There are some claims that the PSN is coming back on-line. Has anyone been able to confirm this? It (netflix) still doesn't work for me even with the "o" hack mentioned above. I might have to go back to watching blu rays or even resort to buying a game for my PS3 so it will get used again.

Supposedly this is a retaliation against Sony's handling of the people that finally hacked the PS3. It sets up a bit of a dangerous precedent -- go after hackers that have essentially ripped off your intellectual property and they'll come back and gain access to your customers' data and expose it.Originally posted by Surfah View Post
Now, people think they DID gain access to CC information.
The 360 and Wii were hacked long before the PS3. Nintendo and MS didn't seem to go after anyone with the same vigor and it seems like Nintendo and MS weren't the targets that Sony is now.
The big question is whether Sony's safeguards were as solid as, say, MS's or Nintendo. As good or better than MS -- highly unlikely -- MS is a software company and the security of its network is in its wheelhouse. Nintendo still has never established much an online gaming network so the need was less. Sony is a hardware company first and a content company second -- software is a distant last. That's been the Achilles heal for the console with the best hardware and the better first party developers of the HD twins. They should have outsourced the production of its online aspects to someone like google or even Apple, though I doubt Apple would have wanted to deal with Sony.
Nintendo is coming out with its HD console a year from now. I think Sony has given it a huge opening.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”Comment

blu-ray still works. Some folks can actually get their netflix to work as well by canceling out of the PSN log in. It doesn't seem to work for me, however.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

15 days is a long time, but is still way less than what the average user spent getting rrod fixed, if it was even warrantied.Te Occidere Possunt Sed Te Edere Non Possunt Nefas Est.Comment

My RROD took less than that. Plus we aren't talking hardware issues. Ask CJ about his Sony hardware issues.Originally posted by camleish View PostComment
