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?

They have never given us what they promised on time.digi198816

Well, that's better than buying from a company who intetntionally released a console knowing that it's defective.

Now that I have another job and can actually afford a PS3, should I even bother getting one?
I mean, it's been out for two years now.
Should I spend $400 on a system that will be outdated in another two years?
Is it worth it?

Look at the PS2. It's still going strong. look at what MS did with the origional Xbox. Now tell me do still think PS3 will be outdated in 2 years?

This is to people who complain about BC. Who plays PS2 or PS one games any more?? I mean only a select few and they have a ps2 already. So why is it important to have BC in the ps3?? Forget BC its not important, last gen is over people...move on to this gen already. If you want to play ps2 and ps one games buy a PS2. AgentZero225

I bought a PS3 MGS4 bundle because I never owned a PS2. Never even as much as played one. I want to play games that I missed out on over the years like MGS 1-3. I Also like the convenience of having both in one package. Less cables. No one should have to be foreced to buy two consoles.

Oh yeah and no one is forcing you to read the posts about BC. If anyone needs to stop complaining it's you. So stop your complaining about the BC complaining.

so,i get on-line to dutty4 and play only to hear that i suck at this game,and it doesn't stop there,then someone then gets a nasty mouth,saying everything under the sun? i mean its only a game people!and some of us work for a living,so we dont have 8-10 hours a day to play,i can only imagine that these are kid's,cause i cant believe adults would act this way,and i cant believe their parent's would raise them to have a nasty mouth! anyway remember it's only a GAME!Midevilatheart

LOL. I hope you were just kidding about that part. Some people in society don't have any respect or self control. The concept to them is foriegn. They are like animals. Can't reason with them. Sad part about it there are parents out there intentionally teaching therir kids how to be jerks. There is one couple that actually train their kids to curse people out at the door. Doesn't matter who it is. They think it's funny. When that kid become a teenager they won't think it's funny then. Many times I've seen adults behave worst then the kids. playing online won't sheild us from clowns like that. The best thing to do is just ignore them or try to play with people that actually has the ability to try to behave like a human being and not some mindless animal.

I am planning on getting a ps3 soon I was wondering if you guys think I should get the MGS 4 bundle or wait next month for the 80 gig with the Dual Shock 3spencer_119

Actually the MGS 4 bundle comes with a Dual Shock 3 controller. If I were you, I would try to find the MGS bundle. It's so convenient having PS2/PS3 in one console.
