Im sure if you own a Playstation you probably know about the Playstation network being hacked about a week ago. Nobody can sign in and play any of their games online. Let alone all of our personal information and passwords have been stolen. Supposedly Sony announced that when the network re-launches every member of the network will get a free month of Playstation Plus ($12 value I believe?) In my opinion its a slap in the face to every Sony customer. Would love to hear others thoughts on this..

My view is go out and play, tired of seeing empty streets and parks only occupied by high school drop outs, all because kids now sit at home watching TV and plaing the computer all day long.

That sucks big time, a friend just told about this today. He also had a account there. Now the big problem is that the people could loss all of their money from their cards. I personally thing those video games are in general a waste ot time, i preffer poker a lot more than a game from playstation or a pc computer game. Sony isn't a top electronic producer company as it used to be in the past. Their mobile phones broke a lot faster compared the other models, thats why they also loss value so fast compared to other phones on the market. The only quality product they have is the Sony Vaio laptop, i really like those and they are quality laptops. Other than that i wouldn't recommend any other sony product.
Never had this problem with my 360 i don't mind paying 40 dollars a year for the server they use plus it microsoft 360 and PS3 are just computers so i put my money on the computer company. Come to think of it i bet old Bill Gates has some part in this. I can only imagine the CoD addicts fending like crack head shaking in the corner. Speaking of which i just got donk by another poker Nazi(a player that has to be the raiser no matter wat they have) think im gonna go shoot something in the head.

Posted by GIOMi6: Well that is very bad news for the online players, I usually play online with my pc on Battle.net, because I like strategic games very much.

That's the truth! I make my children go outside and and do something physical and construstive every other day. I don't care if it's walking the dogs, mowing the lawn or playing basketball. This crap of sitting in front of a TV, PC or playing PS/X-box, etc. is making the generations to come overweight, lazy and thinking their parents have to raise them until their 26 - 30 instead of wanting to work. Oh well, enough! Good Luck to All! Sorry about skewing from topic!

You are right Mober, playstation games really exploded lately, i think just the third generation of their console, playstation 3 allowed users to play online betwwen them. Frankly it's hard to think why people like playstation that much considering all games you can play on playstation online or not there are also availabloe on all pc platforms. The difference is of course than on your pc you can do all type of work, not just playing games. On the other hand i agree 100% with greenmohave's post, thats absolutely true, the kids that were born on the 90's are all overweighted. Of course their diet is very important for them but they only eat junk food like chips, soda, hamburgers and so on. The second problem is sedentarism and these type of useless playstation games make them lose hours in front of the tv/pc. Unfortunately i did sport since i was young, so i start my day with a mile run, instead of opening the tv or pc and watch it for a hour. I'm glad i don't like any pc or playstation games, i only play online poker.

LOL they could offer all games for free i'm not sure how a normal person could get there again and register with his personal details, and even worse to make a payment using their credit cards. Again we see why it's best to always use e-wallets when making a payment and not your personal bank account or your personal visa or mastercard. A good friend of mine plays a lot on these games station, like playstation but i know he also has another one. He also used a mastercard in order to buy something from them but so far he still has the money on his mastercard, but since after the playstation database was hacked he only keeps minimum money on that credit card. He also got a visa card now. Didn't asked him if he'll ever play again but i'm sure he will, he is too addicted...
