Besides my gaming PC I have a PS3 with the Move and a NDS but I can't play any other game than Civilization 5 since I got it in October last year. I've bought so many games on Steam when they were on sale but haven't touched them yet because of Civilization. It's like playing chess - every game is so much different than the last and unpredictable.

"Hashing is not security it is simply putting that black cover in front of the playboy so it isn't openly visible to passers bye."

@Legion: you apparently don't know anything about cryptographic hash functions. If e.g. the word "fox" becomes "DFCD 3454 BBEA 788A 751A
696C 24D9 7009 CA99 2D17" after passing through SHA-1 hash function, how would you get back to "fox" again if you only had the hash return value? If you sol...

@ComboBreaker: I have two VISA cards associated with my two PSN accounts (EU and US) and I didn't canceled either of them. Only uninformed panicking people who don't know how banks work did. First no card security codes were stolen because they were not stored on Sony servers, it's actually forbidden for internet shops to store them. Without them the credit card numbers are useless. Second even if there were a fraudulent transaction the bank would reimburse you.

They can downgrade their products as much as they want, nobody forces you to buy them just like nobody forces you to buy overpriced Microsoft accessories. You could have bought fat PS3 - they were sold for years. Who is Sony bullying, those few people who stole and published their private keys? It's cute that you want Sony punished while the only one punished are PSN users - clearly you've never owned a PS3 otherwise you wouldn't want to punish yourself.

@eamon: what's retarded about someone who's not interested in online multiplayer and only plays SP gems like team Ico games? Do you know what's retarded and immature? This: "lolwut?"

1. Cancelling your CC was a waste of time and effort - whenever you pay in a shop the shop assistant has more info about your credit card than Sony.
2. There hasn't been a single confirmed case of money theft as a result of the PSN security breach.
3. Even if there has been a fraudulent transaction, your bank can still cancel it within two weeks.
4. Your address? It's in the telephone directory along with millions of others.
5. Email account: your passw...

How would they do that? Do you think Sony store our passwords as plain text? A 30 years old Unix OS doesn't store the password itself but its "digest" - the password encoded by a cryptographic hash function. E.g. "fox" becomes (if you use SHA-1 function) "DFCD 3454 BBEA 788A 751A 696C 24D9 7009 CA99 2D17". When you authenticate yourself later it runs your input through this function again and compares the return value with the stored digest. It only works in ...

It's ironic that you have valve logo as your avatar - the company that got completelly hacked by a German teenager. Luckily for them he was only interested in Half Life 2 source codes.

Two fools believing everything they read on the internet. :(

"Although if you go to any site discussing this a lot of PS3 owners are saying they are abandoning Playstation for good because of this"

This is one of the biggest gaming sites on the internet and I don't see a single PS owner here abandoning PS for good. Stop making things up.

Do you use your credit card in stores? I do... I must have paid with my credit card a million times. Do you know that every shop assistant has your full credit card numbe...

You can't have a patent on something as general as cross game chat or custom soundtracks... Running a voice chat program and a game at the same time is just a simple multitasking. MS only has a patent on one of endless possibilities of how to implement this functionality.

Are you surprised people still use Steam after the German hacker stole the complete source codes of Half Life 2? Why anyone is using Windows or IE after it turns out every month there are myriads of security holes in them?

Afraid of script kiddies and their pizza attacks?

How the hell would I know God is a spaghetti monster? There's absolutely no proof this information has been stolen let alone used. I don't even think the credit card security codes are stored on Sony servers - they are cached locally on your PS3.

I have to giggle at your stupidity and wishful thinking: no credit card details have been stolen and used by "hackers".
