Ive never ever owned a PlayStation of any #

Any Sony branded product I've ever purchased was terrible, from TV's and telephones to stereos and pregnancy tests. There wasn't one thing from Sony I didn't have to fix (or try to)

WTF?

Probably something from Sony Medical. Actually, not really. Probably one of their subsidiaries make pregnancy test kits.

No, thankfully..but I have seen enough friends have the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- completely scared out of them (or their life changed overnight) to make me thankful that I survived being a bachelor unscathed.

Lucky you friend. I was scared of girls for a long time. Diseases that could kill you, and the ability to suck the life out of you with a smaller version of yourself. It wont kill you quickly, just a slow agonizing death.

Girls are scary.

Your fear is very rational. After all, there is mathematical proof that girls are evil.

That's right...you're on a worse work filter than I am....

Ill just type it out (√ is a square root symbol):

Mathematical Proof that Girls are Evil:

First we state that girls require time and money.

Girls = Time X Money

And as we all know "time is money"

Time = Money

Therefore:

Girls = Money X Money = (Money²)

And Because "money is the root of all evil"

Money = √Evil

Therefore:

Girls = (√Evil)²

And we are forced to conclude:

Girls = Evil

And for all these reasons, we should all boycott Sony as best as possible.

Keep in mind, that may prove impossible. Sony is pervasive in just about every industry out there. Boycotting them is about as effective as boycotting Disney. Even if you don't buy anything directly from Sony, you're still going to send money indrectly.

I know. We've been through this statement before. That's why I said "as best as possible".

Yeah, I'm probably not boycotting Sony. What happened was a huge screw up on their part, but at the end of the day I'm not about to flush my PS investments down the toilet.

I'm upset and annoyed about this (not to mention I'm still not over their ridiculous hubris when the PS3 first came out), but I'm in it for the entertainment and as long as they provide content I enjoy, I can't see myself depriving myself of it to prove a point.

On the other hand, I may think twice about using PSN for purchases and I won't even consider using Playstation Plus. And, to be honest, anytime I put my credit card information out there, I'm aware of the risks of things like this happening (not only electronically, but even when I hand my card over to some minimum wage clerk at the store). The security breach is absolutely nothing to be flip about, but I'm not ready to breakout the torches and pitchforks until we hear more definite information. I'll just keep a close eye on my accounts and any scams attempts.

Doesn't PSN have those prepaid debit cards you can feed in?

Yes they sell the cards, so there's an option. I also think you can buy certain games over Amazon.com.

See, you cant argue with math either. Its a language. And its says that girls are evil.

U.S. regulators could get involved as well. The Federal Trade Commission has been known to pursue companies that failed to safeguard consumer data. It could investigate if it determines Sony failed to tell its customers about the company's privacy policies.

Nuts, the last time I was forced to update my system there was a user agreement that was so long I ended up putting a weight on the joystick so I didn't have to deal with scrolling through the mile long document.

Now it's going to be even more text and harder to scroll through that nonsense.

Yep, all the legal nonsense that we have to deal with only gets worse and worse every single year. To steal a bit of humor from Ben Heck's page:

Guy in that forum posted that the CVV2 codes were available as well.

According to Sony (i.e. take it with a grain of salt) the CVV2 codes were NOT included in the database that was thieved from them. And apparently the CC numbers were encrypted (as I read that somewhere else, too) but the rest of the information was NOT.

DaveMMR, all I'm suggesting is to stay away from anything in the future that has the name SONY on it, like TVs, etc. Yeah, you might as well get your money's worth out of this generation, but F them in the future. I still haz my PS2 (playing FFXII Int'l Zodiac Job System right now, incidentally). Of course, Sony isn't making any money off of it.

edit:

Even though these guys *probably* don't have the CVV2 codes, there's nothing stopping them from using all them in a crap shoot. 1/1000 shot for each card. And I'm sure they can get a few tries off each card before it's flagged or whatever the hell CC companies do. So 1/1000 on 2.2 million possible cards = JACKPOT!

As a xbox guy gotta say i'm finding this all pretty funny, sorry guys. I guess all the free online play in the world isn't worth your deets being stolen?

SavannahLion · « **Reply #70 on:** April 28, 2011, 08:12:57 pm »

The inclusion of the CVV2 may indeed be true. I thought all credit card companies specifically require the number to be discarded after a transaction but only VISA requires that in the U.S.. PCIDSS requires it globally but I don't know the extent of their authority.

All they had to do was keep the "OTHER OS" now look what happened.

it's like buying a bicycle and the manufacturer coming to your house a few months later and removing the seat from it.

or a car manufacturer coming to my house and telling me i can't drive my car anymore because I put a Fram airfilter in it.

I'm no account hacker or credit thief so I don't know how either work but I would assume if they were smart enough to hack into a multi million dollar network one of them or the handfull would have no trouble making a program to decrypt a 3 digit code with 2.2 million comparibles.

Wouldn't that only happen if they prove he hacked the network?

I'm still annoyed over my PS2 slim having a bad laser (design defect from the first model) so yeah, aside from everyone being inconvenienced by this, I'm happy Sony looks bad.

It was probably someone who had their PS3 banned from the network.

Doesn't every sony have a defective laser?

I have gone through 3 PS1s and a PS2 before giving up on Sony products. The 2 defective sony cameras and the sony tv that went out after 3 years didn't help me any.

Yeah, sony is gonna work real hard to gain any trust from me.
