SOE takes servers offline thanks to “intrusion”

And one.

New page.

Oh and if you call Sony in the USA to ask questions, Ask for a Specialist, or you will get some of the most ignorant people in a Call Center I have ever seen!!

Here is Sony’s Customer Service Number in the USA for those who don’t have it:

@OG
I agree. I dont get upset with TEA really because he is predictable.
He is my friend so i know what to expect from him and although he can be very rude with his points, he does make SOMe valid ones and i learn from them. Same as your posts (not being rude most of the time) can be extremely biased but i too learn from those.
Reask handled himself well i believe. Good head on his shoulders.

Again OG….you should expect TEAs responses to be what they are before he actually makes them. I think thats what makes TEA great actually…He balances out the comments from the so called “Enlightened” ones. Thats the reason i left. Too many arrogant self procclaimed “enlightened/intellectual” posters running around here shittin on the little people.

I apologise if i made any offense to you sir. I was angry and typed with frustrated fingers.

But yes. Sony and the hackors are both to blame but not equally. Sony as a big corporation with billions of dollars invested in them by customers should take more precautions in protecting their customers. Hackors though, should never do shit like this. The hackors are the main people to blame. If there were no hackers, this wouldnt have ever happened. They perade aroun acting like they fight for the people when all they did was the opposite.

@LEX
absolutely agree. I know you, and know your character. You are exactly who you describe yourself to be and i know this by knowing you on a personal level.
And i agree with what you said about TEA as well.
And i also agree that as friends, if we say something out of line or something the other doesnt agree with, we should speak our mind to each other and point it out. No hand jobs

O.G. said: “The problem isn’t you reask. You didn’t do anything wrong and didn’t do anything to warrent that lashing from Tea”.

“My advice ignore him”.

Ok lets make this clear I didn’t lash out at Reask. The fact of the matter is if I didn’t respect the guy I wouldn’t have bothered to even reply to his comments (same as you). I think O’Conner is starting to rub off on you O.G. Its no secret everyone knows you prefer XBOX over PlayStation and I know most people here can see right through your bias BS just like me so your feeble attempts to come in here and do damage control are meaningless to half the community off the bat. The difference between me and them though is that they sit back and let you run your mouth but I’m gonna put you in your place every time.

O.G. said: “I have often enjoyed reading his posts. I have long thought he brought some splash of color to this site. Sure he sometimes got carried away. It was fun(even funny), I thought. Maybe to some it still is”.

“But to me it has grown old”.

“The reason really boils down to not the opinions but the fanboyism. Its almost venomious”.

Well thank you I appreciate the kind thoughts about me but I’m not about fanboyism I’m about speaking the truth and I have never (to my knowledge) ever lied when it came to discussing this industry companies and how I felt about their actions. For example the Blizzard 2 min 20 year anniversary thank you video article that was published 3 months ago. Thats what I do I speak my mind and I don’t care who likes it as long as people can relate and see where I’m coming from. I’ve shot down SONY and Kaz many times just like I have M$. Simple as that.

O.G. said: “This site has a collection of gamers that are banding together(lex, Tea, spider, etc) and bashing anyone that points out the obvious(that being the PSN outages are bad.) When a site forms a gang of posters bent on slanting articles, beraiting the staff, and attacking fellow posters, the site becomes a place where you really can’t freely and activly participate”.

“Its fanboy shit at its core and at its worst”.

Oh thats funny Lets make a list of the people who are going around in a gang scaring people like the U.S.A. with its War on Terror fear mongering tactics.

Garratt – Glen Beck
Oldergamer – Camera Man
Mike Bowden – Producer aka hype man
Hunam – fellow ignorant xbot intern 1
O’Conner – make up boy….gotta lick Garratt’s ass clean before showtime
The Wulf – dumb ignorant audience member 1
ManuOtaku – Brain washed fool sitting at home believing this BS
Frank17 – dumb ignorant audience member 2
G1GAHURTZ – here just for the free troll food
Psychotext – behind the scenes conspirator news submitter
MushroomStamp – dumb hateful xbot troll looking to cause mischief
InfamousValdon – some random retard who hates SONY loves M$
Benjo1981 – fellow ignorant xbot intern 2
Erthazus – some pissed off 12 yr old who still wets the bed
fucksony – disgruntle ex SONY employee gone rogue and now loves M$

Welcome to the VG247 show Ladies and Gentlemen! They’re not a gang they’re a cast of righteous unbiased gamers who use their PS3′s everyday gaming online and frequently used the other OS feature before SONY took it out. They’ve never once showed any hate toward SONY in anyway right?

WRONG!

I love how blind you are to your own actions or those who bash SONY out of pure ignorance too but cry like a little bitch when someone defends SONY.

Its your own ignorance at its best.

O.G. said: “There is zero way to paint the PSN issues as a positive. There is very good cause for account holders to be concerned. Sony had lacking security. Sony mishandled getting info to the general public. Those amoung other things are simple facts”.

“Some posters here are jumping all over other posters for calling a spade a spade”.

Yea simple facts your simple minded ass would have never known unless “HACKERS” infiltrated PSN. If you’re so damn concerned then why didn’t you investigate these dooming issues the past 5 years PlayStation 3 were on the market and 3 of those years being without pre paid cards Mr. I payed $700 for my launch PS3. You openly admit you didn’t even use your PS3 within the 1st year of having it hence when you found out it was defective from the get go you got another but had already made XBOX360 your primary console.

You expect any of us to believe you took your credit card info and bought something from PSN?! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How dumb do you think we are?! Oh but wait it wasn’t you it was your friends who did on PS3…..but clearly I remember you telling us you had no friends on your PSN list and thats the reason you don’t use it and stick with LIVE cause all your friends are over there.

You wanna call a spade a spade well I’m calling you out for the bullshit stirring lying asshole you are.

O.G. said: “The sad fact is that these are just video games. PS3 is just a video game system. Sony just a company trying to make money. No different then Wii. No different then Nintendo. Or xbox360 and Microsoft. Most of us have no loyalty to either any of them. I have a game room full of different systems from different companies”.

There is no sad fact that these are just video games but it is a sad fact when you show utter complete dumbness toward a company that has fucked you over on 4 XBOX360′s and you support them like no tomorrow but refuse to acknowledge PlayStation and SONY’s greatness in this industry. You can have a room full of systems you want but when you refuse to not try or play the console that has the best exclusives and game periods because it has the name SONY on it now thats sad. Thats you!

O.G. said: “If this problem had happened to Microsoft, I (and many of us here, including you reask), would have spoken up and taken the same concern with it as I/we did with Sony and PSN. I am confident that a guy like Tea would have been all over MS if things had been different, yet he praises Sony”.

“Again fanboy shit”.

Apparently you don’t read everything I type or submit you only read what your eyes want to see. As I explained to Reask in my reply to him goes the same toward your foolish statement.

O.G. said: “And at the sametime, Tea, you can sit there and blast other people. For what? Being concerned about their personal info? Feeling violated? Feeling disapointed? Kid, facts are facts. Sony is going to lose some face over this. People are going to be pissed. Imo, they have every right to be”.

“Also, when did it become your job to personialy attack fellow posters and defend Sony”?

Who did I blast?….Reask? LMAO stop trying to play lawyer because you suck at it. The only person’s who are being (acting) are the retards that barely use the PS3 and just want to kick up dirt. If you feel violated then blame the hackers as they are the ones who violated you not SONY. SONY didn’t steal your info you gave it to them free willingly and if you didn’t want to they didn’t force you in any kind of way. So to answer your other stupid question no I’m not disappointed.

Sony is going to lose some face over this huh?….Yea keep dreaming because you and Garratt and G1GAHURTZ are fed up with SONY and you’re not going to buy anymore SONY games…..AWWWWW WAHHHHHHHHH SONY IS DOOMED 4 SHORE!!!1111 Please O.G. have mercy we need you on PSN to make it fun WAAHHHHHHHH.

Also when did it become your job to spew so much negativity about a console you rarely use.

O.G. said: “No one has any problem if you like PS3/Sony. But I have a hella problem with the name calling, poster bashing, and atacking. Esp when it it comes to reask, he is one of the most polite posters here. And the irony is that I saw him online with PS3 far more then I did with LIVE. So your calling him xbot is rather funny, and sad”.

“I won’t be the first one to say it, but grow up. Let is slide and chill. people are going to vent a bit over Sony and its PSN. People vent over the hackers too. People often come here to express their opinions. And they should be able to do that. Even if it differs from your own”.

“And Spider, shame on you. Your better then that”.

Yes it does it bothers you very much because you know you can’t get away with spewing the hatred you have for them because I’ll strike you down every chance and make you look like the ass clown you are spreading your ignorance and misleading ways. Reask is a grown ass man he can defend himself grandpa he doesn’t need help from a senior citizen with a walker. I know Reask has put in some significant time on PSN with KZ3 as well as psychotext with GT5 but they both and forever will be “original XBOTS” of this site. Thats the term I used original as they first came on that way but slowly are making their way to becoming neutral unlike you.

I won’t be the first one to think this but I’ll be the first one to openly say it. You need to go back up there in Sarah Palin country with her cooky ass and just sit in a boat and fish for the rest of your life. Give up video games as a hobby because obviously you can’t keep up in this fast moving industry anymore. How about we all pitch in and get you a gameboy with pinball as a retirement gift and you leave the discussions/debates to the younger gamers.

Geez Tea, you done?

Ok first up I assure you I don’t vote Republican. Why did I grab at that first? Dunno, maybe thats just how much I don’t vote Republican. Not that anything is wrong with that. People can and should vote for whom ever they like.

So much crap in there I honestly can’t get to it all. And even if I did, I doubt many folks would care. I saw you do this to Michael too. You can really get going sometimes. And you won’t stop. So I will.

No one wants to read a post war with two fools calling each other out over stuff most folks don’t care about in the first place.

Last thing I will say is that I do have a PSN account with CC and personal info on it. the fav thing I have bought from PSN is either PSP2(Phantasy Star Potable 2) or Fat Princess. I have also bought Zen Pinball, Warhawk, and a handfull of other PSN games.

As for friends on my PSN ask around this site, more then a few folks here are on my list.

Good day to you.

defending sony after all fuckups = stupid apologist fanboy who like what sony say to like whit no free will. you been treated like bitches stupid fanboy sheep

psn suck. sony suck. ps3 fanboy=idiot.

FACT

wow

@104 You little cunt where the fuck am i in that list?
@106 Get them girl.BEST USERAME EVER
HERP A DERPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

#104 thanks for the description, a brain washed maybe, but iam at work right now so the home part is inaccurate, and yes i believe that sony has a fault in this situation more so than hackers and crackers, that also did play they part on this, but and here comes the big BUT, sony throw the PS3 to the market with the label UNHACKABLE on it, it wasnt me, the users or the hackers and crackers,that said it, did sony really expected this bold statement would not going to cause any consecuences at all?, in my eyes it was sony first mistake, then they also put Other S on it becuase they thought it will sell more, they advertise it for the whole lifecycle of the device, again a big tool for homebrew and piracy purposes, they gave this tool to hackers and crackers, when they saw the mistake (according with their own statements was for money issues), they took it away, also the same can be said with PS2 backwards compatibility for newer models.

When the hack took place,they didnt act they reacted,sony knew the key was out there why they didnt take the necesary actions in order to avoid the damages, why the personal data was not encrypted?, and why they wait for too long to give information to their users at the right time?, for me they are too many mistakes to give the look somewhere else, we need to give a strong statement to sony if we want them to be a great videogame company, and thats what i do want.

Is my strong believe that things like this indicates that sony doesnt care about their consumers, even though we are their primary reason to them for exist, and i am telling you this right now i will be buying the next sony consoles for sure, till the day they dont manufacture this anymore or i die, the same as nintendo , microsoft and i hope sega one day returns, i am a gamer and i want to play the best tittles on every console available, PC does not count of course, even if you think this is a rant or iam brain washed, but that doesnt mean also that i cannott see their bad handle of situations with the consumers/users, and that i cannot state my own opinion because in the end that hurts the industry as well not only sony, we need to make them better the way we can and that is stating our feelings and opinions, and also i do care for videogames and i love to see this industry evolve, back in the day i was afraid to said i was a gamer, because it was a bad thing like an stigma and they gave you the looks , right now is not that way thank god, and some day it will be a better, but we need strong manufactures that show respect for the consumers, but for that we need to criticize the manufactures when they do something wrong in order for that to happen, and that is what iam concerned even if i pass for a brain washed fool.

@106 Yet your name still is a advertisement for sony. Did you know although it says Sony_sucks the first thing you read is SONY. That’s product awareness all in its own. Now if you had your name as Suckit_Sony then the disrespect is regarded first.

And, just so you know some people like to see a product with haters. If its good enough to hate must be worth checking into right?

Also thank you spider I appreciate we understand eachother without the handjobs.lol

110 sheep. dont matter sony is dead now anyway

lol

I love it when you talk dirty @112

then netflix stop workin on me ….i agree 118….its sad…all i really wanted to do was get bacc to normal…

y they keep lyin to people that buy their games

schizo?

That KL sure is a what one would call ‘chippy’ indeed. Not surprising I mistook that one for biggest resident troll of 2009, The Shatner.

Truly a mental patient.

Just a couple of days ago, she tried masquerading her pathetic agenda by ‘defending’ lexphare. lol. Lex will take care of himself, besides you nutcase don’t really know either him nor me, and I ‘ve talked to the user longer than you were on this site.

Even though my conversation with the aforementioned Lex ended, and without any conflict too, the nutcase proceeded to create an account of ‘DuhMan’, to demonstrate her stupidity. She ‘s now basically trying to provoke me, as well as probably thinks she’s being funny.

Ironic for someone who claimed that she was defending lex from bullying. The simple truth is that lex is on Sony’s side, at least he does prefer their gadget.

I have to apologize to all the idiots on the internet whom I called stupid. You’ve taken that to a whole new level. The irony was redefined as well.

Originally, the nutjob was deeply offended when i once called her an ‘angsty consumer’ when they tried speculating about innovations in hardware despite knowing jackshit about anything, and started inane bickering. Then she really got an OCD, and began lurking on this website changing her account from “Psychotech’ to ‘KL”.

Welcome to the internet. To be honest, I’m not sure why you’re using it. Think about that

Top satire.

I once saw her appearing just to state how user Gadzooks was ‘owned ‘ and ‘served’ by another poster. Yes, she lurks for months, and comes out at moments like that. In fact, *every* single time they appeared was either some ‘flaimbait’ article or users bickering.

Another illustrating example of her little whiny insecure cuntish psyche was when Michael O’Connor criticized MGS for having sloppy storytelling. Instead of actually giving reasons as to why the storytelling isn’t bad, the subject proceeded with angsty rants and empty pseudo stealth insults.

You can hardly speak for yourself, KL. Let alone someone else.

The problem with the silly little woman is that she’s an angsty fanboy of everything Sony related and sadly never can argue her point properly. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about, and she can’t validate anything. She found out about proper storytelling when MoC commented on MGS

Another amusing example was when she asked if people criticizing teenage level stories would probably laugh at childish ones. Not only you’re retarded, but shallow as well. No, they wouldn’t laugh. Teen stories are cringe worthy, childish ones are amusing in their naivety.

Thus we have a hypocritical, silly, shallow twat trolling because that is ultimately all she is able to do.

Anyway. Watching someone getting OCD over internet users dissing leisure gadgets is amazing.

I’ll tell you something. You probably haven’t figured that out . In fact, not only it is amazingly decent comedy material, but a good playground to practice foreign language skills. Keep it up, warrior. Unlike you, this is far from my native tongue, so I do need practice. Please do continue to play the role of a sad cunt, I need to have everything covered.

tl;dr version : Psychotech aka KL, you should perhaps go and give head to your boyfroend. In case of their absence (wouldn’t surprise me if it’s permanent), consider diazepam. lulz.

It’s not about me being an ass, I only do this selectively to those who act like morons. It’s about you stupid piece of shit who warrants all this. So tough luck, you’re still a consuming tool. Do try harder.

Aw schucks Daman thinks I’m a big boy lol

I wonder if the crazy bitch runs around in the streets defending one guy against the other when they call each other names. Probably would, if Sony was involved. lol.

I’m on the TEA list. Freakin amazing YES! Successfull troll is successfull.

Tea, you’re a know nothing asshole that parades to have a shred of knowledge when you don’t. You don’t understand shit except what you read from one site to another.

Your a hateful bitter douchebag that is hell bent on ruining this site for potential new posters. For instance I used to come to this site 10x a day, now I have come maybe 5 times this entire year. Low and behold what do I see, but you making comments about me and others without ANY provocation.

I have more technical knowledge in my left nut than your whole being. I’ve been doing IT professionally for 20+ years and track record proving my worth. Your some snot nosed punk that doesn’t really have knowledge of his own.

To take one of your philosophies of not letting people “get away with it” and must call them out. You call me a troll when I have never been a troll I merely defend the xbox from all the juvenile PS3 fanboys. yes I have a PS3 also, but I don’t feel the need to blast other. I generally chime in defense from arrogant bashing that you and other present.

It’s all a matter of perspective. you see yourself as some hero, here to save everyone from their wrong opinions based your so called facts.

Your a soulless douche who contributes nothing to society or gaming.

You have ruined this site for many people with no justifcation other than you think your godlike views are the definition of life.

your just a pathetic loser.
