you're a god and I love you.

this was beginning to get worse than the "ApocalyPS3" and "Nintendo announces new console!!!11!1!!!" spam threads.

edit: also, a very interesting theory on who caused this and how...can be viewed here:

Mods finally decided to make a sticky. Wow that took long :|

FINALLY thanks for the sticky

The true reason PSN went down. He needed to fund his latest attempt to merge Earthrealm with Outworld. Apparently PSN was nothing, weak, and sucked :P Not even the mighty PSN could formulate a strategy to take down Shao Kahn.

Well played Mr. Boon, well played.

Thank you! The threads were really flowing out. Anywaythis is really bad.I didn't add any credit card info thankfully I don't have to worry much about that.

I blame Skynet.

A sticky for the SONY DOOMSDAY!!!! love it....

GLaDOS don't have anything to do with this hack, she is too cool for that, when my PS3 start to release poisoning gas then i'll be sure that GLaDOS was involved...Scientology on the other hand...

i find it pretty funny to be honest. Sony ****** up hard, real hard :lol:

Thank You mods. But can you also make a Anonymous vs Sony Sticky.... :?

Now that people cant spam the front page with topics, I have a feeling all the fake outrage against Sony and not the hackers will die down :P

Kevin Butler should have never given control of Sony over to Skynet...

what a fail.

just saw a spot on cbs evening news...

sony needs to start with the damage control

Wish people would stop complaining about it. Hackers are the ones you should be crying about.

Now, I can see if CC and DC info was taken. That would be something to be upset about.

People gotta understand... That this stuff happens and if you played a MMO for any period of time... This is nothing new to you.

P.S.

Thanks for the sticky.

probaly be down for another week. :(

its gunna get nuts :P

Remember when Geohotz hacked the PS3? That was great.

This is a joke. I know hackers are to blame here but I lay part of this blame on Sony and their crappy Playstation network. Fix the ****** thing already. Sony is looking like a bunch of amateurs. I'm pissed! Why? Oh sure I don't have any credit card info on there thank goodness but why the **** do I need some guy checking out my address, password, name, etc...? Yes hackers suck but you know what? PSN sucks major donkey *****. Fix the **** and get your ****** PSN crap up to speed. :x :x :x

Hackers have broken into Visa/mastercards site, government sites of various countries and also Security firm's websites. While it may look like sony is acting like they have no clue what they are doing I can tell you that you are also underestimating how good these hackers are.

Well I hope no one is dumb enough to put credit card info on PSN after this since clearly it is a mistake. Worst part is how Sony takes a week to tell you the personal information is gone.rybe1025

Very true. This is why people should you prepaid cards rather than CC. On the bright side, at least gamers can enjoy the great weather! :P

Well its about time...gheeez, atleast you let the fanboys have thier 5 days of uninterrupted fun.

I am well strapped and my body is ready.

My dad cares more about the Father of Playstation being Dead :?
He comes back from work and he's like how was your day?
Nothing much just searched the internet for news and stuff about PSN.

(He cares about Playstation and Sony alot)

What did you find?

Nothing much, just that CC might be stolen

Good thing we use PSN Cards

Yea and Father of Playstation is dead.

NOO!!!

I blame Steve Jobs. Heil68

I blame obama

the PS3 owners vs PS3 (Skynet) battle has begun.

Sony needs to get their act together. Sony wants our money but can't protect our CC info which we use to buy their products. This is seriously ticking me off. I'm done with buying stuff off PSN.

I do have a CC On file, but I get a text and e-mail anytime a purchase is made with that card.So while I'm kind of worried, I've been in worse situations with my identity.
