It actually is pretty sad to see such a huge company so easily hacked. Sadder to think that no one in their employ is as smart as these hackers. Seriously? These are the kind of people you need to be hiring Sony. Maybe you should try and make nice with them. You've been attacking hackers ever since the PSP hit the market. Some of them were nice and friendly and probably could have given you better security against those nasty, bad guy hackers

Just a thought

It's real, but most likely useless.

It's not that these guys are "smart", it's that they probably live in their parents basements all day and have nothing to do but shit like this, and are clinging on to this shred of net-glory like there's no tomorrow. There's a workaround for every bit of Internet security. That's not to say Sony's isn't piss poor, though.

I like it. It should cut down on frivolous lawsuits for the perceived harm. They can still use linux, they jus won't be supported with software updates and psn. Now the added cost of these class action lawsuis won't be passed down to the consumer, as they eventually do...

So the judge confirmed what everyone knew all along: Sony doesn't owe you shit and they didn't force you to do anythng. I can hardly wait for another round of self-entitled whining and moping.

Oh man. Sony must have paid off that judge pretty good.

My PS3 still hasn't be updated. Other OS remains intact. I haven't bought a single PS3 game (not even used) since. You may have won this court case Sony, but that doesn't mean I will start buying PS3 games again. Fuck you.
