Actually, Sony did ask for this to happen...first they asked for the Anonymous attack by going after graf and geohot, then they asked for the deep attack by calling the Anonymous attacks, "an inconvenience".
Sony can shove their PSN+ and their "free" content...I highly doubt sony is going to give away anything that they have to pay a developer for, so that leaves stuff that is essentially advertising (like the free month of PSN+). I bet they will also be "giving away" free 1-month trials of netflix (the same ones that netflix gives for free anyway).
There is only one thing that I would actually be willing to buy from the PSN, and it isn't released yet. On top of that, I think I would rather give money to terrorists than Sony at this point, and on top of that, I would have to drive to the store and buy a PSN card because there is no way in h**l that I can trust sony with a credit card number...and on top of all that, I still couldn't buy anything on there because the TOS says that Sony can block me from redownloading or even from using content that is already downloaded...so that isn't a purchase or even a lease...it is a rental.
I agree !

I will never trust my personal information with Sony again ! They have been stubborn about online since they implemented the PSN and they are still adamant on selling faulty Playstation consoles !

18 Months ago I held sony in very high regard...sony computer entertainment anyway. Since then, they have done everything I could have imagined to alienate me, and they have even done a few things I never would have dreamed possible. Back then I wouldn't have even considered a 720 as my next console...and now it is either that or a PC...the PS4 won't even be considered. At the moment, the ONLY thing I like about sony is gran turismo 5...and it isn't worth all the things I hate about sony.
If I had to pick one thing that I really hate, it wouldn't be OtherOS removal, banning accounts for CFWs, the geohot lawsuit, or even the lack of security over my confidential information. It is graf...he is as far from the piracy scene as possible; innocent of any wrongdoing whatsoever. Yet, he has had his house raided multiple times and has essentially been muzzled. I had problems with Sony before this, but this was just too much...when they stopped him from expressing himself, they stepped out of the video game/computer realm, and into the realm of government fascism (in Germany no less). Maybe I have just watched the history channel a little bit too much...but when the Japanese and Germans get together and start sending shock troops into the homes of innocent civilians, I get the feeling that worse things are on the horizon.

@ everyone, before the thread gets shut down completely due to a flame war... dont take things so personally, to be honest im finding it strange that most of the people jumpin in to defend sonys part are mostly all Unverified new user's...
Keep it clean people and consider this, detached from what caused the hack or the hack its self, sonys days of silence before disclosure was unacceptable and caused massive financial impact..
PSN is back and now its seen as a war of damage limitation, people will soon lose interest and look to other things. But it will take a long long time to change public's perception of them back to where it was before all this....
and for sony, if its really true (and its looking very very much like it is) that the cc numbers have been sold, this is far from the end of it, im pretty sure that across the world they will see swarms of legal cases... its the cost of this that immediately is going to hurt the most financially.

Glad to hear that PSN will be back up again soon. It will be nice to eventually know the extent of data that was stolen from Sony and its consumers.

Agreed. It'd be nice to know how soon as well.

thats just like saying that anyone that has had a crime committed against them was asking for it. a crime was committed. no if's and's or but's about it. sony is a victim because it was sony's data that was stolen. yes it may have been your info but you gave it to sony of your own free will. you can say you had to so you could play online but you had a choice to buy the ps3 and to play online. its that simple. sony and everyone that gave them info is a victim. if a crime was not committed then the info would have not gotten out. a crime is what the law of the land says is a crime and by that i mean the courts. courts have the finale say about the law. if the courts back sony up then they did nothing wrong. if the courts say they did do something wrong then sony should pay but not by haveing a crime committed against them. are we really playing two wrongs make a right? we also dont know what sony put in place to safe gaurd are info. its not like this has only happend to sony. as i have said before a lock only keeps an honest person honest.

sony treated a couple of hackers like dogs and got bitten by bigger hackers.the hackers responsible might not even distribute the data/info they stole.they might not even run up credit card charges on other peoples credit cards.they set out to ruin sonys reputation and they have.
as for locks if someone says there lock cant be picked or undone without a key i will try and might even unlock it without a key.I wont rob them or steal there stuff i will just undo the lock to show them how easy it is and that they need to improve security so someone with more experience doesnt rob them (might of been what the hackers did).
as for the courts they dont always do whats right.the law and the justice system isnt always fair either.
