They're really banking on this Mayan Apocalypse covering for them.

^ It's a great way to turn out this fiasco. No one will care when they're dead! Sony will be back on top when there's no one else around to say they're not!  |

Analysts think this will cost Sony at least $1 billion. Ouch. Which, statistically speaking, is barely 1/14,333rd the amount of the current US national debt. [[source]] |

Yeah so Sony is taking way longer than Microsoft would to fix this.
So the people who are pro microsoft- what do you actually gain from this? I am curious why so many people get so aggressive over this kind of stuff.

It's just fanboy posturing, which is really stupid. If the same thing happened to Xbox Live, the Sony fanboys would probably be even more relentless in their mocking since XBL is mostly a paid service.

I guess it's just another SNES/Megadrive thing -still though, I kinda thought people would have been more mature about these kind of things by now.

Expecting gamers to be mature is way too tall an order. |

This guy I know over at another site said random Paypal charges have been showing up on his card. I'm glad mine happened to expire in April and I got a new one. I'm going to stop being lazy and just re-enter my info each time when I buy things online.

Really can't say Microsoft would have done better now either. It's just as much as an assumption as earlier as we've yet to see Microsoft handle a similar situation. Nor do we really know why this is taking so long.
What if your computer gets infected with a key-logger?

I am curious why so many people get so aggressive over this kind of stuff. I wouldnt' argue that I'm "pro-Microsoft," it's just that Xbox Live is a considerably more secure and robust service with infinitely better customer service. Sony's handling of this situation and the very fact that it even got to the point where it happened is evidence of how inferior the service is and how little they care about actually keeping their customers happy or even securing their information (they didn't even encrypt passwords). I suppose, to an extent, my being aggressive about it is mostly because I'm sick of having to listen to people argue that Sony is by any measure a better company than Microsoft when it comes to this issue. Sony "fanboys" are painfully blind and ignorant when it tends to come to defense of their service, and this situation is really proving how ridiculous the brand loyalty is. There are reasons to prefer PSN, I'll definitely admit that, and plenty of legitimacy behind considering it the better service for you even after this event, but it's just a seriously embarrassing hit for Sony and I'm hoping it knocks their swarms of blind loyals down a few rungs. |

Honestly, I can't believe no one's tried to hack XBL after all this, if only to see if it could be done as easily as PSN.

I'm sure it's been attempted. Maybe not on as massive a scale as the PSN attempt, but probably something more individual like cheating or inflating E-Penis--erm, Gamerscore.

That happens all the time, yeah. Just wouldn't think a group like Anonymous would split hairs over companies like MS and Sony.
