A couple of people have told me that some high tech Russian thieves are to blame for the security breach but i'm fairly convinced that this is Anonymous' doing. They did say they had something big up their sleeves. Either way, now is a good time to boycott Sony.
Also; four out of the five articles in the MyGaming featured articles list are about Sony, now that's a PR disaster, then again they do say "all publicity is good publicity".
Personally, I don't care for any of this- I only have my sympathies for Sony in this balls up. What I would like to know though is if the PS3 console prices will be coming down? :P
This reminds me of those people that storm an accident scene where a goods truck crashed :pQuote:

And the award for recycling the same point and using it as a rebuttal goes to OmegaFenix :D I know MyGaming is a news site and that's why i used them as an example of how Sony's public image is not looking good at the moment. Sony is just another headless money-hungry corporate behemoth that deserves to be boycotted, do you really need any more reason than that?

There is no I in team. All the engineers in the world would mean nothing with out a decent marketing department, bean counters, even little old ladies that answer phones.Quote:

FFS there is a guy in the "Osama is a dead man" thread that, and I quote;
which just screams "People are idiots".Quote:

Why? Because they are money hungry? BS! Then all companies are "bad". Its not illegal or "bad" to overprice something or give a limited service. Its the consumers own stupidity to go head over heals into a sale without doing his/her homework. 99% of the time there are choices.... (Telkom and Eskom excluded :p) If you don't like Vodacom then support MTN or CellC. Each to his own, because you didn't like the helpdesk lady at the local Vodacom shop doesn't mean Vodacom is bad and we should boycott it. I'm going off topic with the cellular story (personal expirience lately) but what I'm getting at is Sony is just a normal big company like MS, Samsung, LG etc. Each one trying to get ahead in the market.Quote:

Hopeless optimism gives me gas.... Everywhere i look i see the stupid and the ignorant to my eyes there is nothing else.Quote:

The % of customers that want Linux on for Linux's sake is so small it hardly matters. The real reason the majority of these dim witted twats want is is to cheat, hack and steal. The entire PSN network outage is due to the breach in the PS3's security, hat geotwat not broken it 24 million credit cards would not have been in danger. So yeah Sony had and still has a legitimate reason for removes the other OS feature from the PS3 and its the same reason you don't let a 3 year old play with a loaded gun, its stupid and will bow out its own brains of that of someone else.Quote:

Or maybe those of us who can, should just use Linux ;)
Hmmmm.... what would House say if asked the same question....Quote:

As for Linux... if it was really the best thing since sliced bread would it have made its way to the top of the food chain all by its self, the way Android has done in the mobile market. Instead of Linux being a OS powerhouse it remains a niche OS and in that pudding is the proof.
And you have become what you so dearly despise.
Dude, I honestly couldn't give a fack what House says, or anyone for that matter, fictional, or real.Quote:

Well that's my subjective perspective on the story at least.Quote:
