So, they did not even attempt protecting their system in the first place, lol
Consequently, there was no need to break in... |

Way to go $ony, keep harvesting that wool of the sheep! |

Oh can you tell me what digital crap they are giving? Since you are so in the "know" of everything. Or are you just talking from that large arse vent of yours? |

I have a pretty good idea what "premium" account is. Is it holy grail to you? I wish you the best, I won't pray for you because I don't believe in all that jazz, but I wish you good luck. Go spend some money, don't mind me. Go and be good sheeple.
FYI: anything that has no hard copy is shit to everyone except to people like you. Only an american can pay for something that has no existence in real world. Or maybe even a Canadian. that only shows that you have too much to spare. Call me whatever you want. I send 10$ to africa every month and I work for 250$ per month. Think about it you asshole. |

I moved to Canada about 4 months ago.
I found a few intelligent people here already, so I can tell that there are some who would not - but then again, the guys I am talking about do not play video games... |

I do have a premium account. So far I haven't gotten one digital download that sucks. All fun games. Almost every 2 weeks there is a few new ones. Plus I get into all the beta's. For $50 for 1.5 years it's pretty affordable if you don't go out and buy everything that hits the shelves.

First of all, you can backup anything on ps3, so technically I do have a hard copy. Second of all I buy lots of things on console and on Steam. Steam stuff you can backup too! Is there a difference? only millions of people do the same. Get with the program man. I am not rich at all buddy. I work my ass off every day and bring home enough to provide for all the bills and to feed my family of 5. I try and spend my money wisely. That's why I have a console and not a pc with always the latest and greatest hardware. |

No clue why you two are going back and forth.
Sony giving digital credit so to speak is like a restaurant that gives the meal on the house. It's not too much of a big deal to the company which would upset me more as a customer.
I'm surprised more people aren't more focused on the fact that they appeared to have literally no security whatsoever. I had an email or I should say like twenty emails this year about a certain company that handled email for disney chase target etc and how they were compromised. The simple fact that one company handled so many large companies is scary. I suppose I'm alone here when I get an email or two a day from target walmart disney chase and more about such and such company being a one stop shop for all my personal information. |

Nothing just an idiot anti-console dick who's got nothing else better to do than diss someone or something when he really has no information what so ever. If he wants to put out stupid comments when he has ZERO facts he deserves what he gets.

What do you want me to do? Throw away all of my investment I have in my console? I have hundreds and hundreds of dollars invested in this thing. You think I should just throw it in the garbage can and go buy a xbox? Switch back entirely to lousy cheat infested PC gaming? No, I'd quit gaming all together if I was forced back to only playing on PC. PC is the shitbox of the industry.
Your information is stolen all the time Baconnaise, throw your email address into google or how about facebook. Half or more of the spammers use google to tap onto your information and put you on spam lists. My hotmail and google email accounts are inundated with so much spam I get like 200+ emails a day of all kinds of BS offers. |

I just read that a woman in Ontario filed a class-action lawsuit, claiming 1billion from Sony.
Maybe you could join and be set for life 
The fact is, Sony told you in their privacy statement that they will protect any information you give them. Well, it seems that they did not even bother setting up a firewall. Epic fail. |

I doubt anyone was talking about getting rid of anything. Why are you playing the wounded dove here? The PC bias is a nice touch after claiming the other guy has a console bias I had to chuckle irl. |
