Are you saying the system is back now?
I haven't checked because we got an XBox, and I've been playing CoD on it ever since.

shut it you egg!
Yes, PSN is back up and online, had a quick burst on NFS/HP last night, was rubbish, lack of practise....

That's good news. I don't really like the XBox controller. After all the years of ps3, I'm sort of used to it.

you're advised to do a system update (3.61 i think?) and then the password change is pretty smooth really.
If you've not played it then inFamous is well worth a go and will set you up nicely for part 2 which is coming out soon.

So what would you have considered 'fair' compensation?, personally I don't think its too bad considering the PSN is a free service afterall.

They are also giving a year's free identity protection programme for those affected.
e2a: well that is soe, not sure about psn
e2aa: actually, it looks like it applies to any customer who had details lifted.

Nope, not me.
But then to be honest the only reason I don't bother with an Xbox is due to the fact that controllers feel like i've got a small tug boat in my hands, they're massive in comparision.....that and that they charge to use Xbox live, oh & brand loyalty of course!

The Playstation store seems to be offline - how can I get my free games? Anyone managed to access them yet?

Think the store is still unavailable globally, unless i'm mistaken, I heard it was due to be back up again by the 31st.

fucking awesome but wrong
unlikely as they have had a significant number of other sites hacked to fuckery too. Both the german and spainish sites were killed off over the weekend...
Basically, at the present time it looks like sony are not able to maintain any decent safe web presence and seem to be fire fighting all over the shop...
I'm beginning to think this must have been lead by a rival company to kill off their network really...

Fuck you Dave!
Password page may not be available due to a new hack... Genius Sony!
We have updated to version 3.61, Mr. QofG's was able to change his password but because I have never activated my account from the email address I am using (due to previous PS3 fuckwittery and hacking of my account) I keep being told I have to do it via a website which seems to be constantly being updated

restoration package to be provided which will supposedly include 2 free games and some additional free trials of services.
However if like me and many other PSNplus members you were cut off for 2 months of a 12 month contract and are also beta testers then we get Sweet FA...
Thanks sony... really thanks...

you wanna learn to read son?
the hack was on sonypictures.com not psn as I said hence it's not another hack on psn therefore the clarification after the previous sony have been hacked again comments was clearly indicating it was nothing to worry about...
free games we all already have and don't get a choice in....
FFS.....
they'd have been more sensible to put £100 in each user account and £150 for each psnplus account wallet as this would have allowed people to download whatever games they wanted and they'd have been able to mark down the amounts from the wallets as pre tax losses which they'd then get back as profit when it was eventually spent again in the store.
But giving away 2 and 3 year old games and an additional 60 days isn't compensation. It's another sign of contempt for the users.
souljacker
innit
I managed to get on to the store last night, then it hung for ages and then kicked me out of PSN completely. I wanna play Wipeout!
Anyone know what Infamous and Dead Nation are like?
