I honestly don't think that identity theft is very likely to happen from this hack. I think this was more of an attack on Sony than an attack on the customers, and that whomever did it is smart enough to know that if they actually used the stolen information, the chances of them being caught would go up astronomically. Considering how highly publicized this shutdown was that Congress, the FBI, and other national goverments all took note of it, any reasonable PSN user would be watching their credit card statements and checking their credit history to ensure credit card theft did not occur to them and the hackers would know that.

I definitely have to agree with this. I think the first time I really realized how important music is to games was the first time I played Metal Gear Solid when it came out. The music in Sniper Wolf's death scene still gets to me. I think for the most part the only times I've played without the sound on since have been in a couple sandbox games when I was just collecting items and not really focused on the game to begin in. That and in GTAIV when just driving or doing random things, and that's only because I found most of the soundtrack to be awful.
