so where is the funny news story on GB about this?
Alex doesn't mind snarking it up for every other news story and here is something that is actually kind of funny to the GB community for once and we get nothing.
2 psp and ps3 games and PS+ for the outage. ps+ people get 60 days added on to there membership.
AND free Identity theft protection for people worried about it.
I think they have done more then enough for there customers. Other then that I dont think there is anything more they could do to change peoples views on the attacks and they cant really stop the negative press other then maybe giving free ps3's to everyone at e3.
but that would just be silly. what kind of company would be desperate enough to bribe everyone at there e3 Press conference for positive coverage?
How is bribing people to make them forget that "oops, out security systems were hilariously out of date and now a bunch of criminals have your password, personal information including your name, date of birth, address and possibly your credit card information.. and we're going to wait a week or two before telling you" any better than giving out free systems to the press?
I'm not complaining about what Sony are doing here, but some of the fanboy comments are just mindboggling. How does it feel to be a corporate slave?
dude. Just saying there is Nothing they can do to change people views on the matter.
As someone who has followed the situation pretty close and can separate some of the FUD from the facts I am happy with the way sony has handled this mess. Maybe it would have been nice if there warning came a few days earlier but thats been my only problem with sony this whole thing.
Sony have covered there bases pretty well giving the situation by offering every PSN user free ID theft protection and the free games are good for less hardcore users but I dont see this stopping snarky comments on Kotaku and destructoid every time PSN is brought up in a press release for the next few years which will probably be the only fallout from this whole thing in 6 months.

other then the normal crushed blacks on the 360 and the lighter tone on ps3 there isnt much you can tell.
To me it looks like maybe the ps3 version has better SSAO (look at the corners of boxes and where walls meet the ground) but its hard to tell since the ps3 video is a pretty compressed and was probably recorded from a stream where as 360 video was probably recored from the console.
Still its better then comparing Promo videos to the finished game.
blah blah blah, No one cares about sony addressing PSN anymore. There is a bigger problem on the horizon and I think I speak to all of us when I ask what precautions Giantbomb are putting in place to protect its users from the threat of Leigh Alexander this year?
you know the more I think about it the more "winning e3" is a dumb idea and I kind of sigh inside every time Geoff says "but what does (game company X) have to do to win e3?".
Nintendo had some pretty shitty e3's when the Wii was the most successful.
MS's e3 last year was god awful and the 360 has had its best year ever over the last 12 months.
had some trouble logging in earlier but all if fine now.
Probably just server overload.
also if people are still wondering once you link your steam account to your psn account all the steam achievements you got before syncing show up on your steam profile once you sync.
the whole steam integration and unlocking the pc copy of portal 2 was super easy to get going.
Valve, showing others how its done since the mid 90s.
