PSN OUTAGE THREAD > Seems someone wiped the psn backups

Metacritic says decent.
Pursuit Force: 75 http://www.metacritic.com/game/psp/pursuit-force
Pursuit Force 2: 73 http://www.metacritic.com/game/psp/pursuit-force-extreme-justice

I never played the first but did play the second one and enjoyed it a lot.

 

There are a lots mission with chasing cars ?

 

That is pretty much the entire game and what they are good at.
The on foot stuff sucks anyways.

The studio who made it did Motorstorm PSP and is sub company to Evolution Studios (makers of motorstorm ps3).

First details of the European fraud protection scheme have been posted.

you`ve got to be kidding me..is this true (don't have a PS3)

 

Yes, it has been hacked again. Makes me wonder, because changing your password involves receiving a link by email to change it. Even when the PSN hackers have loads of information about PSN users, they don't have email access.
It would mean they are able to generate the token needed to get the correct link...

I guess Sony will have a lot of job openings soon...

 

Oh the drama everybody made about this "second hack"
The thing is they havn't been hacked for a second time, not even close to that.

The only thing that happened is a vulnerability was found during the password reset.. let's say somebody found a trick to reset other people's psn account (if email/date of birth was known) that's it.

Which off course if you are a person that likes to spam the world with all your info on all social media sites including your psn user/email etc is a serious thread, other than that the worst that could happen is that your buddy's that know your info reset your password for fun.

Clearly stupid and naive on Sony's side to go online like this, it's not as if they have a reputation to save huh? seeing as the media tried to pull the SONY HACKED AGAIN OMFG! which was expected and so as usual make a big deal about nothing much.

These are the guys that found the vulnerability:

This "second hack" BS reeks of the people who found the trick trying to get some free publicity for something that ultimately amounts to nothing.

 

Thanks for the link. Love Neogaf discussions and animated gifs! :lol:

 

I'm hearing rumours that the new update causes YLOD?

 

It's based on LA Noir but it has now come out that the game it self is causing crashing/lock ups on both PS3 & 360 units.

So I wouldn't draw any conclusions out of those rumors at the moment.

 

I fed up to wait the psn store !!!
i want the free psp games !

 

Ouch. How do things like that pass beta testing? Surely if its so widespread beta testers would have picked up on it.

I've been looking forward to LA Noire for a few years now. First saw it back on GTA4.tv when it was still that. Hope it gets a PC release.

 

I'm more than half-way through LA Noire and haven't run into a lockup, except they never expected for PSN Store to go down, so if you try and visit it the console will kind of lock up.

 

That's right, it's not even a hack. Many sites have this same problem.

The media just likes to milk out everything they can.

 

Well apparently, it's not up in Japan because the credit card companies want Sony to give them details on their new security system.

Stuff the CCC's. Why should they be given details on the security system, so one of their employees can tell other people? I don't believe it's any other companies right to know how information is stored by another comp.

 

Not just the card companies but also the government it seems.

Also from what I've read online (don't take this as the truth at all), it seems credit card companies in japan are on the hook if fraudulent charges are made to a card vs in other countries I guess it's protected by insurance.

 

Sony = Not Winning

So, is the PSN store still out everywhere, or is it just me? It's ridiculous that the network has been back on for this long and the store is still down. Why did they tease us with those free games and then not give us the means to download them?
