Everyone looking for Canada! The first update says the map will reflect Canada going online as well. They're playing by American rules and not even bothering to label it, haha.

I really hope Sony has great stuff lined up for when we get back online.

It's my birthday! Yay! Too bad I have no interest in the 3DS.

@SeriouslyNow:

I think you misread me.

I take specific issue with the prevention of the breach. With such stories of outdated security and poor encryption, that needs to be investigated. I don't know fuck all about appropriate counter measures; all I was saying is that they are designed by people, couldn't people inside know how to undo them? After it happened however, Sony has handle themselves pretty well. The network is down to protect the data while an investigation is carried out and the security is increased. It's the best possible response.

 @MajesticOverlord: 

I'll put myself in with the crowd of people saying Sony has handled this well so far. Passwords weren't stored in plain text, neither was credit card info. They shut down the service, and are taking as much time is necessary to prevent this problem in the future. They are being thorough. I'm missing out on Portal 2 co-op as well - and it sucks -  but free PlayStation Plus is a great consolation for downtime with a service I don't pay for.

The real issues are with the type of prevention that was in place, and if this was an inside job (possibly evidenced by the server move) how much could have been prevented? That's the place where Sony should be questioned. They've handled everything else pretty well.
