Your clueless if you think your CC information couldn't be exposed on any other site. It has nothing to do with MS or SONY. Sick best friend reference... not.

your right, it could happen anywhere on the web

I'm not sure if I addressed that issue or not, but I can see where the 360 network went down. If I recall correctly, I was affected by that outage. But, it was right after Christmas, when people got a new system, and people then had to pick games to play. Naturally, Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare were out for a couple months, and that caused them to get on Live as well.

Microsoft was not prepared for that influx, and it showed. Also, I know that I was affected, but my connection was sporadic. There would be times during that week I would have access, and there would be times I didn't. I'm not an expert, but those are signs of an overloaded server.

Still, down is down, outage is outage. I would rather have it due to a spike in gamers than to hackers though.

Oh, no question I would take an outage because of overloaded servers over this nonsense any day of the week. Just offering Undertow for free was bullshit though.

Well guess that settles that. Picking up Brink for 360 tomorrow then.

I don't really play that much online anymore regardless, so this doesn't effect me too much. However, it is annoying the crap out of me that I need to log in to PSN in order to unlock my free copy of Portal 2 on Steam. It's making me hope/wish that Valve does something on their end to try and circumvent the requirement (since technically it is just a Steam code anyway, you just can't type it in unless your on PSN).

As far as this thread is concerned, it is pretty rife with bitching, but still, there are some questionable borderline pro-Sony posts. I understand if you're a fan of a system, but trying to excuse the abhorrently poor business practice of Sony the last few weeks is borderline retarded. Sony's inability to get this shit under control, and the fact that they keep seeing timelines for themselves that they can't meet, is just making them look foolish at this point, regardless of the fact that hackers are everywhere and that the same thing COULD happen to Nintendo or Microsoft. Guess what? It isn't happening to them, it's happening to Sony, and it's been a nightmare for them.
