Sony holding a press Conference tomorrow about the hack
and speaking of press conferences E3 should be interesting.
Think he'll tell everyone what free game they're giving away or would that be out of place at this gathering?
" and speaking of press conferences E3 should be interesting.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 expect sony to address this by saying something like "we know we have to earn trust back so I hope the next 2 hours shows you why playstaton is still the leading brand in gaming"but I also wouldn't put it past microsoft execs to take some sucker punches while the world is watching. This is the opening they have been waiting for.
- 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 would definitely suggest he stand down.
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!!!!!)
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." @canucks23 said:

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....

" Xbox Live is the most secure online service in gaming." "Haha, that's what I've been thinking too. Considering the years of "paid multiplayer" potshots I can see how it would be hard for MS to resist.
"i would definitely suggest he stand down.geohotz pointed it out perfectly. if they spent less time hiring lawyers and more time hiring better programers etc this wouldn't happen"
Geohotz is still the reason this all happened, and he's trying to be a tough guy about it now even though Sony almost piledrived him into the earth.

"I'd definitely expect some Microsoft gloating at E3, people have held the RRoD and XBL Gold member subscription against MS for a long time.. Now Sony have hit a problem that is a lot more damaging to the consumers than the RRoD ever could be, and paying a subscription for MS to host their own servers as opposed to Sony doing everything cheaply through third parties is something I expect them to bring up

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. "i want him to be the CEO too. i think he'll do a good job of bringing Sony back from all of this

" @p_p_o_d said:Yeah, they JUST PROMOTED HIM, why is he going to stand down? He's addressing the issue. He's talking about what happened, what went wrong, what they did to fix it and what they're doing to make sure it isn't going to happen again.

No need to be dramatic.

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.
So that must have been one speedy presser
