    Anyone still on the hackers side? This is getting pathetic. Sure, companies should be required to have a certain degree of security on their websites, but they should also be allowed to operate without worrying about some lowlife basement scum trying to crash their servers and steal their data.

    They've just released a software update for the PS3...hopefully this means full functionality will return sometime in the next week!

    It works for me. They did have to shut it down briefly yesterday to handle everyone trying to download the firmware update and change their passwords at the same time, but I think it's back up now.

    And those are free for all PSN users, or just the PSN+ users? If so, inFamous is f*cking mine finally. Never got around to playing the awesomeness that is that game. LOL

    The whole list is for the people affected. The list doesn't include the games for PSN+ (I think).
