I am sure your first thought when seeing a line of numbers and letters isn't going to be "That's the PS3 security key!"

CajunShooter

A bunch of code and a "Come at me" kind of looks like "Here's the master key. Now sue me"...

Looks like more IPs will be added to Sony's list :P

is sony going to sue kevin buttler ? :Pohthemanatee

Are you serious? That is 100% something that somebody playing Battleship would say; nothing hints at "security key" at all.

Doesn't Battleship use a numberXletter grid?

You guys DO understand that Kevin Butler's a CHARACTER played by an ACTOR, right??? RIGHT!?!?

Also, here is exiva's (Travis La Marr) twitter account-

His tweets are quite funny regarding this situation.

Since when does a actor or who ever in Sony's marketing crew have access and knowledge of the security key?? :shock:

What a huge fail, sony spending all this money on catching these other dudes, yet Kevin ends up giving out the security key on his twitter with millions watching!

That guy is ballsy as hell. :lol:

This begs the question: will Sony subpoena Twitter for the IP addresses of anyone who viewed their own retweet? :lol:

Really now?? So you work for Sony and they automatically give you the master code no matter if your job is in a whole different level?? :roll:

Seriously SW, get real.

Sony should sue him for giving that info out like they did for others. ;)Ontain

HAHAHAHA.... this is priceless... Cows, I give you your fearless leader.

If he tweeted that key before the PS3 got hacked, it would matter.

But since that key was discovered ages ago and is available all over the internet, it doesn't really matter that he tweeted it.

I wonder what KB is thinking right now lol

lol, does anyone really believe this is actualy Jerry Lambert (actor playing Kevin Butler) is really doing those tweets? Its some dude at SONY doing them i imagine.

Anyway, funny stuff.

So some guy found the key, tweated it to him and he replied to it, in turn broadcasting the key across his twitter?

I wonder what KB is thinking right now lol

So, why does an actor have the security key?

Maybe Sony should just open mouth, insert foot for giving that information to an actor........

People need to understand 2 things:

1. this isnt Jerry Lambert, the actor palying Kevin Butler, but a person at SONY.

2. He didnt tweet it, he retweeted it, meaning someone else posted it, but since he retweeted it it appeared on his profile.

Not looking so bad now is it? :P I'm the one being optimistic.

Im a tad surprised that you think NGP will be better. I thought you were all in on 3DS?

OK, OK, OK. So I clicked the Sausage link on GS (I feel dirty already....). Then I clicked the two Tweet links on the article prior to posting. I just have never used Twitter and don't intend to, so maybe I missed something. Seems like XboximusPrime explained it well enough here though, but thanks for the heads up guys.

I just figured it was him. :P

Atleast the guy had the sense to delete the tweet.

[QUOTE="XboximusPrime"]

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"] Direct conversion is always dodgy, it's not the bad when you consider US always gets these things cheaper let's not forget, 3DS launch price is £230 i.e. $360 (which you guys are paying just $250). Complete rip off considering Ninty is making a profit from the $250 US price.

Yet NGP online could be meh, Price could be a rip off, and could be region locked for all we know. im getting both, and im getting 3DS at launch mainly due to the fact I dont think ill be able to get one for a few months after launch, and theyres about 6 or so games I want that are coming out for it.

this is funny...i lol'd, but i kinda dont care at the same time

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"] Well no NGP was announced + the online is still meh, the region locking, and rip off price killed some of my 3DS hype (3 days before NGP was announced I done a blog that I decided not to get a 3dS at launch). SaltyMeatballs

I want 3Ds because I cant imagine not having the new pokemon, mario, and that Resident Evil game. Also, street fighter looks cool. Honestly, the 3D is the thing im least excited about. I just want a more powerful DS.

[QUOTE="XboximusPrime"]

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"] I really doubt online would be worse, PSN is better. Price is true. I am 90% sure it won't be region locked, they didn't even lock the PSP, PS3. Also my hype for the 3D screen died down, 5" Hi res OLED screen just sounds nicer :PSaltyMeatballs

yeah, but im afraid that when i do want one I wont be able to find one. thats why i like getting things like this at launch if I can. And if anything ill jsut paly odl DS games untill the stuff I want comes out and I dont have any 3DS games out at the moment I want. Because I know Nintendo will give me stuff I want eventualy.

[QUOTE="Riverwolf007"]

i'm not getting the joke here.

is it that sony has now officially released the key into the public and hackers can't be held accountable for any damages the info does?

If real, I would say Geohotz just received a boost to his defense :)

LMAO at the fiasco this whole situation is for Sony.
