    You have to understand. Hackers were not interested in it. It wasn't hacked because the hackers had what they wanted, linux. The time the hackers started on it was around the time Sony removed OtherOS. If you count from that time, to the time it was hacked it was only 6 months. As opposed to the 12 Xbox 360 lasted. The PS3, at first glance, looked secure. That is why people said it was the most secure. But with minimal inspection of the console to everyone's surprise you could recover the private keys with a simple math equation because it was improper implementation of cryptographic algorithms. It was a mixture of incompetence and pissed off linux users that lead to Sonys demise.

I understand that Sony produces micro-chips that may be contained within some products, and I can't open every single item I buy, and make sure that every single component inside is not a Sony chip, but I will not buy anything with the Sony name on it, nor will I buy anything that is owned by Sony. However, before I buy a cell phone, TV, or any other big electronic purchase, I always make sure it is completely Sony free. I have done this for many years, and I will continue to do so until I die.
    At least their TV is fine, the hackers can't hack your Sony's TV :D

    It's a matter of principle against their business practices and lawsuits that I won't buy their products, but anyway, here's the next exciting article on them:
    http://www.dailytech.com/Sony+Loses+...ticle21725.htm

    Poor, poor Sony, I weep for you.

    You'll notice too, that with all these "attacks" that they are just showing Sony to be a joke and they don't actually steal anything, even though they could. Just remember that. Sony is lucky that they are just being embarrassed by all of this, it could be way worse than it is.

    The humiliation of Sony's security is proof that the online world is still very much like the Wild West. If you anger one person enough, you may need protection; but if you anger the masses, half-baked protection outfits may not be good enough
    Thanks to the "hackers" we now know how bad PSN was. I will never trust SONY again.
    I feel bad for the customers.

    The good news is... Final Fantasy Versus XIII No Longer PS3 Only.

    He said it was possible, but it is not confirmed if it will go to 360. They brought this up with FF13 when they said they barely got the game on 3 discs while not cutting anything out of it.

    Square-Enix does not have a problem with multiple discs, but they also don't want to have TOO many. They do not want to cut content. From what I have seen the PS3 version of Versus could well barely fit on the disc.

    They always want both versions to be equal. It just comes down to if it will work out or not. One thing Microsoft needs to do is have bigger sized DVDs for the 360. Square already said they do not want to cut content because they want to be fair.

    Versus would sell alright on 360, but they need to look at the very best way to get there because they refuse to cut anything out

If it is, I say good riddance.
    You do have a good point there. What I see happening is SONY shutting down their game division and sticking to multimedia. I think moviebob said it best when describing how the current generation of gaming is in trouble in Game OverThinker v11:

    "And then the final variable. SONY and Microsoft, two thirds of the total game companies, aren't even really game companies. They're massive multinational corporate empires with comparatively small video game divisions. Meaning that, if what I just described were to happen (and it will) they'd have no good financial reason to try and keep those divisions around the MINUTE they become prohibitively unprofitable." (I love that guy...)

    Huh. I had no idea. I had always figured it was being attempted from the get-go. Show's how far out of the loop I am...
