Poll: How much has the hacking of PSN affected your lives so far?

[warhammerfrog]

Title explains it all comments and thoughts.

Please keep replies clean. And no you should have bought an xbox stuff we all hear enough of that.

I couldn't redeem my PC copy of Portal 2. That's about it.

You don't need the PSN to redeem a Steam code, just to connect from Steam to Ps3.

Honestly, not much. I had to cancel a card, but I have had to do that before. A few months ago a gas station attendant took my number and sold it to an organization who started charging it at bogus gas stations in New York. That was more a pain in the ass than this.

As far as multiplayer goes, I don't play too many of those on the PSN so that wasn't a big deal to me.

I would like the store back because there were a couple of games I wanted to try, but as for all the other stuff on the PSN, I have other ways to access Netflix and Hulu plus.

It hasn't at all. I haven't even turned my PS3 on in like six months or more, and who the hell knows when I'll turn it on next. Probably when Uncharted 3 comes out.

It's been mildly annoying. I switched my cards out at the start of the fiasco, which was a minor pain. Mostly though it's just stopped me from downloading DLC for Dissidia 012 so when it returns to life I've got the new Cecil and Lightning costumes to get, and any new costumes or music packs.

But you do need the PSN to connect to Steam from the PS3.

What I've seen so far was my Gmail account was, ah, intruded upon by someone in China. This does not make me happy.

Other than that, I've changed most of my passwords, but none of them have been intruded upon, so we'll see how that goes.

 

[DJDarque]

It hasn't. It's actually given me a reason to play old PS2 games.

 

[chris89300]

Haven't turned it on for months. I'm glad they got their shit ruined tho. Maybe now they'll get their heads out of their asses and stop being such assholes.

 

[badgersprite]

PSN was hacked?

*shrug*

*goes back to playing Abe's Exoddus*

 

[Herr Erscheinung]

I will not be able purchase and download the DLC Honest Hearts for Fallout: New Vegas till the end of this month. I hope the hackers are caught and severly punished.

 

[Woodsey]

All people need to do is cancel their card and have a new one sent.

"Affecting lives" is a bit dramatic.

 

[Cyrus Hanley]

Not much. I never entered my credit card details into my account, so the only thing that was stolen was my username, password, email address, first and last names, home address...

Fuck.

 

[blacon]

The outage happened at a bad time for me because it was the day Socom 4 and Mortal Kombat were released in Ireland, and I had planned my long weekend around playing them online. I go through periods of not gaming too much, pity this happened when I really wanted to play!

 

[Tynermeister]

I had just bought portal 2 and so can't play co-op. Other than that I just have other things to do. Should probably alter all my passwords tho . . .

 

[KingofallCosmos]

I'm out of a job, my wife and kids left me and I owe money to the mob.

Otherwise? Me groine's foine. I play single player only so it just means I can't shop at home. All the fuzz and questions it raises does bug me though.

But you do need the PSN to connect to Steam from the PS3.

That's just for cross-console playing, though. The Steam download is separate from the connection.

My brother's email got hijacked only for someone to send out two spam messages (though this might be unrelated). Who ever did it though was awful at it though. Here's a hint: Dont.wRitE.lIke.tHis.If.YouRe.faKing.a.pErsOnal.meSSage. and don't post hyperlinks inside of a single word made completely up of random letters. If you're going to do this sort of thing, please have the common decency to respect my intelligence.

Otherwise, the only other side effect has been me not being able to browse PS1 classics and DLC.

Also, anyone seeing some similarities here to something that happened a few years ago with Live?

Yes, the difference was that it was Christmas and the service shut down due to being overwhelmed, but the idea to sue right away (literally 2 days the end of the week of an outage, after MS apologized and offered compensation for Gold users and a free download) since MS apparently should have realized that the holidays would do that to a server (exact words are this "Microsoft knew the increase in subscriptions would increase game-play on its servers, yet failed to provide adequate access and service to Xbox Live and its subscribers" which just seems to echo the accusation at Sony).
