Why the PSN outage shouldn't matter...

[Vanbael]

I trust that the hackers don't have the security codes. Those are never stored and are only needed for the approving of the billing. That and my card is a debit card that has had the rest of its funds blown on a plushie.

Also, I learned from a group of six silly people have taught me to

Spoiler: always look on the bright side of life

those reasons<my credit card info being at risk

I said positives, not the mind-blowingly terrible negatives.

So the PSN outage "shouldn't matter" because there are some positives you can look at despite the "mind-blowingly terrible negatives"?

I'm not going to pull a "Oh I'm so glad I don't own a PS3", because that is just low.

one thing i don't understand about people saying that, have they willfully forgotten/ignored that you don't need a PSN account to use the PS3?

What about all the stolen personal info? Shouldn't that matter?

As have a huge number of people pointed. This^

Also, shouldn't it matter to some of the people who are selling products online. I know there was an article stating some developers were okay but I'm not sure about the rest.

Having people illegally hack your system really isnt Sonys fault, it happens and has happened for years to banks, stores and even government type places. Where its bad is how long it took Sony to say or even ID that personal info 'may' have been taken by the hacker.

There have been plenty of people/experts saying if you do anything with a credit card/debit card you have about the same chances to have your info stolen. Either way 'Anonymous' really screwed over alot of people with their hacking once again and now have 75 million or so peoples personal info to play with.
