*Poll* Will you remain a PSN member?

With all these problems and concerns, will you be going back to the psn?

Personally, I believe that I will. Though this breach worries me, i did not have a credit card stored. Even if the info that you had stored in there (name, address, DOB, etc.) was obtained, it is not much different than the info that other millions of people have on display on their social networking sites i.e. facebook. I am looking forward to the exclusives coming out in the near future. Besides, everyone deserves a second chance...no?

I would like to hear some reasoning on the decisions or indecisions, for example:

1.Yes........i had fake info in there anyway, etc.

2.No.........there is no trust, etc.

3.Maybe.........what's going to be done to assure me it will not happen again, etc.

I think this PSN issue is being blown outta proportion in terms of how gamers would react post-network shutdown. You'd think it's WWIII or something...

To be honest i dont see why anyone wouldnt. This could happen anywhere it just happened to happen here and they took care of it knowing it would take an unknown amount of time. They have given out warning to change personal info, pws, etc... And as for the length of time being down its not like they want it any more than you do but they know they dont want to come back up. Anyone who chooses "No" probably wasnt a PSN member to begin with or is just overly paranoid.

No. This is the last straw. Sony didn't give a damn about their customer's security. They could have taken the time to encrypt our personal information. Instead they just sat their and left it open waiting for something like this to happen. It shows how arrogant they are, and the lack of respect they have for their customers. I didn't realise Sony was this arrogant and stupid. Now our personal information is out there floating around who knows where. What's to keep these people from giving that information to the wrong hands. After all they have our addresses too. I understand that this could have happened to anyone. They could have at least taken a few steps to increase security instead of sitting back and doing absolutely nothing. If Sony would have taken the time and effort to increase security before all of this, I would have felt much better in knowing that they tried their best. The sad part about all of this is that Sony hasn't learned a thing from this.

Sometime ago Sony put some sort of spyware on music CD's that left a person's computer vunurable to outside attack.
Here's the link below for anyone interested in reading about it.

They didn't learn their lesson then, they are not going to learn it now, and they won't learn it tommorow.

I just don't understand why anyone would want to defend any company that does this kind of crap to their customers. People can't be this stupid can they? I don't get it. What makes a person want to defend a company that compromised the personal information of millions of people?

Yup, hackers ain't gonna stop me from playing PS3.

I almost became a PS+ user. Thank God, I didn't make the move. And, to answer your question, yes I'll still stay with Sony.

Untillnow i didn't know what QRIOCITY was, now ill be using it as well..

This wont stop me using the PS3 but am starting to hate Sony. I hate how they they delt with the launch of the PS3 and the lack of games. I hate that i bought a PS3 at launch and bought 3 years warranty for my PS3 to break 3years and 1 months with Sony wanting to charge alot of money for a fault that alot of people had. I hate how i couldn't use the hard drive in my new slim PS3 and lost all my info as i didn't back up because i trusted Sony to make reliable hardware. I really hate their PR department that either doesn't give out enough info or just make up lies.

All my multiplateform game i have been buying has been for the PS3 even though they just let MS take the timed exclusive. Now am going back to buying multiplateform for the Xbox and any arcade game i will buy from xbox live.

I used to like Sony but after the PS3 now i dont. They destroyed their repertation. So i will use PSN but only with existing games and exclusives.

I feel better now after my rant.

imo whoever chooses to sell there ps3 because of this isn't right in the head. sure psn got hacked... that doesnt mean sony just let it happen, any other console is possible to be hacked, just sony got in feud with a bunch of ridiculously pathetic hackerswho have no lives, SONY will always have my trust

I wont sell my my PS3, but after it fails, I will not go back to Sony even tho have had one of their consoles since 97. This is just the final straw in a few issues I've had with Sony

I'll remain a PSN member, but I'll be switching to PSN cards for good. I'll probably cancel my PSN+ membership though.

4 sure YES, i trust SONY from long time ago

Yeh, but It's just a lucky coincidence schools started up again and i haven't had the time for PS3 anyway

Of course

Yes, because from what I have seen nothing is unhackable. Sony should have just kept their damn mouths shut and not sued everyone they could regarding modifying their system and they probably wouldn't be in this mess. We will end up with a much more secure system in place so I will absolutely remain a member, they only thing that will change for me is that I won't be using my CC anymore.

One bad experience isn't enough to warrant my leaving.TheFallenDemon

Don't see why not.

I'm in for yes, and yes I did put fake stuff in my account like address. The choices don't sport my country there. There's no apparent reason why I would quit PSN. PSN is free, anything that's free won't hurt you. :)

Yes, because I hate people with extremeist points of view. So what, a security breach happened, this happens almost weekly at major corporations the world over. Hell, if Sony hadn't taken the PSN down no one would even be complaining right now because they'd still get to game.

Thats really why people are complaining... most don't even understand the ramifications of their identity being stolen... and if Sony hadn't taken down the PSN, they'd still be absorbed in COD:BO and not paying attention to their credit statements to see if they have experienced identity theft.

For myself, sure I'm upset that my data was stolen. But with a little vigalence... watching my statements and my credit report... this is really just a blip on the radar.

People do love to make unneccessary drama though...

Of course.

Who sells their PS3 or stops using it over this? That's just ridiculous.

Yes. I'm not gonna let some twerp hacker in his mommy's basement ruin the PSN experience for me.

Yea. I mean, if I stopped supporting every company that ever had a problem with hackers, I would be VERY limited on things to do, what to buy, etc. People swear by things like eBay, Paypal, craigslist, but these companys have more security holes than swiss cheese.

Yes I will.

Honestly it will depend on if I was hacked or not. I dont have a credit card on my PSN so Im not worried about that, but if i cant use my PSN ID, Ill be out for a while on the PSN thing.If not, its just back to the way it was. why should a let something that was out of both mine and sony's hands effect me to not buy anymore of sony's product. Im aware sony could have shut it down earlier and Im aware they didnt have the best security, i just dont have any real hate against sony, they did what other companys should do, protect their product. And honestly who saw this coming? i sure didnt.

Either way, PSN still has treated me better than XBL, so Ill stick with it.

the only reason i bough ps3 was to take some heat off my 360, so i play all my single player games on ps3 and online on xbox. so i dont really need psn anyways other than game updates and expansions

I'm undecided, the loss of all my personal data (Name, Address, Postcode, Phone No., DOB) has really p****d me off, yes you can cancel your CC and be wary of what expenditures come out of your account but in the end it is the loss of the above data that's the main problem, especially given the amount of people out there willing to use this information to defraud companies to line their own pockets.

Anyone who would leave a free service is an idiot. I could see someone not renewing PS+ though.
