[PS3] Official PSN discussion thread

[ThomasTomasz]

I'm not going to make an rash decisions, but, if PSN was gone for good, I think it's a no-brainer that the PS3 becomes a paper weight. Problem is, if PSN is gone - it becomes worthless. Trade-in values would plummet. Shit would get ugly real quick.

Very doubtful that it would be gone forever. If it is, yeah, you wouldn't be able to play games online. There are still games to play, both exclusive and for the 360, that have great campaign/story modes, and the PS3 is a Blu Ray player.

With the online gaming community, and with it being as important as it is for some games, Sony will find a way to get it running.

PSN would never be abandoned. What do the multi platform developers do? What happens to Socom? Will never happen.

Please do not be back up until Monday after 5, when my last final ends. Thanks.

reverse psychology?

Your just a clueless black piece of crap. You don't know anything about technology it would be better if you just didn't chime in your opinion because it clearly doesn't matter.

ya know, its one thing to break balls with the brothers on the site...virix especially since he gives just as good....but i dont know what the fuck your thinking with this comment. Its not like you have any knowledge of technology and nobody has ever valued your opinion. not to mention i would take a black piece of crap over a white trash piece of shit any day

well at least now it appears to be some movement on the PSN front

Put my ps3 stuff up on Craigslist just to see if the right trade or other offer comes along. Someone already emailed me saying they'd paypal me $450 if I sent them an invoice. Asking price was $300. Lol @ you scammers.

Someone also offered me their 360 stuff but it was an old 120gb pro model with probably a lot of hours on it. No thanks.

Looks like it may be legit with this release from Sony.

Today our global network and security teams at Sony Network Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment began the final stages of internal testing of the new system, an important step towards restoring PlayStation Network and Qriocity services.

As previously mentioned, we’ve been working around the clock to rebuild the network and enhance protections of your personal data. It’s our top priority to ensure your data is safe when you begin using the services again.

We understand that many of you are eager to again enjoy the PlayStation Network and Qriocity entertainment services that you love, so we wanted you to be aware of this milestone and our progress. We will provide additional updates as soon as we can.

Third attack against Sony planned

Details on Sony's offering for identity theft protection for US residents.

 

Last weekend, Sony Computer Entertainment announced that we will provide complimentary enrollment in an identity theft protection program. Here are the details of this program for PlayStation Network and Qriocity account holders in the United States only. We are working to make similar programs available in other countries/territories where applicable. Information will be posted on local websites/blogs when available.

Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Network Entertainment International have made arrangements with Debix, Inc., one of the industry’s most reputable identity protection firms, to offer AllClear ID Plus at no cost to PlayStation Network and Qriocity account holders for 12 months from the time an account holder registers for the program.

Please note that we will start sending out activation emails for this program over the next few days, and you will have until June 18th to sign-up and redeem your code. You will need to sign up directly through AllClearID, not on Sony’s websites, and details, including step-by-step instructions for the program, will be emailed to United States PSN and Qriocity Account holders soon.

The details of the program include, but are not limited to:


-Cyber monitoring and surveillance of the Internet to detect exposure of an AllClear ID Plus customer’s personal information, including monitoring of criminal web sites and data recovered by law enforcement. If his/her personal information is found, the customer will be alerted by phone and/or email and will be provided advice and support regarding protective steps to take. The customer will also receive monthly identity status reports. Debix works with an alliance of cyber-crime experts from the government, academia and industry to provide these services.
-Priority access to licensed private investigators and identity restoration specialists. If an AllClear ID Plus customer receives an alert, or otherwise suspects that he/she may be the victim of identity theft, the customer can speak directly, on a priority basis, with an on-staff licensed private investigator, who will conduct a comprehensive inquiry. In the case of an identity theft, the customer can work with an identity restoration specialist to contact creditors and others, and take necessary steps to restore the customer’s identity.
-A $1 million identity theft insurance policy per user to provide additional protection in the event that an AllClear ID Plus customer becomes a victim of identity theft. This insurance would provide financial relief of up to $1 million for covered identity restoration costs, legal defense expenses, and lost wages that occur within 12 months after the stolen identity event.

More information will be available on the enrollment page, a link which will be included in the email you will receive.

We continue to work around the clock to have some PlayStation Network services and Qriocity services restored, and will be providing you specific details shortly.

Thank you.

I don't think the hackers will let it go. I hope that the PSN comes back on, but if it gets hacked again, its very, very bad news for Sony.

Stayed up until 1 helping him edit last night Twigg.
