Think he'll tell everyone what free game they're giving away or would that be out of place at this gathering?

- Kaz won't step-down but this could severly impact his chance to succeed Howard Stringer.
- They'll detail the problem a little more and try to convince people why PSN is a secure network.
- Possibly get details on what they will give us, be it a game or something else. I don't think they will announce it here but there is a chance.

I can't wait until Microsoft's E3 conference," Xbox Live is the most secure online service in gaming."

I doubt they'll say anything at all about it at e3. It'll probably be over by then and the last thing they'll want to do is remind everybody what happened. "

i would definitely suggest he stand down. 

This will be interesting.

I think they need to have Kevin Butler on hand to calm the crowd down in case they get too angry. 

One thing I dont get is why when any of bad stuff happens the current CEO of the project or whatever needs to step down? We are human so are they ,  and people can screw up some times (unless the decision costs human lives , then by all means they are guilty). I dont think we will get anything from Sony because it was an attack on them , not their screw up (as in they didnt cause the hack themselves .... unless 0_0!!!!!)

the average job gamer will have forgotten but the crowd full of jaded bitter lonely game journalists will be looking for blood.    
its better for sony to address it once at the start and just move on.   You wouldn't want some fuck from destructoid or somewhere trying to be cool running on stage with a "it only does identity theft" sign. 


Also I think its time for a new slogan....

geohotz pointed it out perfectly. if they spent less time hiring lawyers and more time hiring better programers etc this wouldn't happen

That brought a smile on my face. Cheers :)


@RE_Player92:

I think you'r spot on. Mr Hirai have the pressure on him now, so it will be interesting to see how this will play out.

Harai is going to everything to make sure he's CEO in a year or two...isn't he.

EDIT:  He deserves it, in my opinion.  The day he becomes CEO is the day I start buying Sony stock.  That man worked his ass off for Sony.

Will he do the presentation in LBP2?

Please let this be over with ASAP.

Let's stop with your conflict, drama loving foresights. There will be a very technical outline of what happened, and maybe an ETA of when the service should be stable. No one will resign (what?) and game journalists will be so sick and tired of saying PSN by the time it's fixed or by E3, that they won't care either, they'll just care when it's over and fixed.  "

2 hours to go!

It'll be very interesting to see what they have to say.

Does anyone know if there will be a stream of this? Or a live blog or something?

20 minutes to go!

About time...until they announce they will not be bringing back PSN because of security and piracy issues.

  I predict it will look something like this:

According to Reuters;

Sony said it would resume some PlayStation Network services this week and offer some free content to attract users back after a huge security breach that allowed the theft of personal information belonging to 77 million accounts.

Sony also said that it would create the post of Chief Information Security Officer and put in place stronger data encryption measures to bolster its protection of user information.

Haha, Kaz is looking pretty glum. 

They are going over pretty basic stuff that most of us already know. Hopefully something new will actually be announced.

EDIT: now they are goin into more detailed information.
