Microsoft: PSN hack is bad for the games industry

OXM UK: "Microsoft executives have gone on record about the Playstation Network hack, saying it's bad for the gaming industry and it highlights the need for safer online environments.

To be fair to MS "ask a stupid question and you'll get a stupid answer".

I think the interviewer was expecting them to say, "ah Sony suck blah blah blah", but in truth MS see Sony as healthy competition.

[QUOTE="tormentos"] PSN is ok even the damn Pentagon has loss sensitive information to hackers,MS is not different and millions of people have experience not only data theft,but also identity,and had their PC basically kill thanks to hackers and the biggest and most hacked software is Windows a MS products,trowing a jab at sony for PSN is silly MS has been putting data as risk from millions of computers before the PS was even born.sethman410

[QUOTE="sethman410"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] yeah sorry man but when a company basically is caught running their security off apple II's then its a very large embarrasment. Specially when it took them forever to let people know and then wouldn't give specific information and instead used words like maybe, may have and possibly but unlikely. Oh and http://psndowntime.com/They still haven't managed to get the network up as a whole yet.

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]

[QUOTE="tormentos"] Not more than the $100 network adapter,$20 dollars on PC and the 20GB for $100,when for $50 you could buy a 160 GB one back then.sethman410

[QUOTE="tormentos"][QUOTE="racing1750"] That's not a fact, that is your opinion ;)WilliamRLBaker

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]

[QUOTE="sethman410"] Your point? They haven't confirmd any identy theft losses. So, your saying psn being down was a larger embarrassment than pentagon being hacked. Lolwut. The biggest point is, there is no such thing as hack proof. Who cares about psn not being up as a whole yet? That's actually smart thing to do... Because they want to be hell sure that the security is much much tighter this time around.sethman410

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"][QUOTE="tormentos"] It is a fact not my opinion dude,charging for something that has been free for ages is is ripping people off,you can argue that you see value on it,but still a rip off,you use your own game,your own connection and your own 360,and MS charge you for allowing you to connect period.tormentos

[QUOTE="sethman410"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] every single accesory for the ps3 is expensive just as expesive as the ones on the 360 *and no where near the quality either the 360 controller far superior the dual shock and has far better battery life too*. If all you have is 2 things then you really dont have anything. Seems like Sony ""rips off"" their customers just as much.

:lol: Xbox live was down for like 2 weeks and it wasn't even down it was down for some people some of the time and others not down at all, all caused by people wanting to get onto the superior service.

Far different from Sony basically having an attitude that hey its free we wont get hacked we don't need security and then being forced to go down for...http://psndowntime.com/that place has all the information about the total downtimes.

[QUOTE="sethman410"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] One incident does not dismiss another incident. A man murders another man then saves another man does not dismiss the previous case of murder. So comming around and saying But it happens all the time or But this happend to these guys does not change the fact that Sony was embarrased highly and rightfully so.

[QUOTE="sethman410"] You have to buy batteries for xbox 360 controller therefore "having larger battery life" is irrevelant.sethman410

nah its pretty much confirmed fact the wireless headset is a confirmed egonomic nightmare before they changed it *confirmed ergonomic nightmare BECAUSE they changed it it went from this boxy hard angled thing to soft curves if it wasn't an ergonomic nightmare they wouldn't have changed the design* Controller not nearly as good battery life as the 360 controller, triggers, analog sticks ergonomic nightmare.

I could list others? they aren't equal thats 50 more hours of game time without having to wait and charge it up, then you have the fact the 360 will charge your controllers when plugged in while its turned off the ps3 wont, you can get a 360 controller and play and charge kit combo for the same price as a dual shock 3...so they aren't equal.

Note: I'm off to go mow the yard do not take my absence as defeat or you or tomentos as proving some sort of point i will be back to reply.

This hack was nothing more than an excuse for some sorry hackers to make trouble. Its like looters that take advantage of large crowd gatherings or protests. At least Microsoft is saying something which takes some guts considering everyone else is getting hacked.-ArchAngeL-777-

[QUOTE="racing1750"][QUOTE="tormentos"] Yeah because milking the consumer dry with xbox live and over priced add on is any better.WilliamRLBaker

[QUOTE="sethman410"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] the 360 controller using batteries has about 30-40 hours more battery life then the dualshock 3 the Rechargable battery pack for the 360 controller has about 50 more hours battery life then a dualshock 3...yeah sorry it completely applies Sony charges just as much for their accessories that have the same examples of accessories as the 360 and they aren't even as good of quality.

Since last year, yes.

Though I suppose you have a point, all the old xboxes before last year have probably RROD'd by now, so yeah...good point :P

Its nice to see they're not trying to take advantage of them with a smart comment.

Or are they? :o

Alright Killzonexbox, ou have got to STOP posting about hacksand and stop give these d bag hackers soo much free press.
