All is well again in the world.... of PSN. (for now)

 While I'm sure there's a plot scheming in the back of someones mind, I can't help but feel a bit relieved that downloaded content is once again available for those of us who didn't take the time to re-download games to a new PS3 console. It really helps as a reminder that with this digital downloading future, it all can be gone in a slight 'poof'. 
 
In a way I'm glad it's happened at this point, rather than finding out at a point in which the majority of content is made as a download only option. Hopefully, companies will take the time to really learn from this and keep a close eye on protecting valuable information, and provide ways to recoup lost data more effectively. Everyone makes mistakes, and while it shouldn't happen, the inevitable nature of progression will be constantly challenged. 
 
I really just wanted to clear the air a bit, and thank everyone for understanding the nature of this business. At Giant Bomb I was pretty impressed with the way we all kind of came together and didn't turn this all into a immature console war. I honestly saw X360 users truly give a damn, regardless of their stance.. and for that it's appreciated. No one likes a terrible gaming experience resulting from a YLOD, RROD, or breach of information and loss of service. 
 
Props GB community. 
PS I love you.
