    this is interesting. i suspect sony is screwed ive learned one thing on my years on the net. despite the best efforts of companies nobody can ultimately stop hackers and if they hackers are hell bent on screwing your over your screwed and theres no way around it.

    you cant stop hackers and piracy sony get over yourselves. there was once a day where gamesharks were awesome....stop ruining peoples fun.

    at the end of the day if you buy something there is nothing wrong with taking it apart nothing at all.

    Lol @ Anom. You can never underestimate these guys, obviously, but you sure can laugh at them for being so hung up something so stupid. Their buddies were idiots and got themselves into legitimate legal trouble. And Sony is not screwed. Why? Because money talks and bull**** walks. How much more can you hurt the PS3? The hack is already out there and people were already working to bypass the ban before these guys came along, so there's nothing new. What are they gonna do, go on gaming sites and give all their exclusives low ratings? C'mon....

    Lol anonymous, I'm sure Sony are shivering with fear at the thought of ddos attacks.

    These guys are pathetic, ignorant to the fact that Geohot and others were the ones who started this situation in the first place.

    I thought this was confirmed to be fake? Also how can I take people like this seriously when ultimately all they are saying is:

    "Give us your stuff for free without any form of penalty or consequences or we will do harmful things to your business. Also if you tell anyone we will still do harmful things to your business"

    That sounds like something i've heard of before:

    black·mail   

    –verb (used with object)

    to force or coerce into a particular action, statement

    ex·tor·tion   

    –noun

    the crime of obtaining money or some other thing of value by the abuse of one's office or authority.

    ex·tort   

    –verb (used with object)

    to wrest or wring (money, information, etc.) from a person by violence, intimidation, or abuse of authority; obtain by force, torture, threat, or the like.

    to take illegally by reason of one's office.

    Blank friend invites, chainmails, account sharing = BLOCKED

    in a way im glad there are people out there that have some skills to fight back aginst big corps ect but i think they need to pick there fights a little better. Sony is doing what any one would do, defend there product and cash flow. if some one picked the lock on YOUR house or car and then put up a sign saying your house was now no longer protected how would you feel. Geonot did basicly just that with the ps3. he him self may not have done it so he can pirate games and cheat online but he new dang good and well what was going to happen and people like him needs to figure out there are consequences for there actions. As for all the people blathering on about how you cant stop hackers and piracy so just stop tring. well you cant stop all murders,car jackings,rapes ect but does that mean the cops' should just stop tring? no you keep fighting. maybe if some of these people running there mouths ever actually made something,put a lot of time and money in to making a product to sell and had people just steal it they would sing a def tone about sony protecting there products.

    It is not crashed I am online now. I could not play call of duty black ops online. And as for the Anonymous guys I don't understand how you can hack some one stuff and don't expect the company you hacked to do anything. Now the people that actually pay for sony's products have to suffer. Me personaly I don't mine Sony doing what they are doing as long as they continue providing good (Free) Online play and putting out some of the best games ever.
