Does the data breach change the way you will use your PS3 now?

Also, how does their "Welcone Back" pakage sit with you? Is it a nice enough gesture to eliviate some of the headache if you had any?

For me personaly, before this happened I was considering getting most multiplatform on 360 from now on anyway because I was tired of slightly worse ports, so this breach didnt effect

my any decisions in that regard, because I kinda came to it before this happened. However, since I still will game on PS3 for exclusives and games that are better on it, I do have a vested interest in how all this turns out. As to wether this has shooken my confidence in SONY as a platform holder. Honestly, im a little 50/50 on it. It makes me wary that they maybe arent quite up to snuff when ti comes to having a online network, we also have to consider that this is the first real gen that SONY has had a compelling onlien network. Growing pains are too be expected. However, I still am a fan of the console and the company so ill continue to buy their products, but like I said itll be mostly for Exclusives and multiplatform thats better on it for reasons that have nothing to do with the data breach.    

No.

Shit happens.  People panic like idiots.

i will just stockpile up PSN gift cards instead of using credit card.

" No.Shit happens.  People panic like idiots. "

I never use a CC when it comes to XBL or PSN, so not too much has changed for me.  I'll continue to use PSN Cards to make purchases online.

Nah. I use my PS3 as a Bluray player, so I'll kinda still be using it regardless. The security breach actually makes me feel more secure with PSN in the future, because you know people are gonna be breathing down their necks for a long time to come. 

SONY

Won't change anything for me. I never used my credit card with my PS3 (I always bought PSN cards), and I haven't been playing anything online anyways (I've been playing through some RPGs recently). The care package is nice (now my PS+ subscription won't run out until next June). It sucks that this happened, but hopefully everything will turn out ok in the end.

" @PrivateIronTFU: Not telling you what to do, but there are alot of rather good Exclusives on PS3. Even if you game multiplatform on 360, you should give the exclusvies a go. "

@PrivateIronTFU:

lol, cool. I was gonna say..

Anyway, yeah, I agree that their Exclusives are usualy alot better, but I just wished they handled the multiplatform better. Its too the point where most probaly wont notice, but I kinda do.
Come to think of it, thats very similar to how I did my gaming last gen. PS2 was the Exclsuvie beat and XBOX was the Multiplatform workhorse.

My PS3 had a YLOD just before the outtage, so now apparently according to this psn thing cause my ps3 broke, i just lost my PSN account and everything i bought on it. :|

@phonicpod:

damn dude, that sucks.

"Conversely, I'm kinds pissed that I can't seem to remove my card information from XBOX Live's database, though. "

 “As an added layer of security, that password can only be changed on the same PS3 in which that account was activated”

   

Because my ps3 is dead, i can't ever change my password, therefore never be able to login on PSN account again, even if i buy a new one or send it off for repair (as they  just send back refurbs)

I guess i won't be using a PS3 at all.. which really sucks.

Not going to put my CC information on my account and will use PSN cards/Amazon to purchase stuff.  If anything, I hope a drop in the number of CC# they have in their database will show that while users are still willing to use PSN, that "consumer trust" is on thin ice.

Nope! I'll be buying Might and Magic Clash of Heroes and Outland as soon as the PSN Store comes back online.

Nope, I buy stuff from the Playstation Store so rarely that I usually just get points cards to make the purchases. 

I'll remove my CC information.

Nope. All the info will still be there. Just gonna change the pw as it's mandatory and get back into ssf4 :) 

no, it happens sometimes. nothing changed about anything really.

" No.Shit happens.  People panic like idiots. "

I'm not going to treat the way I use PSN any differently. Things happen and you have to deal with them and not using the service isn't going to change that fact.

" No.Shit happens.  People panic like idiots. "

We should think of this as a road to a better service, i mean because of this sony are beefing up their security, which will benefit the users in the long run. i honestly feel that after a couple of months people will have forgotten and continue doing what they had been previously

I won't be storing any sensitive data on my PS3 any more, I'll use the prepaid cards if I need to buy anything.

Not really but I'll consider using psn cards over credit cards. But then again, since they had this crazy breach, they'll probably have the craziest security infrastructure from now on, so maybe it doesn't matter.

Nope. I was planing to switch to using PSN cards from GameStop because I was never able to update my PSN with my newer debit card because of an error. Maybe Sony was trying to tell me that I'm too damn broke to buy more games, or the card just wasn't activated yet.

In any case, bullet dodged.

I honestly don't care at all about any of this.  My details get used, I cancel my card and have my money sent back to me.  Simples really.  I have actually been enjoying playing Halo: Reach the last couple of weeks so it's all gravy as far as I am concerned.

Probably not....

It's not likely to happen again but I think a lot of people lost their trust for Sony.

No won't change a thing.

I'm not sure how I'll handle PSN once it comes back, I did buy my PS3 mostly for the PSN games that wouldn't come out on Steam, but I'm not sure I'll trust Sony with my CC# again, even though they hopefully have upgraded their security to ensure the same thing won't happen again. I'll probably try a service called "Internet Cards" my bank has, where they generate one time use Visa cards for internet purchases, which sounds ideal for non-recurring stuff. Before the outage I was just about to start a PS+ membership though, which would require a subscription, so I'm not sure I'll go through with that idea.

Nope. Gonna keep using it how im using it now.

I'm going to keep using it. I'll even use my cc to make purchases still, even though I opted to get a replacement card as a result of the hack. The way I see it, they don't want to have a massive fuck up like this again, so they are going to be certain my cc and personal info is locked up tight. 

I'm taking my credit card info off, that's the difference.

Nope. Seeing as how most of the games I  play on my PS3 seem to be older PS2 RPG's that I missed out on back in the day, it has not affected me. The 10 or so PS3 games I have are all single player games anyway, so, again, it has not affected me.

The data breach changed the way I view Sony. I'm finished with their products.

All the people refusing to use their credit cards on it just seem silly to me. Nothing is going to happen, and even if it did you would just call up Visa and after a 5-10 minute conversation the charges would be reversed and you would have a new card on the way. Seems really silly to go through all the trouble of buying PSN cards.

Some people are overly dramatic.
