Thank fuck Obama plays COD on the 360…

[Rman]

So annoying.  Now I have update my auto billing stuff. 

[Eel O'Brian]

yeah, if you use a check or debit card and it is stolen it's nearly impossible to get your money back, fuck those resistance dudes

[demi]

or

[MCD]

Where can I add my Credit Card here...

[MyNameIsMethodis]

demi if you do that I will live this place because it wil lofficially be teamxbox

[brob]

[MoxManiac]

Shit, PSN has my main debit/check card on file.   Maybe i should cancel it, it expires next month and i'll be getting a new one anyways.

[Van Cruncheon]

tell james x stevenson that a) he's a 'mo; b) the only thing MORE annoying than canceling your card is disputing charges; and c) he's a 'mo.

thumbs SUPER up

[MyNameIsMethodis]

[Van Cruncheon]

feelbad: we totes need to do a dramatic reading of the best of sony apologism on the podcast

[Van Cruncheon]

no matter waht this still isn't nearly as bad as RROD

or the holocaust, either

[MyNameIsMethodis]

have i ever been featured in a borecast

[Van Cruncheon]

I agree, RROD kept me from playing games I wanted to play, while this just necessitated a phone call.

yup. i'd be pretty pissed if i ever played games on my ps3

[Van Cruncheon]

have i ever been featured in a borecast

you specifically, or someone like you? because i often act a bit of a trollish boor

[The Sceneman]

How is this any different then the time XBL was compromised and credit card were stolen? 

The difference is this is real and that was in your imagination. Fucking dumbass.

then how come my credit card was stolen the same week xbox live went down for a week in 2007 and ended up being used in a mcdonalds in texas, where the xbox live data centers are 

you need to get better at lying, McD's dont accept credit

[Mr. Gundam]

Just got off the phone with American Express, I'll have a new card by Thursday at the latest.

[Rman]

jsteveson is a pretty good guy, but that being said, his comment was incredibly distinguished mentally-challenged.

[Cindi Mayweather]

fixed because i can't stand the bg behind nick

[Eel O'Brian]

feelbad: we totes need to do a dramatic reading of the best of sony apologism on the podcast

YES YES YES

[MyNameIsMethodis]

i havent turned my ps3 on since the hacks first came out anyways so 

[Stoney Mason]

On a sales basis this won't have any long term effects. In other words Sony will still continue to do well in other parts of the world and be steadily in third place in the US.

I just liking kicking Sony fans because they tend to be an annoying fan base and events like this tend to show why.

sony just put up a faq

[Shaka Khan]

Where's the jstevenson comment everyone is referring to? (I hope you're not confusing that idiot MrPliskin, who brobozoid linked to, with him)

Oh and:

[MyNameIsMethodis]

wheres the microsoft version of that

"you dont get to 80 million users without having 50 million broken consoles"

[Bebpo]

I don't even play games online but this sucks

[Bebpo]

wheres the microsoft version of that

"you dont get to 80 million users without having 50 million broken consoles"

I'd rather have my console break and cost me $300 to replace than have my identity/cc stolen and be out in the thousands if misused.

Oh that comment is definitely derpy.

[Stoney Mason]

This doesn't really have anything to do with playing games online. It's more related to digital distribution and sony security. The credit card info is there to purchase movies, music, games, psn, etc.

Online gaming being shut down is just a by-product of the security breach.

My Xbox360 also didn't break.

[Rman]

"When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are back on line, we also strongly recommend that you log on to change your password."

What?!  They're not auto resetting them or requiring you to reset them via email verification?  Jesus, is Sony run by distinguished mentally-challenged fellows?

That is such a nasty fucking slur against distinguished mentally-challenged fellows. C'mon, man.

[chronovore]

wow, this is a first. I just booted up my Xbox and it says my profile is invalid and I have to recover my gtag. I had recovered it at my dad's where I was house sitting and I've come home to my crusty old shitbox and I get this.

I'm totally fine with this 30 minute process, as I should be doing homework anyway. Thanks MS for putting me on the right track.

Get a USB stick and keep your profile on it.

If you use "Recover," you are risking losing compatibility with your existing save data files. When you "recover" your Gamertag, the system has to know how to consider the new file valid and invalidates the old one. This ostensibly prevents multiple people from using the same GamerTag simultaneously, though in theory you could have someone maintain the original GamerTag and just play offline consistently.

Anyway, hope there weren't too many games with incomplete progress on your profile.

I just love how that sentence perfectly encapsulates the clusterfuck.

"There has been a serious security breech and you should change your password immediately. But you can't."

[cool breeze]

Does anyone know if credit card info would still be available from past purchases?

I've since taken info out of there, but I'm still curious if I should be worried.  FKING SONY VICTIMIZING ME.

[chronovore]

They do in the US.

[naff]

Wow. This is amazing I lost my old cc that's on PSN a few weeks back so I'm all good +1 for the new banner

"When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are back on line, we also strongly recommend that you log on to change your password."

What?!  They're not auto resetting them or requiring you to reset them via email verification?  Jesus, is Sony run by distinguished mentally-challenged fellows?

To be fair if the details have been leaked already and the service isn't online there's absolutely 0 point in resetting your password. It's other things you use with the same password you should be worried about.

[naff]

My bet is nothing will ever happen with the details they stole, and the outcome they wanted from their intrusion is in full swing.
