Will you be done with the PS3?

Hey guys, so obviously there is a sticky, but I am hoping the forum mods will let this one pass, just because I think this is something a lot of PSN users will want to voice their opinions on and it can't really be done in the mass sticky thread. If not, I'm sure they will lock it.

Anyway, so the main question on my mind is simple... will I be done with PS3 regardless of what happens next? Well honestly, I see to see what happens over the next week to really decide if I will be done with my PS3. They have a lot of great exclusives, and I have always loved their consoles, but at the same time, I do NOT approve of how they have been handling this situation, and honestly, this is our worst fears come to pass, because the hacker(s) basically got everything

So I don't want to take a long time drawing this out just in case it gets closed, so lets just finish up and get the poll started:

Are you going to be done with Sony when all of this is over?

Maybe. It remains to be seen for me. The Playstation name is something I grew up with and Sony's products are for the most part, reliable and top quality. But like you TC, my trust in them is a bit shaken. When it comes to personal info, the consumer has a right to know if theres any possiblility of it being compromised. Sony had this problem after roughly a week, and we just now know about a possible breach with our info. Thats unacceptable, imo. Its basic damage control to warn customers of any compromised security.

Should this happen again, I'll probably be done. But I trust to a point, that Sony will not muck up like this again. Too much is on the line for them.

I don't see what the big deal is really. I bought the PS3 simply because of the games, and I intend to keep my PS3 because of that.

I am very angry at Sony but i wont be rid of the console. I payed hundreds for it and its part of my entertainment value but i will not be buying Sonys next gen console or any future Sony consoles from now on.

The impending "revamped" PSN better do its job-- that's all i'm saying.

The poll options are kinda retarded as I don't think anyone will "get rid of" their $300 PS3 just because of a security breach. One can easily change their remove or change their credit card information, address, etc etc. However, that is not to say that I am not outraged about the incident and upset that my information has been stolen from the entrusted PSN network. The bottomline is I will now think twice about buying anything through PSN for the simple reason that I will no longer trust them in storing important financial information such as my credit card number and other things like secret questions and such. They have seriously let me down. Seriously.

No, I've great time with my PS3 and I'm mainly SP gamer. This whole PSN accident only affect me by slightest. A lot of SP games out there to keep me entertained. :)

I've had a PS3 for about a year now. I've played online basically twice. This hasn't really effected me at all, and does not change the enjoyment I get out of the system.

Any big company could potentially be hacked. It's not the first time my personal information has been compromised and it won't be the last. Welcome to the internet age!Weenski

damn right! WoW comes to mind lol...my account there got hacked long ago and luckly my personal info wasnt there as far as credit cards...but ya...i'm sure someone could bork over xbox live if they really wanted to!!! Sony apparently majorly pissed someone off, and someone went out of their way to get into PSN.

No, and if anybody does it will be for the most idiotic reason.

Why would i be done with the PS3? it still has some of the best exclusives out there. PSN being down doesn't effect that.

No I won't be done with the PS3. I've got plenty of single player games to play anyway and the only games I play online at the moment have been Test Drive Unlimited 2 and Motorstorm Apocalypse. I'm just annoyed with the lack of information and the fact Sony don't reply to anyone on the European Playstation Blog or even the American Playstation Blog.

No way.. the idea of ditching my console because we were told to go outside for once isn't going to make me throw it away.

Despite the problems, the PS3 is my favorite console. I love the exclusives. I'll just be a little more careful now when it comes to putting my info online.

No, but i might get the next xbox once next gen consoles come out. Live just seems better to me, and i don't think it's been hacked like this before. Better safe than sorry.

No but I'll be extremely wary of trusting Sony with my details in the future, they've lost my trust.

not at all, any service could be hacked.. and the ps3 is still a wicked cool console.

I will stay loyal to sony but i will never use my card details on psn ever again, i shouldn't have been stupid enough to do that anyway so i feel partly responsible if someone has stolen my details. The ps3 is a great console with some good exclusive's that i wouldn't wanna miss out on.

No. As soon as the PSN is back up I'll be using it as usual. If some hackers want to once again prove that they're the scum of the earth, I'll hate them, not Sony. I'm sure no network is 100% foolproof.

No, but I am done trusting them with my personal info. I'll also be weary to buy online games for my PS3 because at any time this could happen again. I'll stick to single player only games for my PS3.

This is when Sony needs us the most to help them out with their problems, once they pull through, we are all going to be rejoicing! :D

I wont be selling my PS3, but I will NEVER be using a credit card to make purchases again. I hope they learned their lesson, and have FIRED their DB administator for not encrypting the tables with passwords and CC #'s in them. Cleartext?!? Seriously?!?!??! Sony, thats just pathetic.

sony are doing everything they can, if people decide to give up on their ps3 because there too impatient or because they feel there info has been stolen, then clearly they didnt buy the ps3 for the games which most people generally would do

Definitely staying with Sony, I've always had Playstation consoles, and sad pathetic hackers won't stop me from staying with the most technically advanced console available.

i think people are forgetting who are the enemies here, Sony is not a perfect invunarable force that some people might think. Hackers are clever criminals that have penetrated governement databases and have commited far worse crimes. ON the same note, Sony are not a bunch of flakes either, they know what thier doing and will come up with a solution. I say patience is what they need from their customers, playing offline can be alot of fun, has been for me. Even as a PS+ subscriber who will not be getting my Tues updates tonight, i still beleive in Sony as the strongest company in consloe gaming today. FLAME ON HATERS !!mffmiguel

Finally, someone who has been saying the same things I've been saying on the news comments for the last week! It's good to hear another voice of reason in the sea of negativity and PS3 slagging. All systems can be hacked, most systems HAVE been hacked, not Sony's fault. I tip my hat to you mate.

I will be keeping my console but i wanna know what will happen to the things i purchased that i never got to download b/c the network went down? Should i be held responsible for their mistakes. The network was obiviously not secure. I'm not blaming them entirely but i'm going to say they could have been more prepared for this. What if they get our cc info and use it? Shouldn't sony be held responsible? if you go to k mart and buy something and then kmart waits a week to tell you that someone hasstolen it......they would have a lawsuit on their hands.

Uhm, no.

Things happen, and it's no reason to sell your PS3 over, regardless of how Sony approaches the problem.

If people don't want to support Sony after this, the cool, but keep in mind, your PS3 is already puchased, so how does selling it matter?

I will continue to play, and buy new games on my PS3 as I always did.

No, what a rediculious idea. If I were to quit using things because something got hacked I would have been tossing my computer in the trash long ago.
