with sony here. I got my ps3 in mid 2009, and have been a PSN member sense about 3 days after I got it. The only problem that ever occured was when my first account was stolen. It was because I was gamesharing, so it's my fault. Not Sony's. And for the most part, this whole thing isn't Sony's fault either. Now granted, they didn't have a firewall up for PSN, but it was a very well designed network, so they got a little cocky. They didn't expect this to happen, and when it did, they just weren't ready. And one more thing, "Anonymous" is planning on hacking all the major government websites, and all the gaming networks. (So XBL and Steam are also in danger.) They've already hacked Visa, Pay Pal and several other corporations like that. Guys, this is more serious than we thought it was. The're actually in the middle east right now, fighting along side the US, the French and the UK. Believe it or not, they're the good guys. This is bigger than just PSN. These guys have some serious power. They're growing in number daily, and have the potential to be saviors, or destoyers. When they said "We are legion, expect us." I immediately dismissed it as bullshit, but this is serious. Just be ready for them. There's no telling what they plan to do.
