The Old Sony Megathread

[Baddar]

LOVEFiLM is shit on the PS3, anyway, to be fair.

[Herr Matzat]

The company took SOE servers offline after learning of the attack last evening, and today detailed the unfortunate results: "approximately 12,700 non-US credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes), and about 10,700 direct debit records of certain customers in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain" were lost, apparently from "an outdated database from 2007." Of the 12,700 total, 4,300 are alleged to be from Japan, while the remainder come from the aforementioned four European countries.

never heard of lovefilm.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, if it's any consolation, Netflix still works perfectly. ^_^

Heavy Rain is awesome. It really blows away Indigo Prophecy, which I think was made by the same people.

[TCO]

I liked Fahrenheit, it started off good but then it got all weird with it's overly complicated supernatural storyine. It did some things right though and most of those were carried over into Heavy Rain.

[Summers]

Fahrenheit was awesome. I well loved it. It did get stupidly complicated, but it was wicked. I haven't played Heavy Rain, it's hugely on my to play list.

[apsham]

Fahreheit only got stupid near the end, and that was because they were rushed and hack to tack on the shitty ending.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, I loved Indigo Prophecy up until the end. I'm terrified Heavy Rain's ending is going to let me down, too.

[apsham]

I thought I was doing fuckin' awesome in Heavy Rain and then ended up getting the worst ending possible.. I think. Oh well, aha.

Heavy Rain's Ending is definitely not a disappointment. Depending on how much or how little you've heard about it (LL :@) it will be a massive shock.

Same! I fucked up pretty bad near the end.

[Baddar]

I also had the shitty end of the stick when it comes to endings.

The DLC was awesome for heavy rain too.

I just put down 20 bucks on La Noire, Hunted the Demons Forge and InFamous 2.

god what a great year for games.

[Benji]

I rarely care about the PSN. Closest thing I've ever really bothered about it on a big level for was Red Dead. Now I want to download all the DLC for Dragon Age and, of course, it's still down Typical.

[Herr Matzat]

Lot´s of fun ccomming up. Sony getting sued in/by (?) canada and now blaming Anonymous for the hacking.

After having the same e-mail address since 1999, my account has been hacked. It's the same e-mail I use for PSN. Wonder if that's a coincidence.

[TheBoss]

So the PSN is still down for everybody?

[Baddar]

Yep.

[Kaney]

Works for me.
