In Shadows, it is not just the box but also electric wires to the right of box that lose shadows.

Wow, this article is so mis-informed and full of typical "arm chair" journalism that it almost borders on racism.

I believe there is a class action lawsuit somewhere in this.

@TheLord_79: Nope it is robber's fault. Yet, do you think people will not laugh at you or blame you if they were to know that you used locks made of cardboard on all your doors? Tell me, would you trust your money with a bank that doesn't have decent enough security, that any kid with a toy gun could rob? If yes, may I interested you with private banking services? I'll give you 40% annual interest on money you deposit with me, though there won't be good enough security. Anyone with a crowbar will be able to rob me. Deal?

@ggred: Very good points very well made. But I'd use same information for different argument. It is not that difficult to get ANY of that information. We fill out all sorts of forms with personal information all the time [talking about real world, not online]. Being a security person you would already know the power of social engineering and how any secure system is as secure as weakest link and that weakest link is always the human factor. What am trying to say is, our "identity" has never been safe. Does it give Sony a free pass? No. But need to realize that *WE* need to prepare ourselves with assumption that someone already has access to our personal information. What does it mean? Well, for a CC holder it means keep regular tabs, ALL the time. Would be good if all considered this a wakeup call and stayed vigilant always.

PSN is doomed to failure now. No matter how secure ANY network is, there is always a way and means to break into it. Which means, once Sony brings PSN back up, many hackers, mostly the non-malicious kind, will see it as a challenge. The moment Sony secures PSN a clock will be running to see how long it lasts before it is hacked. It is gonna be a perpetual cycle. And guess who suffers the most in this... people like you and me, well not you if you use XLive.

I think one of the best written villians in recent times was Edgar Ross in Red Dead Redemption. You know the writers did their job very well when you say "f**k yeah" as you shoot him between the eyes.

@FallenOneX: I think you added a space after @ so I didn't know you replied till you msged me. I agree that Sony/MS/Nintendo won't be affected by whether people hold on to purchasing a new system due to lack of good launch titles and will not affect their future launches. I think they key point of article is bashing the herd mentality, or as a friend of mine likes to call it, the iSheep Syndrome. People buying stuff just coz it is shiny and new and everyone who wants to look cool and hip has to have one.

Wow! Folks really lack the comprehension skills. Article isn't bashing the console. Article is bashing folks who bought a console [handheld, if wanna be anal about it] without good enough games to play, yet. As someone else pointed out, very much like PS3/360 at launch. @FallenOneX: Yes, you can. I think that is the point of this article [unless a fools day joke]. Folks lap up hardware before [good] software is available for it. If people waited for games they wanted to buy before bying a system, they will be forced to give better games at launch. They are not gonna lose all the money they invested by just dropping the sytem. BTW, I bought the 250GB PS3 Slim Uncharted 2 Bundle, just in time for GOW3.

@Double_Wide: Umm.. actually no. If you consider Total Cost of Ownership a PS2 Slim+PS3 Slim works out much cheaper than a Fat PS3 with backward compatibility. Of course, the longer you use/play, greater the difference.
