K-Mart price match.

You shouldn't care, you probably have enjoyed every second of the game (I mean this in a positive way). It's likely worth the money, whether at $59.99, or $34.99. Such is the cycle of sales, and on a good game, it just makes it that much sweeter.

It could be worse. They could be giving out Undertow.

Your points are valid, I just see it very one-sided due to the fact I don't need the cloud storage and I have 0 friends that play games (sad).

I hope so. Well, I take that back. PS+ is pretty worthless (sorry to you PS+ fans).

So we get Playstation+, but the store won't be back up.

No, they just aren't sending in 10 cases of a title to your local game store like they do everything else. They're going to cut it back to 9 cases.

"One way pipe cleaner".

While we both know they won't do that, I do think the next go-around will be a little more user friendly. They know they alienated their customer base, but they have no idea (and probably never will know) why they were hacked.

Just let me know when it's back up again. I've had a Final Fantasy VIII itch that I need to scratch, and I can't download it right now.

Out of respect for the writers, viewers, and commentators on this site, I'm going to avoid saying anything negative to you. However, you should realize that this is a gaming blog, but that doesn't mean every single article has to be about games. These are real people, real authors that have experiences and want to…

I err on the side of optimism here.

Awesome.

They could have (unethically) avoided telling everyone what happened, but they didn't. If I recall, a breach at a US retailer occurred, and it took awhile for the public to be notified. And that involved SSN's for their store card. Sony 'manned up' so-to-speak.

Fix (or encrypt) their database tables. They can't fix your address, email, etc.

It's unlikely that the 'intruder' made his/her way into Sony's database to simply look at the tables available or to say that they did it just to do it. Odds are the info was backed up remotely.

Being sued is of marginal concern right now to them. They have one guy in California who is waiting to be awarded class action status, and millions of people who want to know that their information going forward will be safe.
