[citation][nom]bluekoala[/nom]I don't know what's so hard to understand about:Sony f***ed with the internet and then the internet f***ked with it. This basically ruins PSN's credibility. Most people have credit card insurance anyway.The victims are not the customers nearly as much as Sony itself. I don't know why anonymous or any other would be to blame for this when Sony was clearly playing with the laws of nature.If anything, we need much more of this crap to happen to have corps handle themselves appropriately because the governments are too corrupt to regulate them and protect consumer interests. PSN is down. For the best interest of America. Deal with it, play PC games.[/citation]
Ok, but Sony's EULA clearly states not to modify the system software or hardware (aside from the swappable HDD). Whether people like it or not, consoles aren't meant to be customizable like PC's. That's what makes them consoles; the fact that everything is the same to ensure security, compatibility, and to simply make sure everyone is on the same page.
Sony even tried to open things up further with the Other OS feature, but realized the inevitable problems that would cause. Ironic how they tried to make their system as secure as possible and it ended up getting blown wide open anyways. But to imply that it was basically their fault is ignoring the fact that it would've never happened if people were able to just respect their boundaries. The same goes for pretty much anything in life.
