I do hope that everyone,s details are safe and nothing happens to there bank account.
If they have been taken and used hope that they get there money back.

Im sure everyone will be using psn cards in the future.

Istanbull4786d ago

Whatever Sony is doing, we will support them all the way, I can't believe we can't play online because of anonymous butthurt fangirls of gayohot

Krakn3Dfx4786d ago

Nah, as soon as it's back up, I'll plug in an updated credit card. This is the 3rd time at least in as many years that some online service I use has been compromised and I've had to cancel the card I was using the have it re-issued. This is no different than when it happened with NewEgg or Monoprice or Amazon. I'm not going to treat it any differently, and extremist "sky-is-falling" fanatics need to put this into perspective.

Good post from someone who works in the security industry:

a multi billion dollar company pwned by some virgin nerdy basement dwelling hackers wow Sony

if the fact that its been offline doesn't, but when we get to credit card details getting lost now it goes beyond a joke, this is straight up unacceptable.

Ilikegames764786d ago

The problem is that in some region the prepaid card is not yet available. I'm glad that I did use the prepaid card for my purchases in PSN.

"There is no need for customers to contact their bank or card company at this stage. However, customers should continue to do what they should normally be doing - checking their statement and keeping a close eye on their account for any unusual activity – if they spot any they should then contact their bank or card company."

Well that makes me feel a little better.

Prototype4786d ago

It's something people should have done even before this happend. I'm actually kinda glad sony declined my private info back in 2010 and I had to use prepaid cards so my personal info was never compromised. After this incident I'd even question paypal just to verify they won't get hit like this.

newn4gguy4786d ago

Just got off the phone with my mom. She's a loan counsellor. Trust me...we're fine.

B1663r4786d ago

I would take that as confirmation that your cc# has been compromised, and call your bank immediately, and have them issue you a new account number and eat the $5 or whatever it is your bank charges for a new cc#.

newn4gguy4786d ago (Edited 4786d ago )

Seriously...why would anyone own a debit/credit card without getting identity theft insurance?

How dumb are people?

If my identity is stolen...I'm good. It's been stolen before and he was caught immediately.

Edit: Who is disagreeing with everything?

Fishy Fingers4786d ago

I always use my credit card when buying online (its the only reason I own it), whatever happens, I'm covered.

NavySeal744786d ago

Edit: Who is disagreeing with everything?

Dont worry about it i get them aswell.

lee_ten4786d ago

don't worry about the disagrees. there are very disturbed people running around and disagreeing with everything that even resembles some form of agreement with sony.

lee_ten4786d ago (Edited 4786d ago )

i hope that sony recovers from this soon and go after these hackers. they need to be thrown in jail.

SuperSaiyan44786d ago

From Sony stating that my details along with everyone elses might have been taken...This is not good.
Since we can't get on the PSN is there a way of removing all the details? Otherwise will have to call Sony or something this is very worrying :-(

Fishy Fingers4786d ago (Edited 4786d ago )

Currently, I dont think so, the website that allows you to edit details is down https://store.playstation.c...

But really, I wouldnt worry to much, dont let the internet bombardment put the fear of god into you. Your probably as likely to win the lottery as you are have your details first obtained, but more importantly, used.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5109d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905109d ago (Edited 5109d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5109d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5109d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495109d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5109d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5109d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
